Concerns Raised Over Maths Background for B.Com Students Under NEP 2020
India's National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 has led to many B.Com students enrolling without having studied mathematics in Classes 11 and 12. This gap challenges their ability to handle quantitative subjects like Financial Accounting, Business Statistics, and Data Analytics, which require skills in algebra, ratios, and calculus. Educators face difficulties balancing curriculum rigor with student preparedness, raising concerns about the readiness of commerce graduates for careers in finance, banking, and analytics.
