Abstract

Each and every action taken by a person is based on how much knowledge he possess in the respective area of operation, in a day he may perform many actions based on his level of knowledge. So there is a greater importance to the knowledge.  The knowledge can be gained through academic syllabus in schools, colleges & in universities and more practically through exposure to the practical experiments / environments.  The knowledge which is gained through schools, colleges and in universities can be classified as Formal Education. And the knowledge which is gained outside through exposure to practical environment can be classified as Informal Education  The knowledge which we gained through universities is inadequate to meet the expectation of real world. There is a mismatch in the syllabus (as per university) and the practical applicability of it. So syllabus in the universities should be in the way that able to meet the requirements of present business world.

Introduction

The capability of students is based on what they learnt in their formal education. Students will struggle if the syllabus is differ from the practical requirement.  So there is a greater need to adopt the syllabus that can able to meet the requirements of changing present practical world. This study is based on the Tumkur University syllabus (commerce) and trying to find drawbacks and suggest the possible changes in the syllabus.

Drawbacks / limitations of syllabus
