Govindram Seksaria College of Commerce and Economics, Nagpur was established in 1945 by Shiksha Mandal, Wardha to fulfill the requirement of Commerce education in the region during the pre-Independence period. It is the first Commerce College in the city of Nagpur and only the second in Nagpur University: the first being G. S. College of Commerce, Wardha. Having been set on course by such noted Gandhians and freedom fighters as Shri Jamnalal Bajaj and Shri Krishndas Jajoo, who founded Shiksha Mandal, the college continued to receive patronage by Seth Govindaram Seksaria, Shri Kamlnayanji Bajaj, Shri Ramkrishnaji Bajaj and host of other noble souls who shaped our existence from time to time.
Today, G. S. College of Commerce and Economics, Nagpur has carved a niche for itself as premier Commerce College in the country and is known for its high academic standards, qualitative growth and ethical practices under the dynamic leadership of Shri Rahul Bajaj, President of Shiksha Mandal, Wardha, who has always inspired our ceaseless pursuit of excellence. Reaccredited with ‘A’ grade by NAAC (National Assessment & Accreditation Council, Bangalore), in 2016, the college today stands tall as the first Autonomous Commerce College in the RTM Nagpur University.
G. S. College of Commerce and Economics, Nagpur was essentially conceived as a specialized Commerce College and today it is justifying its genesis through the successful implementation of both under-graduate and post-graduate courses in Commerce and Management streams. We also have a Junior College for Commerce and Vocational Education. In addition, we offer over a dozen complementary certificate courses as value addition to our regular courses. Moreover, under Autonomy more UG/PG/Certificate courses will be introduced in near future to offer more horizontal and vertical mobility to students and to add to their competencies.
Efforts by a team of well-qualified teachers and researchers, and the right combination of curricular, co- curricular and extra-curricular activities have ensured that our students emerge as not only competent professionals but also good citizens. The overall quality of our student product can be gauged by our illustrious alumni profile. Our students are doing well in all walks of life. We are very happy to share with you that a large number of Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, entrepreneurs and professionals in this part of the world are our alumni.
‘Shiksha Mandal’ , already a recipient of RTM Nagpur University’s inaugural “Ideal Educational Institute Award”, celebrated 2014-15 as its centenary year and all the colleges run by it started a slew of new programmes and activities to commemorate the occasion. The year saw the introduction of new educational programmes, organization of national level conferences and seminars, new technology to transact the various syllabi etc. to set the tone for the next century.
