Department of Management Studies
About the Department
Head of Department : Prof Sunil Lalchandani
The quality of a College is measured more by the kind of students it turns out than the kind it takes in. True to these words, CHM College has been shaping successful professionals and responsible citizens for decades. Established in 1965, this time tested academic institution has been providing a stage for thousands of aspiring students to realise their potential and excel in all walks of life.
Founded in the year 1999, the Department of Management Studies has since been a centre for learning and development. It has been constantly metamorphosing itself to be at the forefront of the evolutionary academic entity on one side and skilled human resource provider to the corporate world on the other by running the course titled “Bachelor of Management Studies” (BMS) under the affiliation of the University of Mumbai.
Over the years there has been a constant endeavour by the department to encourage the studentss to raise the bar to accomplish the most ambitious of their aspirations. BMS@CHM takes great pride in the fact that our students do not look to others to demarcate the limit of their success. Instead, they turn to their own dreams and aspirations to define goals fresh – thus scaling newer summits, time and again.
BMS @CHM believes that the placements of all the students at the end of BMS programme is a natural outcome. Over the years our alumni have not only made their marks in their respective sectors and held high positions but also have effectively utilised the knowledge and culture gained, to be good professionals as well as good human beings.
As it is characteristic of every dynamic person to move forward to highest accomplishment out of inner drive, BMS@CHM has always endeavoured to ignite this drive in students and give a direction through various extra curricular activities and cultural events. These events not only give the students a platform to exhibit their talents but also an opportunity to comprehend what drives success stories.
Department has been able to manage its functions under the auspices of a well managed team comprising of Course Coordinator, Core Faculties, Visiting Faculties and Guest Lecturers.
Curricular Aspect
The Department offers the three-year Bachelors Degree in the subject of Sociology. In the first year students are introduced to approaches, values, basic concepts and principles in Sociology.

The department offers Women’s Studies as an Applied Component subject at the SYBA level, and is also involved in teaching Foundation Course at the First and Second year levels.
With a view to inform students on various dimensions of the syllabus, faculties in the department engage various pedagogical practices. Regular class room teaching is assisted by group discussion, debates, screening of documentaries and class tests. In an effort to make the learning students centric students are given assignments and projects. Study trips and field visits ensure broadening the horizons of their experiences.
