Presidency School of Commerce & Economics: Shaping Future Business Leaders

A nation’s growth is fuelled by its commerce, business, and trade—the three pillars that drive economic strength. India, which has held a prominent position on the global trade map for centuries, is now shaped into the 5th largest economy in the world, making commerce education more relevant than ever. Recognizing the importance of this field, the Indian educational system introduced the first undergraduate commerce program in 1886 at Chennai. Since then, the B.Com. degree gained popularity as being one of the most sought-after programs, attracting students aspiring for successful careers in finance, accounting, and business.

In recent decades, with evolving industry demands, colleges and universities have begun offering B.Com. programs with industry-aligned specializations. These specializations enhance students’ employability by equipping them with skills tailored to specific career paths.
