Welcome to VIKAS COLLEGE OF ARTS, SCIENCE & COMMERCE
Vikas Night College of Commerce, founded in 1986, emerged from the socially oriented objective of the Vidya Vikas Education Society. Our mission, encapsulated in the lines “Light to those in darkness, Extending support to the helpless, Guidance to the pathless,” ignited a commitment to provide higher education opportunities to the underprivileged and working-class segments of society in Mumbai’s central suburbs.
Initially offering a Commerce program, the college soon expanded its offerings to include a BA degree. Responding to the evolving needs of the times, it further extended its scope with Science and Technology disciplines on a self-financed basis. Now, as a multidisciplinary institution, Vikas College is a Lead College of the University of Mumbai.
The ISO 9001:2015 certified educational institution currently offers a range of undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD research programs, catering to diverse career-oriented needs. Besides traditional programs in Commerce, Arts, and Science, it offers self-financed programs like B.Sc. (IT), B.Sc. (CS), B.Sc. (Biotechnology), B.Com(Management Studies), and B.Com. (Accounting and Finance). Postgraduate options include M.Com., M.Sc., and more, fostering specialisation in various fields.
The college aligns with the Central Government’s skill development initiative by offering vocational programs in Medical Laboratory Technology and Media Production. Additionally, it provides free skill-based online courses to students.
The college has a rich library collection and is also enriched with modern infrastructure like seminar halls, auditoriums, gyms, and playgrounds. This helps students with their studies and also provides them with multiple options for engaging in fun activities outside of class. Career counselling sessions and campus recruitment drives ensure students are well-prepared for their professional journey, with promising placements in leading organisations.
Aligned with NEP-2020 guidelines, the college aspires to achieve autonomy in higher education, aiming to be a proactive centre for excellence. By combining knowledge with innovation, it endeavours to nurture students from marginalised backgrounds into empowered individuals contributing to the nation and society’s development.
