1976, the University of Calcutta has been inculcating the values and principles of business management, under the umbrella of the commerce department. The idea, a unique one at that time, was the brainchild of Professor Kshitimohan Mukherjee, the-then Head of the Department, a great visionary and researcher. The department started its independent journey in the year 1985 while continuing to share faculty with the parent department.
The department within a very short time made its mark in the world of business by providing high quality management education at an affordable price and at present, is regarded as one of the best post-graduate departments on Business Management both at a National as well as an International level.
