Shri Ram College of Commerce

What Shri Ram College of Commerce does

Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC) is a constituent college of the University of Delhi, founded in 1926 by Sir Shri Ram through the Commercial Education Trust and located on the University of Delhi's North Campus at Maurice Nagar, Delhi. It is a publicly-funded higher education institution serving over 3,000 students across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, with 80+ faculty members. The college is governed by a Governing Body chaired by Ajay S. Shriram (Chairman since 2005) and currently led by Principal Simrit Kaur (15th Principal, since September 2017). SRCC is consistently ranked India's #1 college for commerce by India Today, Week Hansa, and Outlook ICare surveys, holds NAAC A++ accreditation (CGPA 3.75, 2023), and is designated as a National Resource Centre by the Ministry of Education.

The academic portfolio comprises two flagship undergraduate honours degrees (B.Com Honours and B.A. Economics Honours), two postgraduate degrees (M.Com and M.A. Economics delivered in collaboration with Delhi School of Economics), and the self-financed two-year Post Graduate Diploma in Global Business Operations (PGDGBO), which is being upgraded to a full master's degree. Value-added courses are delivered through partnerships with BSE Institute (Business Analytics using R), CIMA-AICPA (Data Analytics with R), Coursera, DSLSA (Legal Literacy), and the University of Delhi's Department of Germanic and Romance Studies (French). Supporting infrastructure includes a library with over 80,000 books, ICT-enabled air-conditioned classrooms with Wi-Fi, the SmartProf digital portal and mobile application, the Business Analyst research journal (since 1968), the student research journal Strides (since 2017), and an e-merchandise store launched in October 2025 in collaboration with Unistreet.

The business model is anchored on government funding channeled through the University of Delhi for core academic programmes, supplemented by tuition-equivalent fees from the self-financed PGDGBO programme, nominal fees for value-added courses (with a 50% Merit-cum-Need scholarship covering 10% of each batch), and a nascent e-commerce revenue stream from the merchandise store. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. The placement-driven value chain is powered by sustained relationships with top-tier recruiters including McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Goldman Sachs, and Deloitte, which hire graduates at starting salaries of ₹5-12 lakh annually. As a publicly-funded educational trust entity, SRCC is not a venture-stage investment target; its growth levers are programme expansion, regulatory accreditation, and brand monetisation rather than equity-backed scaling.
