Department of Commerce (Finance)

The Department of Commerce (Finance) at Malabar Christian College, Kozhikode, was established with the vision of fostering academic excellence and professional competence in the field of commerce. The first batch of B.Com (Finance) commenced on 11 November 2013, and since then the department has grown into a vibrant academic unit. Over the years, nine batches of students (2013–16 to 2021–24) have successfully completed the programme, with alumni excelling in banking, accounting, entrepreneurship, higher education, and other professional sectors.

The department currently offers a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance) programme under both the Choice Based Credit and Semester System (CBCSS) and the Four-Year Undergraduate Programme (FYUGP) introduced as part of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

The curriculum combines strong theoretical foundations with practical training in financial management, accounting, taxation, business analytics, entrepreneurship, and related areas. Students are encouraged to develop analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and professional competencies that meet contemporary industry requirements.
