Popular Courses

The college offers just two courses at the undergraduate level- B.Com and B.A. Economics, both being three year undergraduate honours programmes. For information sake, SRCC also offers postgraduates courses like M.Com, M.A. Economics and Global Business Operations (GBO).
Though there is no denying the fact that SRCC is more popular for its undergraduate course in Commerce, the Economics department too has proved its mettle by churning out several university rank-holders over the years.
