Name of the Programme: Bachelor of Arts (BA) Hons.

(A) PROGRAMME’S MISSION & OBJECTIVES:

The BA course provides an education in variety of contexts. The BA aims to offer education that is

accessible to students with a wide range of educational backgrounds and professional and personal

circumstances: many will be mature students, many will be employed and therefore studying part

team-taught by teachers from across the University. The course incorporates a variety of modes of

learning and teaching.

Basically the programme focusing towards those persons who are employed and who have not time

to attend class on regular days. Skill enhancement and knowledge acquisition are the very

important aspects of any job. Skills and knowledge are perhaps the only two factors that propel

your career to the greater heights. One way for a working professional to acquire new skills and

knowledge is to grab every learning opportunity thrown at them. The other way is to pursue a

distance BA(Hons) course and gain the skills in a shorter span of time. Working professionals can

benefit immensely from distance BA (Hons) course. These courses are available part -time and

hence you do not need to quit the job for them. You can continue with your occupation and learn

Commerce side by side. Whether you are an engineer or any other professional, learning business

management could boost your career significantly.

(D) APPROPRIATENESS OF PROGRAMME TO BE CONDUCTED IN OPEN AND DISTANCE

LEARNING MODE TO ACQUIRE SPECIFIC SKILLS AND COMPETENCE:

B.A education gives you new skills and knowledge to enhance your current career. After working

in the office for two or three years, and gaining adequate experience, you will realize that you were

in fact stuck in a comfort zone. By doing your BA course, you will soon be forced out of your

comfort zone and learn how to deal with the latest issues. This program will give you the

opportunity to constantly challenge and push yourself in order to continuously improve.

Develop priceless managerial skills.

Experience a new place and culture during your studies

(G) REQUIREMENT OF THE LABORATORY SUPPORT AND LIBRARY RESOURCES:

Library use study as an aspect of users’ studies is a vital aid for effective planning and

management in academic libraries. Most evaluative studies on library use have always

concentrated on students’ use of academic libraries. So the DDCE, Fakir Mohan University is

providing library and computer lab facility to B.A students. The need for good libraries in higher

institutions of learning cannot be over-emphasized, as the quality of any education depends on the

library, not the library as a magnificent building but the use of it. It is important that libraries

serving academic communities have the broadest possible collection of books and other essential

materials. The academic library is an inexhaustible stone house of knowledge, where one can go at

will, unrestricted to help himself to the whole field of knowledge and practical life of the past,

present and prognostications for the future.

The DDCE review process calls upon institutions to describe how the curriculum addresses each of

the five core competencies, explain their learning outcomes in relation to those core competencies,

and demonstrate, through evidence of student performance, the extent to which those outcomes are

achieved. If they wish, institutions may create their own limited list of essential higher -order

The following relevances are very much important in HEI’s goal:

BUSINESS STUDIES

Business Studies is an important subject for commerce students. Here are some of the reasons why

one should study Business Studies:

Business Studies is a subject that deals with the operation and organization of modern business

enterprises. The subject covers each feature of a business firm, such as how a firm will be affected

in different business situations.

The main areas of study in the subject include business organizations, their various features,

structure and functioning, marketing, operations management, human resource management, etc.

Studying Business allows a student to observe and analyze the behavior and tactics of different

firms.

The subject of Business Studies involves more than just mastering the art of doing business. The

subject brings students abreast with the corporate culture and prepares them for their professional

life.

Business activities are something that affect the daily lives of all people in a society. It also

influences creation of employment, incomes, opportunities for personal enterprise, standards of

living of all individuals. Studying business allows a student to understand how business activities

influence the society and the economy directly and indirectly.

of your comfort zone and learn how to deal with the latest issues. This program will give you the

opportunity to constantly challenge and push yourself in order to continuously improve.
