ABOUT GUJARAT COMMERCE COLLEGE
Gujarat Commerce College, one of the oldest and most historically significant
institutions in Gujarat, played a vibrant role during India's struggle for
independence. Established in 1860 by British colonizers, its patron was the
esteemed Indian Sir Chinubhai Baronet. The college's rich history is evident in its
historic buildings and the ambiance across its campus, now managed by the
Government of Gujarat.
The Commerce Department at Gujarat College, initiated by Prin. Dr. B.C. Desai in
the 1981-82 academic year, led to the creation of Gujarat Commerce College,
officially established on June 30, 1993, following a separation from the parent
institute. Initially, 250 students were enrolled. The college was inaugurated on July
15, 1993, and began offering English medium classes in 1996 to meet the growing
demand for English education.
Gujarat Commerce College is distinguished by its commitment to providing equal
opportunities for student growth, with enrollment increasing from 250 in 1981-82
to 3,000 in 2016-17. To accommodate this growth, a new building was constructed
with government approval, measuring 9,410 square meters and featuring a 1,510
square meter parking area. The new building, operational since October 2009,
includes modern facilities such as a Digital English Language Laboratory, a Tally
Laboratory, and a Scope center, in addition to basic amenities. The college is
dedicated to delivering quality education and preparing students to become
responsible citizens in today's challenging world.
In addition to its undergraduate programs, Gujarat Commerce College established
a Post-Graduate Center for M. Com in the 2014-15 academic year, initially
enrolling 200 students.
