HOD's Message

I welcome you to the department of commerce (post graduate). A department which is deeply concerned about what happens in an organization. Be it valuation, transactions, taxations, auditing, controls, regularities, we equip students to get a hands-on-experience on that. Hence, if you are interested to pursue your academics and make a mark, I invite you to this rich experience. We value knowledge and skills. Apart from these, we value attitude. A right attitude sets the tone for a rich career life. Our recruiters are pleased not only with the skills they hold, but also the right attitude that our students put forward in their career.

Our department does not restrict it’s students to pursue a corporate career alone, but it prepares young youths to dream about being a teacher, entrepreneur and freelancer as well. I have heard stories of alumni that have been transformed. That timid, boring and introvert students have now blossomed into energetic and self-driven corporate professionals, who are the face of a team. Our activities have invisibly done the magic and it still lingers on them. The feeling to give back something to the society and the willingness to care for others have also been passed down as a baton from former to the current batch as well. Our hospitality is a sign of that.

Am proud to say that the department has a faculty that is down to earth and willing to travel the extra mile. Armed with the doctoral degree, they push the frontiers of research. They are often consulted for their expertise by the academia and the industry. The teachers have set an example and have been the role model for the students. They are in constant touch with the students. They are mentors, guides and a good well wisher from the time a student enters the hallowed portals of Kristu Jayanti.

I invite you students. I invite you parents. I invite you the industry professionals to come visit us. Experience the positive vibe and leave enthralled with the satisfaction of having earned not just a degree, but a rich irreplaceable experience.
