Executive Vice President of the PCMA Dr. Ashwani Bhalla who is also secretary of the Faculty of Business Management and Commerce, Panjab University Chandigarh said that it is the need of the hour that our students should be equipped with latest aspects of knowledge to make them ready for employment in the industry but it is unfortunate that certain forces in the university for their vested interest are coming as a road block to implement the innovations in commerce education. He said that Panjab University has a history to take lead in implementing the world-class curriculum in the courses but some how few principals of rural colleges as well as aided colleges are not understanding the need of the students and giving the cry of funds, declaration of results and shortage of staff as the reasons for not implementing the semester system. He said that all the rural and aided colleges are getting the huge amount of grants from the University Grants Commission under various schemes in the name of rural colleges and modernization of education but are not ready to implement the policies of the UGC. Dr. Dharminder Singh Ubha said that Punjabi University Patiala has already implemented semester system in B.C.A/'B.B.A/ Bachelor of Acconting and Finance and B.Com (Professional) from the session 2010-11 and it is successfully running.
