Ahmedabad University is a other institute, founded in 2009. This page brings together what is on record for this course at Ahmedabad University — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Sc programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means corporate finance, financial markets, accounting and investment analysis. Typical first jobs: financial analyst, banking or investment roles.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Ahmedabad University for the current semester-wise plan.
