Education in Transition – BCom at NorthCap University

 In recent years, it has been acknowledged by the education sector that there has been a lot of emphasis on core courses to be taught in undergraduate programs. The vibrant business environment demands the acquirements to be more meaningful and purposeful. Bachelor of Commerce, at The NorthCap University, has come a long way to enhance the learning experience of students. Apart from offering conventional subjects, the program is embracing the interdisciplinary approach to conceive the business world from diverse perspectives. The advent of aspects like critical thinking has enabled students to analyse various challenges of corporate houses more objectively. The current scenario of cashless economy for example has paved way for new businesses that can be operated online. Paperless offices are gaining momentum in our country and posing new challenges for upcoming employments. The university has comprehended the current trends  and integrated courses like E-Commerce in the curriculum to give a boost to the career of students. Moreover, inclusion of Fine Arts in the course would stimulate students to look across disciplinary boundaries and enhance their creative potential. The analytical skills honed by education of fine arts provide a potential to understand the underlying patterns of consumer behaviour. The integration of various courses will enrich the knowledge of students and contribute in their trajectory of success.

Beyond Academics – More to Life at NCU

 It’s so rare, that you get to board a ship that has to sail through an ocean of learning, filled with exciting voyages, jubilations, and fun. At NCU ‘Student Activities & Leadership (SAL)’ is undeniably one such ship. It is a springboard for students who are creatively inclined towards showcasing their talent in extra and co-curricular activities. With more than 50 clubs and societies under its ambit, it offers a platform where dreams are nurtured, thoughts are bartered, concepts are learnt, unlearned and relearned, through a gamut of student-led events and activities ably guided by learned and experienced faculty mentors. Some of the societies and clubs being Enactus, Moot Court Society, ASQ, Exuberance, Synergy, Economic Collective, Manovriti, Marketing Mavens, HRdiya, Financial and Investment Cell, Heritage Club, ModelUN, Google Students Club, Synergy Club, Social Club, Lumiere, Yoga Club, Mathematics Club, Entrepreneurship Cell, and NSS. The office of Students’ Activities serves as a living, learning, and wellness centre for students to coordinate a broad range of socio-cultural, intellectual, educational, sporting, and leadership events. To ensure seamless participation of students, our academic timetable is designed to offer a separate slot for all such activities and events. ‘Momentum’, the 3 days annual techno-cultural festival of the University, which synthesizes technical knowledge with fun, is being organized every year. And to top it all – participation in Co and Extra Curricular activities helps students earn credits towards the General Proficiency Course, a part of the scheme of study of every program offered at NCU.

Even the worst hit pandemic of mankind couldn’t stop us in bringing college life at home, sitting in front of the virtual panorama of computer screens with plethora of online activities enriching students’ mind, body, and spirit such as ‘The Great COVID19 Bake Off Challenge’, Creative Writing, Arthargument 2.0 and the Independence Day Quiz, to name a few.

Why Study Chemistry at NCU?

Chemistry is an important branch of science that focuses on energy and matter. It occurs in everything in our daily life including the air we breathe, the food we eat and the water we drink.All phenomena on this earth involve chemical processes.The products created by engineers are based on chemistry. Things fail when chemicals interact in undesirable ways.Even, emotions like happiness, sadness and love involve chemistry.

NCU offers engineering chemistry as a subject to all the students of the School of Engineering and Technology (SOET) in order to familiarize them with the applications of chemistry in various fields of science and engineering.Apart from studying the core course, students at NCU are also offered specialised courses such as Nanotechnology, Green Technology and Polymer & Composites as electives.The curriculum for all the courses taught has been designed in consultation with mentors from IITD. 

The faculty at the University acts as catalysts that ignite the spark in the students and make them ready for learning. Our classroom teaching is enriched through different teaching methodologies like guided teaching, drill & practice, use of audio/video aids and many more.The departments has a well-equipped chemistry lab that houses instruments like UV spectrophotometer, pH meter, conductometer and several other instruments that are used by students to perform experiments that help in complementing classroom teaching with practice sessions. 

The use of chemistry software makes the practical component very fascinating.Project-based learning is an integral part of the curriculum where students are involved in project work that helps in inculcating team-building and problem-solving skills.The students showcase these projects every year in an exhibition held on the National Science Day.Advanced tools including virtual labs, MOOC Courses etc. are additionally being used for imparting knowledge.
