About City College of Commerce & Business Administration
You need to know up front that this is an evening-only college. If you are looking for a traditional daytime schedule on a sprawling green field, skip this page. Classes run from late afternoon into the night because the entire system is built for students who work jobs or study for professional CA exams during the day. The Surya Sen Street premises are shared with other sister institutions, meaning space is strictly managed but the trade-off is an academic rhythm that respects your daytime commitments.
