T ISSION TEST In an effort to cope with enormous expansion, while continuing to maintain its high academic standards, the University of Delhi in the early seventies, initiated a new organization pattern based on the concept of a multi-campus institution. Following this policy, the University started the South Campus in 1973 as an experiment in multi-campus system with a focus on interdisciplinary programmes in Social Sciences, Humanities and Applied Sciences. During the past two and a half decades, the campus has emerged as a pioneer institution of higher education, learning and research and has acquired an identity of its own. The University of Delhi South Campus has decided to conduct a t ission test for two of its flagship programmes, namely Master of Finance and Control (MFC) and Master of Business Economics (MBE). The ission test, followed by Group Discussion and Personal Interview of shortlisted candidates, will form the basis of ission to these courses. The candidates shall have the option to apply for either or for both the programmes by paying the appropriate fee as indicated later in this prospectus.

MESSAGE

W

hen the MFC programme was initiated by Department of Financial Studies 20 years back, it was a foray in an uncharted territory in the Indian educational scenario. Based on the lines of MS (Finance) offered internationally, it was a one of its kind, niche course in Finance, designed and developed to cater to the needs of the opening Indian Financial Sector.

Today it is not enough to understand Finance, Marketing or Operations as stand alone functions but to see them together as an integrated subject of study. One has to learn how to innovate taking a holistic view of the enterprise and using advanced tools of analysis. The corporate decisions have to be based on scientific enquiry and objective judgement. MFC students are trained to be able to crunch numbers and develop ability to execute tasks with efficacy. The commendable performance of our alumni and their acceptance by the corporate world reinforce the strengths of our curriculum, pedagogy and student selection. We aim at building a world class Business School which turns out well rounded professionals equipped with in-depth knowledge of finance, cross functional integration, inter personal skills along with a global perspective. Finally, I am pleased to announce that our Department is developing vibrant synergy with the Department of Business Economics at the South Campus to bring even greater value to research and teaching activities Prof. Sanjay Sehgal Head Department of Financial Studies

ABOUT MFC

A WORD FROM THE HEAD OF THE DEPARTMENT

ABOUT MFC

MASTER OF FINANCE & CONTROL

T

he pioneering two-year (full-time) Master of Finance and Control (MFC) Programme was launched by the University of Delhi in the year 1987-88 when a group of visionaries at the South Campus foresaw challenges that the winds of liberalization would throw up and envisioned the need for trained and specialised finance professionals. The MFC programme emerged as a highly successful professional programme in of students' response and industry acceptance, as evidenced by the quality of placement of its students over the years. The transformation from a controlled and regulated economy to a liberalized and globalised one since the early 1990s brought about a sea-change in the Indian financial environment, presenting both challenge and opportunities for finance academics as well as professionals. In recognition of the emerging challenge and in an effort to reorient the MFC programme in response to the unfolding opportunities, the University of Delhi, established the Department of Financial Studies in 1994. The Department, which is the first of its kind in India, provides the necessary infrastructural umbrella for servicing the MFC programme in tune with the requirements of the emerging liberalised and globalised financial sector of the country.

THE FACULTY The Department has, at present, five permanent faculty . The process of filling up another eleven faculty positions has already been started.

MESSAGE

I

t gives me immense pleasure and pride to introduce the Master of Business Economics programme of the University of Delhi. The programme is designed to offer a coordinated set of courses in Business, Economics and quantitative techniques and is an endeavour towards fulfilling the need for a new generation of business economists and managers equipped with the requisite analytical skills oriented towards business challenges. The programmee offers distinct features that differentiate it significantly from other business programmes. The fusion of business subjects with relevant courses in economics and quantitative techniques equips students with academically founded knowledge enabling them to take an analytical approach rather than merely a managerial approach to business problems. The rigorous and contextual curriculum imparted by way of classroom lectures, case studies, projects, research papers and regular industry interface equip students with the latest knowledge and skills to adapt themselves to the rapidly changing business scenario. The programme ensures vast employment opportunities in business consulting firms, management consulting firms, banks and financial institutions. It boasts of 100 per cent campus placement every year. The past 37 years have witnessed the energetic and visionary youths of the MBE programme, carving places for themselves as stockexchange analysts, business anlysts, financial planners, economic consultants, entrepreneurs, financial advisors, marketing managers, lecturers, academics, management consultants and economics journalists. I assure you that it will be an important stepping stone in your life. I invite you to the MBE fraternity as you embark on the journey towards your career goals. Finally, I am pleased to announce that our Department is developing vibrant synergy with the Department of Financial Studies at the South Campus to provide even greater value to our teaching and research activities.
