Brief History of Department:

Known as the ‘Gateway to Commerce Education’ in India, the Department is a pioneering institution which has earned a niche for itself in academic excellence ever since its inception in 1921. With a vision for tomorrow, the Department continues its endeavour in research, business and management education, consultancy along with UGC funded research projects. The Department aims at upliftment of overall academic standards of both teachers and students and to impart light of learning to all its students.

The Department every year produces more than 160 post graduate commerce students. The Department launched Three Post graduate Management Programmes viz. Master of Management Sciences, Master of Corporate Management and Master of Finance & Control; one under graduate management programme viz. Bachelor of Management Sciences; one diploma course viz., Post Graduate Diploma in Financial Markets and Portfolio Management. These courses are now run under the banner of Institute of Management Sciences.
