Delhi University’s department of financial studies (DFS) and department of business economics (DBE) will conduct a joint entrance exam. Students appearing for the exam will be eligible to apply for a two-year master of finance and control (MFC) programme and two-year master of business economics (MBE) programme for the academic session commencing July 2010.

“Over the years we held separate exams, but maximum candidates applying for both the courses were common. The joint entrance will save time and resources for both departments,” said Muneesh Kumar, coordinator, admission and placements, DFS. This is the first time that two departments of the university have agreed to conduct a common exam.

The admission test will be held on March 21 at Delhi, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Bhopal, Bhubaneshwar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Lucknow and Mumbai. Graduates or postgraduate students (any discipline) with 50% marks are eligible to apply. The prospects and applications forms can be downloaded (www.mfc.edu or www.mbe-du.org). Last date for submission of completed application form is February 24.
