The Department of Commerce University of Gujrat has recorded consistent improvement in its academic, research and placement performance. It offers a range of innovatively designed programs whose curricula are constantly updated to meet the changing scenario of the industry and dynamic demands of major stakeholders.

We believe that our students have been well accepted in their job profiles and have consistently exceeded the expectations of the corporate sector.  

During study in the department, the students are incessantly encouraged to get hands-on experience in the corporate world through internship projects with reputed organizations. In their curriculum they are urged to take up mini projects to supplement theoretical knowledge with practical experience. They also undertake projects benefiting local industries or dealing with local problems. These projects enable them to understand the relevance of in-group work and also help them realize the significance of synergic aspects of teamwork.
