History[]

The college was established as College of Business Studies under the aegis of the Delhi University in 1987. Dr. S.S. Gulshan was behind the idea of undergraduate business management education and was appointed as the principal of the college.

In 1991, the College of Business Studies was the first college in Delhi University to adopt the semester system, for its bachelor of business studies course. The semester system was then implemented in all courses across the university in 2010.

The college was rechristened as 'Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies' in 1997, after Indian revolutionary Sukhdev Thapar who along with Bhagat Singh and Shivaram Rajguru became part of independence folklore.

In 1999, the college became the only college in the country to offer a bachelor of financial and investment analysis programme, a core finance-based programme spread over six semesters.[1]

Since May 2013, bachelor of business studies courses have been transformed to bachelor in management studies, which is directly under the aegis of Faculty of Management Studies. It also offers a tertiary course namely Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) Honours.[citation needed]

The Faculty of Management Studies (FMS) undertakes the responsibility for admissions. Selection criteria for prospective students consist of the following (weightage in admission decisions given in brackets):

1. An objective written test, the Joint Entrance Test - includes a wide variety of questions on verbal skills, quantitative skills, logic, business knowledge, and current affairs (65%)
2.Marks scored in class 12th board examination. (Percentage of best four subjects including mathematics and English) (35%)[4]

The admission test is highly competitive with only 300 seats (with 150 UR + 150 Reserved category) and a selection ratio of 1:150

The admission to the B.Sc Computer Science programme is done solely on cut-offs based on Class XII performance. The cutoff of this college is comparatively very high for this course.
