Department of Commerce & Management Studies (Self Financing)

The Department of Commerce was started in the year 2013 under the visionary leadership of the Head of the department. Department of Commerce and management studies successfully enters into their sixth academic year. Department constitutes HOD and 9 faculties. Almost 500 students are admitted for this academic year.

The course was initiated with faculty members at a juncture when commerce as an educational choice was a distant one for professionals. However, today in a changed scenario where glass ceilings have been shattered and where students are making waves in the corporate and entrepreneurial arenas, Commerce has become one of the most sought-after courses. The department ensures the rigour of the academic programme and the faculty strive to coalesce imagination and learning with creativity and innovation. The thrust is towards challenging young people to explore alternative ways of being and seeing and to unite the language of critique with the language of possibility. The attempt is to imbue the teaching-learning process with the sensitivity that reconciles excellence with humanity, a pedagogy that can break free of rhetoric, shatter myths and rescue imagination and intuition, using them as resources to conceive and initiate change.

The Department of Commerce creates a stimulating environment for the academic growth of its students. The faculty members are known for their expertise in finance and organizational behaviour and the impact their students not just by their practical knowledge on the subjects but also through regular talks, paper, and computer presentations and field trips. The department’s objective in Commerce education is not only to promote Commerce but also to provide the right kind of work ethics, professional expertise, and leadership in all spheres of life.
