About the Department -

Vijaygarh Jyotish Ray College which was originally established by the people settled in Bijaygarh having ousted from East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, for bringing their children into the light of education and culture.  Hence, they pooled money from these migrated people living within the circuit of uncertainty of food, health, shelter and above all education and ultimately established this Vijaygarh Jyotish Ray College in 1950 and dedicated to the wards of the parents of the locality.

 

This College had two shifts, DAY and EVENING, under a unique body of Administration and Principal. For the purpose of catering education to the students who are mostly engaged somewhere in day time on the one and due to lack of infrastructural facilities in the day shift for conducting multiple courses of subjects, the evening shift came into force in 1960 with two undergraduate sections of B.COM. - Both Honours and General courses, and B.A. General Course in 1965.
For the purpose of ensuring better indoor management efficiently the post of Professor-in-Charge (the senior most teacher in evening section) had been sanctioned by the education department and University of Calcutta on the basis of the requisition of the Governing Body of the College. The Prof.-in-Charge of the Evening shift was authorized to do all the administrative and academic duties both inside and outside of the College in connection with the Evening shift of course under the overall supervision of the Principal.

 

Now, the Department of Commerce has been shifted to the day section for the purpose of establishing the comprehensive administration and ensuring the cost benefit. Moreover, college has been able to overcome the space constraints to some extent for conducting the classes smoothly.
