Santipur College is one of the pioneer institutions in imparting Commerce education in the District of Nadia. Commerce education here was introduced during the academic year 1965-66 as general course and later on Honours course in “Accountancy” has been introduced in the year 1973-74

A separate evening shift under the same administration was set up to run the commerce course to facilitate Commerce Education to the employed youths of the locality. During the stormy days of early 70’s, the evening shift has been transformed to the morning shift and it continued up to the year 2003, when it was merged to the main stream, the day shift
