Overview

From its inception in 1922, the Department of Commerce, University of Calcutta 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-A -vis major developmental indicators such as student intake, number of teachers, published research work, updated curricula and course ware. Almost from the very beginning, the Department has been utilizing the services of a number of guest faculty members drawn from both academic institutions and industrial organizations of repute. At present, it has 17 whole time teachers and 26 guest faculty members. Most of the distinguished faculty members have doctoral degrees and are members of various professional institutions.

The Department, in keeping with the advances made in different branches of commerce, has revised the curriculum from time to time. The last revision of curriculum has taken place very recently in August 2011. Under the new curriculum, the Department has upgraded to the system of semester-based teaching. Currently, M. Com. course run by the Department both in the Day and in the Evening Sections, offers 20 papers of 50 marks, divided equally in two academic sessions, namely, Part I and Part II. For the first time, in accordance with the requirements of semester-based teaching, each 50 mark paper will be assessed in stages: 10 marks through written Internal Assessment Test, and 40 marks, subsequently, through written end-of-session examinations.
