While the pandemic threw a curveball, forcing Shaheed Sukhdev College of Busin­ess Studies (SSCBS), University of Delhi, to adapt to the new normal with digital whiteboards in place of blackboards and online platforms instead of in-person teaching, the college took it as a challenge.

Hence, several steps were undertaken to make the most of online teaching, and remote access to study resources was provided to students and faculty. To ensure that the college experience was not compromised, over 40 student societies were encouraged to organise academic and co-curricular activities.

The college believes in real world case-based teaching and knows that it happens outside classrooms. Its flagship programmes, Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Management Studies, not only provide the theoretical framework but also impart practical skills. Its students have won several competitions, such as the Harvard Global Case Competition, the Enactus World Cup and the Brain Wars case competition conducted by Bain & Company. While the college offers add-on courses as bridge courses, its career development cell runs initiatives such as the Buddy Project to bridge the gap between students and the corporate world. As part of it, third-year students who have been already placed act as mentors to second-year students preparing for placements.

During the past year, SSCBS has been working towards the implementation of NEP 2020 and the four-year undergraduate framework with multiple exit and entry options. It has involved itself in the Vidya-Vistar Scheme (V2S) of Delhi University to augment the academic capacity of colleges located in remote areas like Lakshadweep, Arunachal Pradesh and Ladakh. Says Poonam Verma, princi­pal, Shaheed Sukhdev College of Busin­ess Studies, “Through V2S, we plan to share resources such as digital libraries, catalogs, journals, and research environm­ents for students in collaboration with our faculty.”

The SSCBS Institution’s Innovation Council (SSCBS-IIC), an initiative under the Union Ministry of Education, was started in January 2022. Its purpose is to create a vibrant local innovation ecosystem for pre-incubation of ideas. Workshops on ideation, problem-solving, design thinking and hackathon were conducted by the college to encourage technical innovation among students.

In the past year, the SSCBS Innovation and Incubation Foundation (SIIF) successfully adjusted to the hybrid working mode and has been working to rejuvenate and strengthen its facilities and mentor network. SIIF is in active discussions with over 10 new ventures and ideas, has added 15 new mentors to its panel of industry experts and is undertaking discussions with various partners, such as IID (Institute for Industrial Development) and FundEnable, to run add-on courses in entrepreneurship.

The SIIF, since its inception in October 2016, has incubated over 33 start-ups, funded over eight start-ups, and sensitised over 2,500 students, motivating them to take up entrepreneurship. Both students and faculty collaborated in research publications in journals. With respect to placements, despite the pandemic, there was a marked increase of 33 per cent in the number of new companies visiting the college campus. The average salary increased by more than 40 per cent—from Rs 7 lakh to over Rs 10 lakh per annum, the highest being Rs 36 lakh per annum offered by an Indian fintech company. While 90 per cent of the students have already been placed and the second phase of the placements season yet to close, pre-placement offers have also increased by 150 per cent compared to the year before.
