As IT solutions continue to increase efficiency and effectiveness of business operations and communications, businesses will continue to depend on IT to be successful.
Aspiring Commerce graduates should be aware that most jobs now require the use of computers, mobile devices or software applications in some capacity. Thus, to be job ready, along with strong academic and domain knowledge, students must also possess the necessary job skills that will help them stand out from their peers, prominent among these being IT skills.
The Department of Information Technology designed a quiz called IT Basics to test basic knowledge of IT among the student community. The Quiz was kept open from July 4th to 15th. 533 people answered the quiz and were awarded e-certificates.
Another objective of the quiz was to promote the Computer Applications course, which is offered as a Generic Elective in the First Year of the B.Com Programme.
