Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies (SSCBS) is a premier institution under the aegis of University of Delhi, imparting education in the fields of management and information technology with excellence and vision.The college was established in 1987 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development as the first collegiate business school in India , since then it has been constantly ranked among the top undergraduate business schools of Asia .

In 2011, only 217 students were selected from over 20,000 applicants. This acceptance rate — fewer than 1 of every 90 students — marks SSCBS as one of the most competitive undergraduate colleges in India.^{[citation needed]}

The college is located near Vivek Vihar in East Delhi and is served by the Blue and Red lines of the Delhi Metro.

Academics

The college offers four courses of study – three undergraduate, one postgraduate.

• Bachelor of Business Studies (BBS)

The curriculum for the flagship BBS program lasts for six semesters. It is rigorous, multidisciplinary, flexible and continuously enriched with the latest developments in management theory and practice.^{[citation needed]} Students may choose to complete a supplementary summer internship at the end of their second semester; an internship of six to eight weeks is mandatory at the end of the fourth semester. In their fifth and sixth semesters, students may choose to specialize in Finance, Marketing, or Human Resource Development. Each semester culminates in university examinations.

This program's course structure is an original initiative of Delhi University; similar patterns have been adopted by other private undergraduate business schools.^{[citation needed]} The BBS at SSCBS is considered the most extensive undergraduate management course in India.^{[citation needed]}

• Bachelor of Financial and Investment Analysis (BFIA)
