With no separate facilities for the Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) course, several government colleges have discontinued the course while others are about to do so.

This came to light in a reply sought under the RTI Act by Meenakshi, a PhD student working in a private college.

Meenakshi said that she had sought information from the Director-General, Higher Education, Haryana, on July 6, 2015, regarding the number of colleges offering the BBA course.

Her application was forwarded to all principals of the government colleges in the state, she said.

“According to the reply, the BBA course is being taught in 14 government colleges seven of which have either discontinued the programme or are about to do so,” she said.

She said the records revealed that seats remained vacant in the BBA programme in several colleges. Moreover, the course was being run under the Commerce Department and no separate department had been created for it, she added. She demanded that there should be a separate department for the course.

“Since BBA is a professional course, it requires different educational skills which the commerce faculty is not fully competent to provide as a result of which students have to migrate to big cities,” she added.
