ABOUT THE COLLEGE

Barrackpore Rastraguru Surendranath College, founded in 1953, is a UGC registered College [under 2f] & accredited by NAAC. A group of dedicated men, led by Dr. Satish Bose, a noted social worker, took the initiative in establishing this institution on 19 Sept. 1953 and named it after one of the most illustrious sons of Barrackpore and India. The institution initially functioned from Debiprasad High School and in 1954 was shifted to 6 Riverside Road as an institution affiliated to the University of Calcutta. In 1969, the college bought a plot of land at 85 Middle Road for further expansion. From the session 2008-09, the college is affiliated to the West Bengal State University. Over the years the college has consolidated its position as a premier institution in the state of West Bengal imparting learning in diverse areas of Humanities, Commerce and Basic Sciences. Emerging Subjects in the field of Applied Sciences such as Computer Science, Electronic Science, Micro-Biology, Psychology, Food & Nutrition are given due emphasis. The college is the first institution in the state participated in the process of re-accreditation and accredited with score 2.83 (B). In keeping with the institution’s objectives of ‘Advancement of Learning’ and ‘Need-based Higher Education and also to cope with the explosion of demand for P.G. Studies, the college started PG Course with affiliation to University of Calcutta since 2004-05 sessions. Presently it covers P.G. studies in six subjects on autonomous basis, M.Sc.

MASTER OF COMMERCE (M.Com.) (AUTONOMOUS)

OBJECTIVE

With the increasing complexities in the world of trade, industry and business, the scope of Commerce is increasing day by day. Due to globalization of almost all the restricted small national markets, business activities all over the world have been gaining rapid momentum. Commerce, as a result, has opened up new vistas of opportunities, both in industry and in Research and Academic field. In the world of Commerce, two important areas of interest – Accounting & Finance and Marketing, both of which are equally important from their context. Finance is creating an immense scope for jobs and research works due to the development of share markets, international trade, globalization of business etc. and on the other hand, with the growth of cut-throat competition in almost all spheres of life, proper marketing is perhaps one of the major keys to success. This growing importance of Marketing and Finance certainly requires considerable volume of manpower having specialised knowledge of these subjects. Keeping this in mind, our college is offering Post-Graduate courses in Commerce (M.Com) with specialization in

• ‘Accounts, Finance and Control’ • ‘Marketing Management’,

under the aegis of West Bengal State University with a greater degree of autonomy in structuring syllabi, conducting examinations and evaluations. ELIGIBILITY
