About the Department

The Department of Economics started its journey in Sree Chaitanya College under Calcutta University since 1956, that is when the college was established. It was a general-course department with two whole time teachers. There are three shifts. In the morning shift only girls are admitted, in the day shift both boys and girls are admitted and in the evening shift only boys are admitted. In the year 2000, Honours course was started in the day shift only with three permanent faculty members and one-part time teacher. It is a science department. As yet there are three permanent teaching posts. From 2009 the college is under West Bengal State University. The teachers are always ready to help the students. The honours students were somewhat talented at that time and their perseverance should be admired. As a result, they secured good marks in B. Sc. degree and are gainfully employed. We feel proud of our students. Let almighty be always there with them. Our students participate in several indoor and outdoor programs of the college and often they come out with flying colours. They thereby add another feather to the success of the department.
