Highlights of the Department

While turning our students into future economists and entrepreneurs is a priority, we find it even more important to help them grow into well-rounded individuals who use their commerce-based powers for the greater good. Here are a few ways we try:

Students are encouraged to take up final-year projects based on social causes such as women entrepreneurs, girl-child education, role of NGOs, etc.

Leadership & Presentation

Guest lectures, seminars, and group discussions are conducted regularly to train our students to be firm in their opinions and yet be able to put them across artfully.

Mid-Course Internships

Students get to work on original projects with some of the best companies. This helps them gain experience and also pads their resumes amply before they even create their first.

Young minds can be made greater by association with great minds. We ensure that our students get to interact regularly with people of great academic and professional stature in the industry.
