It is one of the premier institutions to impart & provide a platform in the field of higher education for the deserving candidates and prove to be a milestone in the path of progress.

It is re-accredited by National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) with "A" Grade with CGPA Score of 3.21 on a 4 point scale in the year 2011.

The college owes its inception to the magnanimous initiative of Late Rev. Can. Jose Roberto Vaz, who was then the Parish Priest of Rosary Church. The college is managed by the Diocesan Society of Education and is a minority institution under article 30(1) of the Indian Constitution.

Rosary College has been built by the Fabrica of Nossa Senhora do Rosario, Navelim, almost entirely with the proceeds of the sale of properties belonging to the Fabrica, Confraria de Nossa Senhora do Rosario and Confraria do Santissimo Sacramento.

The college has made strident progress in the last 23 years and very recently a new, fully independent and self-sufficient wing has been constructed due to the initiative of the present Principal Rev. Dr. Simao R. Diniz.

The new wing, which became fully functional from the academic year 2012-13, was constructed on account of a gamut of new courses introduced to keep pace with the burgeoning requirements of the industry.

Rosary College of Commerce and Arts has helped many students live their dreams! Right from its genesis, Rosary College has constantly endeavored to reach the acme against all odds and this is what positions it in a league of its own and makes it a true harbinger of positive change in society.
