Commerce education in Himachal Pradesh has become one of the most demanding and most preferred streams by the students due to diversified nature of jobs in different government and private organizations. The Department of Commerce started functioning as an independent integral component of the University since 1991 under the Faculty of Commerce and Management. Earlier, both commerce and management courses were under a single department. Commerce department is offering Post Graduate Courses of M.Com and Ph.D. The department is playing an instrumental role in formulating academic inputs for the Under Graduate as well as Post graduate courses of Commerce which are running under Himachal Pradesh University. The examination pattern of the courses of the Department of Commerce is Semester System. The Commerce Department has excellent team of teaching faculty including well experienced professors to teach, guide and take research initiatives.
Presently teaching faculty of the Department of Commerce are:
- Professor Devinder Sharma (Chairman)
- Professor Vijay Kumar Sharma
- Professor S.S. Narta
- Professor O.P. Verma
- Professor Kulbhushan Chandel

To make students conversant with technology needed in the contemporary regime, computer related subjects are incorporated and updated with the technological usages. For teaching and practical application of subjects requiring specialized skill, the visiting faculty is also engaged time to time. In addition, resource persons from the other universities, institutions and industry are invited to deliver special lectures. Emphasis is drawn upon development of personality of students by providing them different kinds of exposure particularly keeping in view the rural background of the students who have come to the University after seeking education from different colleges of the State and also from other states. In this regard, special provision is made in the academic calendars to ensure involvement of students in different activities. The initiatives on development of personalities are in accordance to the reality of conditions of the State where students from far- off villages come to the educational institutions facing strides and challenges like communicational barriers and inability to deal with spontaneous situations as well as in-capabilities of managerial skills. It is though a challenging task yet congenial environment is provided.
The students and research scholars are encouraged to participate and represent in the conferences and seminars. The class room teaching invokes to provide exposure opportunities and to involve students in preparation of assignments preparation and then after, presentations individually as well as in groups. They are encouraged to use library and to compete in different competitive examinations. Undoubtedly, the department has achieved a tremendous success in this direction. The Department is known for producing more and more number of JRFs and NET qualified candidates. The teaching faculty is always involved in the teaching, research, extension, and other academic as well as co-curricular activities and the outcome of it is that the department is working very smoothly with integration and discipline. Research Projects are being pursued by the students with the consultation of the experienced teaching faculty members. The department not only encourages but actively involves in using innovative techniques. We have a separate computer lab where research scholars and other students frequently come, sit and use the computers for their academic pursuits. The department has the exclusive Conference Room where nearly 30 persons can sit and discuss. Research scholars have to involve in research presentations.
