Introduction

The Government College of Management Sciences has a spacious two storey building which is six kilometer away from Mingora on the Kalam Road. The College has been constructed on a 29 kanals land. Due to the ever increasing demand for Commerce and Business Management education, this College was sanctioned by the Provincial Government in 1992. The building was completed in 1999, but regular classes at Intermediate level were started in November 2002. The College started as Government Commercial Training Institute.

In July 2006 Government Commercial Training Institute (GCTI) was upgraded to Degree level and renamed as Government College of Management Sciences (GCMS). In August 2007 Degree Classes were started both in the morning and evening shifts. In the morning shift B.Com. Classes were started, whereas B.B.A. (Honours) Classes in the evening shift. With the grace of Almighty Allah, BS(Commerce) BBA(Hons) Classes have satrted this year. For this purpose a modern and fully equipped Management Block was constructed to cater to the growing needs of the degree level students. We are not complacent. Our aims are very high. We want to make GCMS as the greatest seat of learning in the province. We have started classes for M.B.A. (3 ½ years) in 2011. This MBA programme is specially designed for in-service candidates because the classes are being arranged in the evening and thrice a week. Our first batch of MBA students has completed their degree with flying colours.

GCMS is progressing rapidly. Classes were started for D.B.A. two years programme for Matriculate students and D.I.T. one year programme for Matriculate & Intermediate passed students in second shift and EEP in 2006. Numerous students are benefiting from these programmes.

The College has a spacious Bachelor Hostel for Teaching Faculty. It provides an ideal accommodation to teachers. The atmosphere of the Hostel is so calm and serene that it is a fit place for academic research and study.

Presently, there is a hostel facility available for 48 students in the College premises. Students from far flung areas will be accommodated in this Hostel. However, we are please to announce that construction work has been completed on 100 Students’ Hostel on the campus. This Hostel will be available to the students at the start of this academic year.
