 BOARD OF STUDIES IN COMMERCE(UG)

The Postgraduate and Research Department of Commerce promotes a vibrant research culture across UG, PG, and Ph.D. levels, encouraging students and scholars to examine real-life economic, social, environmental, and business issues through field-based and action-oriented studies. Research in the department is not limited to theoretical enquiry; it is directed towards understanding local challenges, evaluating community needs, analysing policy impact, and suggesting practical solutions.

At the undergraduate level, students are encouraged to undertake small research projects and surveys that help them connect classroom learning with society and industry. These projects focus on practical and locally relevant themes such as green transportation, agriculture as a career option, perception on waste management, KSRTC budget tourism, consumer awareness, entrepreneurship, and the impact of GST on small businesses.

At the postgraduate and Ph.D. levels, the department promotes more advanced, systematic, and analytical research in areas such as behavioral finance, ESG, sustainable finance, green economy, entrepreneurship, taxation, public policy, financial behaviour, corporate governance, and responsible business practices. PG dissertations and doctoral research encourage deeper investigation using data collection, statistical analysis, interpretation, and evidence-based conclusions.

The department gives special emphasis to research that addresses real issues and generates meaningful insights for business, society, and policy. Through these studies, students and scholars are trained to think critically, work with evidence, and contribute meaningfully to sustainable development, enterprise growth, financial awareness, and inclusive economic progress.
