Chairperson's Message

Commerce education has been a foundational pillar for students of business, trade, and commerce since its inception. Over time, it has evolved to adapt to changes in business transactions. Education in commerce empowers students to effectively and efficiently manage their own businesses. It extends beyond trade and commerce, playing a crucial role in the corporate sector, particularly in accounting and finance. Additionally, it prepares students to excel in key positions within NGOs and projects initiated by government or private organizations.

Commerce graduates are not only experts in accounting and finance but are also eligible to work as auditors and tax consultants in various organizations. Maintenance of accounts and financial management are vital to any organization, highlighting the increasing importance of commerce education. There is hardly any department, whether government or private, that does not employ commerce-educated individuals.

With the rapid changes in technology and business practices, commerce education departments have introduced programs like BS E-Commerce and BS Digital Accounting and Finance to meet current market trends.
