ABOUT THE COLLEGE

Barrackpore Rastraguru Surendranath College, founded in 1953, is a UGC registered College [under 2f &12B] & Re-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 200809, 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 re-accredited with score 3.08 (A) up to June
2014. 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. (Microbiology, Computer Science, Geography & Food and
Nutrition), M.Com. (Accounts, Finance & Control and Marketing Management)
Our students have been performing brilliantly in different streams in university examinations, the success rate being nearly hundred percent
for the last few years. In keeping with its growing reputation, the college has become a favoured destination of some of the most high profile
names in the corporate world, who have been regularly conducting campus interviews. On that basis our students are regularly being recruited
by manufacturing and service providing business houses of the highest reputation. It would not be out of place to mention in this context that
the introduction of value added co-curricular activities is largely responsible for the enhanced employability of our students.
In tune with the recent development in some of the best educational institutions in the world, our college has introduced value based
education, which is a programme aimed at developing the ethical and humane potential of our students.

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

OBJECTIVE

CURRICULUM STRUCTURE

ith 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.
