Faculty of Commerce and Management Kumaun University, Nainital.

The Faculty of Commerce at the D.S.B. Campus of Kumaun University was established in 1960. At the time of inception , this faculty was in the DSB Government College affiliated to the Agra University. This was a pioneering moment in the history of the University as it reflected the foresightedness that career options would also be in fields other than the traditional areas of medicine and engineering. It was with this belief that the Department of Commerce initiated the first B.Com session in 1960-61. The encouraging response and the extra-ordinary results of the first B.Com batch of 1960-61 goaded the Faculty to introduce Commerce at the Post-graduation level from 1965-66. With this mile-stone having been achieved the Department of Commerce carved out an unparalleled history of growth and academic excellence making Commerce as one of the most sought after course attracting meritorious students. Due to a surge in enrollments a separate building was constructed for the Department at Nainital in 1974. With the coming of the IT era and increasing applications of computers in commerce a modern computer lab has been established in the building to train students in the current techniques. The Department of Management Studies at Bhimtal was established in 1997 enhancing the coverage to management and the evolution of Faculty of Commerce and Management. This ability to adapt and evolve is a unique characteristic of this faculty. After the formation of Kumaun University it was felt that Commerce education needed to be further extended in terms of coverage. Towards this objective, a Department of Commerce was also established in the SSJ Campus, Almora of Kumaun University in 1977. The Department of Commerce at SSJ Campus, Almora also achieved an impressive track record of achievements. Having Commerce introduced at PG level, the Department started offering BBA in 2007. From the 2010 session MBA shall also be offered at Almora. Both the BBA and MBA are conducted on a self-financing basis.
