New Delhi sources have stated that currently Delhi University is planning to include the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in its curriculum for students of B Com (Hons), B Com and B A Program. It was stated that a proposal for this has been cleared by the university's academic council and is awaiting a nod from the executive council.

Meanwhile students of B Com will study it in the fifth semester as a
second paper with the same title. Sources have added that in the B A Programme,
students will be studying GST in two papers (paper 3 and paper 4). It will be
compulsory only for those B A Programme students who have Taxation as an
optional subject and added that all the papers will carry 100 marks and it will
be compulsory for students of B Com, B Com (Hons) and B A Programme, who choose
Taxation as optional (subject).
