"The newly launched courses include four evening diploma courses on GST, retail and sales management, insurance risk management and Spanish language. Two Integrated Masters Degree (IMD) courses on commerce and chemistry are also being launched along with the one-year diploma programmes in the university," Dr. Rakesh Roy, Assistant Controller of Examinations Rakesh Roy said.

Describing the new courses as a novel, Dr Roy said that these courses will open up new ways of employment for students. Students who have already qualified their Higher Secondary or its equivalent examinations with at least four subjects including English from any recognised education board or council would be eligible to seek admission in these new courses.

Each of these new courses will allow 60 students to take admission by August 31. The admission process for intake in these programmes has already commenced in the meantime. Courses fees for the one-year evening diploma programmes in GST, retail and sales management, insurance risk management and Spanish language were set in self-financing mode and candidates would have to shell out Rs 23,000 per semester for these courses.

While talking to a media house, Professor Satyadeo Podder, Vice-Chancellor, MBB University said the new courses will be beneficial for those students who are seeking entrepreneurial ventures. “Anyone having expertise in GST calculation would be of immense value to any industry at this moment. There is a huge workforce seeking jobs of Rs 10-20,000 a month elsewhere in India now. With this course, they would be able to earn this money with dignity from the comfort of their home state”, he said.

The Vice-Chancellor also said he is hopeful of starting new professional and vocational programmes if the move of starting these courses become successful.
