This forward-thinking initiative places DES PU among the leading institutions offering future-ready education aligned with evolving global industry demands.
As automation reshapes global job markets, DES PU emphasizes the growing need for professionals equipped with uniquely human skills--critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, emotional intelligence, and effective communication.

From the first semester itself, students will engage in industry immersion programs, case-based learning, digital tools, and project-based coursework. This structure ensures that students not only learn theoretical concepts but also gain hands-on exposure to business practices through early experiential modules.
The updated BBA program includes key subject areas such as Marketing, Finance, Human Resource Management, and Cross-Cultural Management, in line with NEP 2020 guidelines. These subjects are delivered through a practice-oriented, application-driven approach, helping students build decision-making and problem-solving capabilities while preparing for leadership roles in diverse industries.

To ensure wide accessibility to aspiring students, DES PU has outlined the following eligibility norms:
* Minimum passing score in Class 12th or equivalent (SSC/ISC/CBSE/NIOS/State Boards) with English as a subject, in any stream, from a Government-approved institution.
* For reserved category candidates from Maharashtra, only a minimum passing score is required.
* Alternatively, candidates may apply with a minimum 60% aggregate score in:
* A 3-year Diploma from any Government-approved institution with English.
* Competency and Vocational Courses (MCVC) with English as a subject.
Selection Process:

This dual pathway ensures flexibility and fair access to students across the country.
