Top 40 Commerce Colleges in India - 2018

As the demand for command for commerce graduates and postgraduates is increasing, so is the competition between university to produce the best. Read about the top 40!

By Shatavisha Chakravorty

What sets human beings apart from that of other lower animals is the fact that we know how to collaborate with each other. While some of these collaborations are physical in nature (it is in this context things like traditional gender roles come into the picture), others are emotional. But if we look at this from a sociological perspective, we will see that there is a huge amount of materialistic dependency amongst us human beings as well.

 

The nature of this materialistic dependency is something that has changed over the years. This change has been guided by a lot of factors (including the dynamic nature of currency and the role of technology in it).

All of this has cumulatively put a lot of pressure on the world of commerce, making it one of the most sought-after fields of study in the country. Because of the need for commerce graduates and postgraduates in almost all walks of life, there is immense completion amongst the students to make their way into the top colleges of the country.

This is the reason why, amongst all the fields of study, commerce is where students have the most cut-throat competition in terms of marks. With so much competition on the cards for the students, it is inevitable that the colleges also compete with each other to make their way to the top. Here is a carefully formulated list of the top 40 commerce colleges of the country.
