About the Commerce Department

The Department of Commerce, University of Calcutta, from its inception in 1922, has traversed
a long way before resting on the laurels of becoming the first UGC-acclaimed Centre of
Advanced Study (CAS) among Commerce Departments of UGC-approved Indian universities.
The Department takes pride in its commendable performance vis-à-vis major developmental
indicators such as student intake, number of teachers, published research work, updated curricula
and courseware. Since a long time, the Department has been utilizing the services of numerous
guest faculty members drawn from both academic institutions and industrial organizations of
repute. At present, it has 19 whole time teachers and 38 guest faculty members. Many of the
distinguished faculty members have done Ph.D. and are members of various professional
institutions. Some of them have also travelled abroad for attending national and international
seminars and conferences.
The Department, in keeping with the advancements in different branches of Commerce
education, has revised the curriculum from time to time to make it compatible with contemporary
challenges in the world of business practice. The immense popularity of the M.Com. programme
among students compels the Department to hold classes both, during the Day and the Evening
shifts. The department also runs an M.Phil. programme since 1988.
The Ph.D. programme of the Department is one of its strongest areas. A large number of
researchers have got their Ph.D. degrees in accounting, finance, management and other allied
areas in Commerce under the supervision of distinguished members of the faculty. At present,
many research scholars are carrying on research work in various fields of studies under the
guidance of faculty members.
The Department publishes a refereed bi-annual journal, Business Studies (ISSN 0970-657),
based upon contributions from reputed academicians and researchers across the country.
Research and teaching performance of the teachers of the Department had earned all India
recognition leading to sanction of Special Assistance Programme by the University Grants
Commission in 1987. The third phase of the SAP concluded in March 2009. A number of research
volumes have been published by the Department under this programme during the last two
phases.
National Seminars and Conferences on contemporary issues are held periodically in each year.
In April 2005, the Department in recognition of its contribution to academic and research
activities was granted financial support under ASIHSS—an Infrastructure Development
Programme, by the University Grants Commission. Since April 2009, the Department has earned
the unique distinction in the country by being awarded the Centre of Advanced Study (CAS).
Aware of the pressing need of the hour to have a Master’s Degree in Finance, the Department
launched a two-year full-time Master of Business Administration in Finance (MBA in Finance)
in September 2005 renamed, as per UGC direction, as MBA (Financial Management) from 2017.
This programme has proven successes both in academic attainments and in placement. The
twentieth batch of students (2024-2026) will be admitted herewith. Particulars about the course
structure, fees payable and the Regulations are given subsequently for information of the
interested students.
The course adopted Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) and
Grading System from the Session (2018-20).
