PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Swami Vivekananda profoundly stated, “Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.” Education facilitates personal growth and intellectual empowerment. The individual does not develop alone. Community society, nation and at times humanity, all benefit from education. Higher education in particular, is a key driver for economic progress and global competitiveness.

The College has a Department of Value-Added Education which offers various Certificate Courses and Counseling Sessions for CA in collaboration with various external agencies and mentorship of reputed professionals.

We adopt a holistic approach to education, offering diverse modes of learning such as industrial visits, field work, guest lectures, seminars, skill-based workshops, webinars and interactive sessions with entrepreneurs and industry experts.

In its 42 years of existence, K. C. Das Commerce College has been able to carve out a respectable niche for itself. Academic results have been very good over the years.

Com. while 100% secured first class in BBA and BCA last year. 86% of the students secured first division in Higher Secondary examinations in 2024. 155 students secured Star Marks and 28 secured distinctions. The College is equally proud of students who participated in international and national level championships or events. Our students have been our ambassadors and they are disseminating our success stories in various spheres of the society both within and across borders.

At K. C. Das Commerce College, our aim is to provide a nurturing environment that encourages students to discover and develop their inherent talents, both in academic and co-scholastic domains. Our Career Counseling Unit is dedicated to supporting students in identifying career paths and equipping them with the guidance they need to succeed. The College is also a recognized Skill Hub under PMKVY 4.0 (Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana), reinforcing our commitment to skill development and employability.

In the field of Information Technology, the College has achieved a significant degree of self-reliance. Our IT-R&D Cell actively develops and provides IT services to a number of institutions, opening up exciting opportunities for students to participate in real-world projects and innovation through our A.I. Venture Laboratory.

Stakeholders are working hard to fulfill the targets set in the Institutional Development Plan and catapult the College into a high quality multi-disciplinary institution. Recently K. C. Das Commerce College got selected for the prestigious PM-USHA (Pradhan Mantri Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan) grants of the Government of India.

Our guiding principle is "To Strive, To Seek, To Learn, and not To Yield." I extend an invitation to all brilliant minds to explore the vast opportunities that our college offers. As expressed in the ancient Vedic wisdom of the Rigveda—"Aano Bhadra Krtavo Yantu Vishwatah," meaning "Let noble thoughts come from all directions", this timeless idea reflects the infinite nature of knowledge. It is this spirit of limitless learning that we aim to foster here.

Our vision is to transform K. C. Das Commerce College into a nationally recognized institution of multidisciplinary excellence. We are committed to realizing this vision, and I warmly invite you to join us on this exciting journey as part of our TEAM.
