Chandigarh, 18 June 2025: In today’s competitive professional landscape, where efficiency, digital literacy, and organisational acumen are paramount, Mehr Chand Mahajan DAV College for Women, Chandigarh, stands out as a pioneer in preparing young women for success through its specialised course in Office Management and Secretarial Practice (OMS).
Offered under the B.A. stream, this career-centric programme is open to students who have passed Class XII from a recognised board or university. The OMS course blends traditional administrative training with cutting-edge digital competencies, and provides in-depth knowledge of office procedures, record-keeping, meeting coordination, professional documentation, and workflow management. A strong practical component complements the theoretical framework, with hands-on training in tools such as the MS Office Suite, database applications, email and communication platforms. Additionally, the course offers skill-building in stenography and high-speed typing—both essential for roles in executive assistance and data handling. One of the programme’s most impactful features is its integration with the ‘Earn While You Learn’ initiative, enabling students to gain real-time work experience alongside their studies.
Career Opportunities: Graduates of the OMS course are well-equipped for a range of positions including executive assistants, office administrators, front desk officers, personal secretaries, and data entry professionals across both public and private sectors. The course also offers a solid foundation for those aspiring to government roles or entrepreneurial ventures in administrative services.
