Dear friends, In this context, I wish to share my own experience, it was in 2015-2017 batch, I was allotted to handle Management Accountancy to MBA-1st Sem.students apart from M.Com. There, all streams combined, Engineers, Science, BCAs, BCSs, BBAs and B.Com. graduates. A handful of employed (part-time), students as well. It was co-ed & full time course. During the first few classes I could gather those non-commerce students didn’t know basics of Commerce & Accountancy. I thought atleast I should teach, to start with, debit & credit, journal entries, cash book, ledgers, trial balance, Profit & Loss a/c, balance sheet and then to other tools for Management Accounting and move on to the syllabus. After a few classes, my HOD called me and discussed about my approach and advised me please forget about whether they know the basic concepts and stick to only what is as per syllabus prescribed. Then I came to know many students from science streams met the HOD and complained that I went on teaching what’s not in the syllabus. I realised that learning the right thing & in right way is not the need of the hour but syllabus. Later I changed to sticking to syllabus cursing/curbing myself. Surprisingly, there was 100% pass. Mind you in the job market, MBA (Finance) considered to be equivalent to CAs and my students without basics known going to seek jobs meant for CAs. I wonder, what shall I say?
