tools of verbal and non-verbal forms both formal and informal. They must also be able to communicate on the

subjects like Tenders, Contracts, deals/negotiations through business communication including the use of e-

mail, developing websites and SMS.

Alongside learning the above mentioned tools and forms of business communications the students ought to be

trained in business acumen, corporate culture, image management and personality development by learning and

practicing techniques of Group Communication and job interviews. Such learning and practice shall enable the

students to prepare themselves for job selections through or outside Campus Placements.

DESIRED OUTCOME OF THE COURSE By the end of VI Semester, the students should be able to:-

1. Understand business communication tools and forms, internally as well as externally and formally as

well as informally on behalf of their parent organizations.

2. Learn writing business communication tools like letters, minutes, e-mail messaging, SMS messaging

and developing Websites.

3. Learn and practice business correspondence relating to tenders, contracts and negotiations.

The teacher should be able to teach the techniques and procedure for group communication and job

interviews through class room teaching and practical activities.

To practice the students in Group Communications and by conducting mock interviews during practicals.

Although Group Communication be practiced in groups of 8 to 10 students and mock interviews on individuals

but the rest of the class be made to be present in good listening distance inside the room. The non-

participating students be encouraged to find faults/give comments on the performance of individual students

in discussions and mock-interviews.

No single book is available which solely covers the entire syllabus. Therefore, the teacher should make

notes from available books for teaching, well before the actual teaching classes. Practicals be best utilized to

practice students in writing various forms and tools of business communication as well as activities of group

communications and interviews.

Students be encouraged to be proficient by self-learning through internet as well as by writing

assignments.
