B. D. College Patna was established on 10th March 1970 in the name of eminent scholar an a reacher Late Bhuvaneshwari Dayal. The Commerce Department of the College is the Founder Department of the college, established by Dr Nirmal Kumar Srivastava and initially the commerce classes were held in the evening, later on it shifted to morning classes.

Initially the ICom classes were held, then Magadh University gave affiliation to BCom Hons classes from 1977. This is the only college in Patna which teaches Two Honours Groups, Accounts Honours and Corporate Honours Group. Later on in 1990 the Department got permission from the Magadh University and the Government of Bihar to start Post Graduate courses in Commerce and MCom classes also started by the Department.

The commerce department of the B. D. College has its own distinctive identity. The department never looked back since it’s establishment in 1970. There has never been dearth of students. Always there is paucity of sanctioned seats for admission in various classes in Commerce. Previously there was 60 sanctioned seat in ICom, 120 in BCom Hons, and 22 seats in MCom. Nowadays, on students demand, excellent performance of the teacher and thought relations, result output, toppers list, and qualified senior teachers the University and the Bihar Government has increase the sanctioned seats of students in various courses of the department to 640 in ICom, 820 in BCom Hons, and 122 in MCom courses. This shows the faith and demand of students and University, Government in the College’s Commerce Department.

Not only this, in 1996 Ms Ranjana Sharma topped in MCom Magadh University, from This Commerce Department. In 2020 Miss Beauty Raj and Miss Sabiha Pravin both students of this Department stood 2nd and 5th rank in Commerce’s Bihar’s toppers list of Bihar Intermediate Council. This trends does’t stopped and in 2022 Mr Ankit Km. Gupta stood student of this

Department stood 1st rank in Commerce’s Bihar’s toppers list of Bihar Intermediate Council.

Our Faculty’s are well qualified and highly experienced senior Professor’s of the University.

They have produced many PhD scholars and presented various research papers, and attended various seminars and conferences. Namely, Dr Nirmal Km Srivastava, Prof (Dr) P. K. Agrawal, Prof (Dr) Jawahar Lal, Prof (Dr) P. K. Verma, Prof (Dr) Bijay Km. Sinha, Prof (Dr) L. B. Gupta, Prof (Dr) Sanjeev Nath, Dr Ranjana Sharma, Dr S. N. Pandey.

This department’s alumni’s list is exhaustive too. Many of them are in Nationalised and Private Banks Managers, some of them are up to DGM level now. Many of them are in Professional field like CA’s, CS’s, Income Tax, and auditors.

So, at this juncture of Commerce demand, the university and government on the students demand allowed us to start BCom Hons in Self-Financing Mode, so that no students should be deprived of commerce education, and especially to have commerce education from B. D. College’s Commerce Department.
