Dear Mr Merchant

 

The number of students enrolled in each Bachelor of Commerce major in 2018
is provided in the table below. Note that students will not necessarily
complete the requirements and graduate with their declared majors and
students frequently transfer to other majors without changing their
details in the online system. When a student’s programme is checked by an
adviser their majors are updated in our system as required.

 

Students enrolled in BCom Majors (Conjoints included) in 2018
Majors Total number of enrolled students*
Accounting 2251
Commercial Law 687
Economics 979
Finance 1803
Infomgt 145
Infosys 709
Innovent 221
IntBus 536
Management 865
Marketing 1494
OpsMgt 291
Taxation 87

 

*Note that this includes students studying double and triple majors. The
data in this column cannot be totalled to determine the total number of
students enrolled in the BCom programme and BCom conjoint programmes.

 

The average GPA and attrition rate for each major is not held by the
University. This constitutes a refusal of your request under s 18(g) of
the Official Information Act. You have the right to make a complaint to an
Ombudsman about this response.

 

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Rebecca Ewert
