Principals Message
Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies, University of Delhi has a legacy of academic and professional excellence and has been a pioneer in undergraduate management education since 1987. We constantly strive to meet the growing needs of the industry with innovative methods of classroom teaching and ample corporate exposure. The faculty, the staff, the students and the alumni work together to create an environment wherein every student has the opportunity to develop skills in his or her specific area of interest. Each one of our students, I believe, has transformed from a mere 10+2 school pass out into a mature individual and given the right opportunity, they hold the potential to further transform themselves into astute thought leaders of tomorrow. With this, I welcome our friends from the corporate world and the industry to take part in this final stage of their transformation and invite you to our campus for placements for the batch of 2011-12. I also thank each one of you for the unflinching support and constant patronage that you have provided to SSCBS in the past. We look forward to experiencing the same synergy in the future

Faculty

The faculty is handpicked from the top B-Schools of India, including IIM-A, IIM-C, FMS and ICFAI. There is a constant endeavor to combine classroom teaching with corporate exposure by way of summer training, case studies, simulations and projects. The faculty at CBS caters to the students' individual needs by providing ready assistance to them in their academic, research and career problems. Each year we try to raise the bar set by us as we move to more innovative and unconventional ways of teaching as learning supplements, besides retaining the core strength of dedicated class room teaching. At CBS, the faculty teaches by the ideals of practical learning supplemented by a strong theoretical knowledge of subjects.

The CBS Difference

CBS was the first college under the University of Delhi to offer an undergraduate management education, and that spirit of innovation still drives us today. What sets CBS apart from various other colleges is our recognition of the fact that every student is different. We strive to identify and cultivate that difference. We constantly endeavour to create opportunities for skill development in different areas of interest, and to cater to the diverse needs of our students. Apart from possessing a clear understanding of the fundamentals of management as well as a considerable degree of corporate exposure, our students are resourceful, versatile and enthusiastic. It is this marked difference that has helped the college set new benchmarks every placement season. Apart from placements, the college places a strong emphasis on entrepreneurship and was the first college in the University of Delhi to have an on-campus Incubation Centre that has given birth to multiple startups, three of which are currently generating annual revenues worth over 5 lakhs each. Our students are not only entrepreneurial in nature, but innovative as well and one of the students at the undergraduate level even has a patent pending in his name.

Extracurricular Activities
At CBS, we take our Extra Curricular Activities very seriously and testimony to that fact is the sheer number of societies we have and the diverse areas in which they operate. CBS offers a competitive environment, where students can pursue their visions and interests. Various organizational and extra-curricular experiences help the students in leveraging the gains of the structured program. Events are organized and handled independently by students as a necessary supplement to classroom teaching. These events act as exercises in multitasking, time management and sharpening organizational, leadership, and coordination skills

The Slot Results will be indicated to the recruiters 10 days prior to the commencement of the Placement Process.

In the event that a student receives multiple offers, he/she will have to make an on-the-spot decision with respect to the companies making offers to him/her. 3. A student may apply to all the slots until he/she has been made at least one offer. A student who has received an offer is entitled to apply to a maximum of one more company provided he/she has ranked it higher.
