The faculties of the department have experience of conducting UG study in Commerce, approved by NSOU since the course was started. The department has highly qualified (Ph.D, M.Phil, NET, CMA) faculties. Consequently, a large number of students desire to take admission to the department since its inception. Teachers of this department are committed to teach their top-of-the-line and offer high quality education to the students. Thus, the pass rate from this department has been notably high. It always stays at the rate more or less of 95%. Consequently, the students from the department pass the university exam with notable ranks. Teachers are also intensively engaged in research work and published papers in reputed journals/books on a regular basis. The department hopes to grow its national and international exposure further in the near future.
