[edit] History

The faculty University of the Punjab first recommended the creation of a degree-conferring commerce program in 1922, and the 1923 establishment of the Northern India Chamber of Commerce at Lahore generated an increased need in the region for commerce graduates. Sir Ganga Ram donated Nabha House, his residential facility situated opposite the grounds of the University and proximate to The Mall, for the exclusive use of a college of commerce, and construction was completed in 1927; the institution began instruction later that year and was chartered to provide sound education and training in commerce. The college relocated upon the expansion of the University and was officially opened on the University's new campus on January 1, 1981.
