Delhi University stated that mathematics wont be required for admission to the four year Bachelor with Honours course in Commerce from the 2013-14 academic session onward.
Till last year, most colleges were not accepting students in the Honours Programme of Commerce (B Com (Honours) without Mathematics. As a result, a large number of students who had pursued commerce without Mathematics in their class 12th were deprived of admission in different colleges.
Mathematics was not compulsory for just SC and ST category students but now the university has approved this for the general and OBC category students as well.
The students are hanging in between as the university has not published the additional eligibility criteria in the brochures. When inquired, the administration suggests the students to check the website and on the website it is published in the additional eligibility criteria that mathematics is compulsory for admissions in commerce.
The DU administration says that mathematics might have been made compulsory in the additional eligibility criteria sent by different colleges but the administration of the university has given instructions that mathematics will be taught in foundation courses, therefore, there is no need for have studied maths earlier.
