POST GRADUATE AND RESEARCH DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
The Department of Commerce at St. Xavier’s College enjoys a pre-eminent status for
the excellence of its teaching in this dynamic discipline. It is ranked alongside
the highly-acclaimed departments in Commerce among the undergraduate colleges of
this country. Our academic program is of the highest calibre and aims at
transforming ideas and thoughts into applications and achievements. Theprogramme is
designed to enable and empower students to acquire the necessary knowledge, skills
and abilities to analyse and synthesize the contemporary realities of the domain of
business. It encourages students to explore the world of technology and digitization
in the relevant field. Further, this course is designed to help cultivating
entrepreneurial mindset and skills. The diverse student structure together with
dedicated faculties contributes enormously to sustain the efficiency of the
Department. Apart from our committed faculty members and support staff, we are proud
of our enthusiastic, vibrant and academically brilliant students.
Simultaneously, the students are also encouraged to participate in social work and be
aware of the social realities and challenges faced by this country. Our unique and
possibly one of its kind “college to village and village to college” (’Prayas’)
project was devised to achieve this objective. Additionally, the foundation course
on inter-religious studies will surely build up the morale of the students to
mutually appreciate and respect each other.Our students fare very well in their CA,
CMA and CS examinations as well as in all the other competitive entrance
examinations like CAT, XAT, MAT, to name a few. They also actively participate in
extracurricular activities, attend various national and international fests
organized by premier institutions across the country.
Our emphasis has always been on the overall development of the students keeping in
line with our motto “Nihil Ultra”. This collaborative effort will
necessarily produce human beings for others and emerge as agents of change and
transformation for the benefit of the society.
