The Department of commerce was established in 1950-51. B.Com. degree course was introduced in the year 1970. Professor B.Chengalvarayan founder H.O.D. was the chairman of the B.Com. Board of studies for 25 years. The Department is consistently producing good results for the past 10 years. Many of our students are occupying high position both in public and private sectors. Students can practice as consultants in the field of accounts and taxation. Besides they are taking up lower and middle level cadres in government and private sectors. They are also pursuing C.A. and ICWA, Courses simultaneously with ease. Many students have scored centum marks in many subjects concerned with B.Com Degree curriculum.

The success of the department comes not only from the development of faculty members, but also from the success of the students. Majority of the students enrolled here are from backward communities and poor economic status. The present intake is 140 students (two sections) and we receive more than 600 applications every year. The students are selected by strictly following the government norms through marks scored in twelfth standard. Keeping in view with the socio- economic back ground of our students sincere and serious efforts are being taken to improve the learning process of the students. Such efforts have not only produced excellent academic results but also increased their core competencies for the overall development. As a result of additional efforts of faculty members, the department is consistently producing good results over the years. Drop-out rates among the students are reduced to zero.

Our students are also pursuing CS, MBA and MCA courses with ease. Going beyond the academics, the faculty members pay special attention to the overall needs of the students who come up with a range of issues like issuing of text books. In order to make students more potential and employable, the department organize a number of field visits every year. We motivate students to prepare for appearing in competitive examinations. We encourage the students to attend inter collegiate competitions, seminars and symposiums state level and national level. Many of our successful students are occupying high positions in both public and private sectors.
