BBA + MBA Integrated
BBA + MBA Integrated is a five-year programme that combines a Bachelor of Business Administration with a Master of Business Administration, taken directly after Class 12 instead of applying separately for an MBA after a bachelor's degree. It is similar in structure to the integrated management programmes run by some IIMs, covering business fundamentals such as economics, accounting and communication in the early years, before moving into core and advanced management subjects such as finance, marketing, operations and strategy in the later years. Admission is usually through CUET-UG, IPMAT, JIPMAT or a university-specific test. The programme suits Class 12 students who are certain about a management career and want to avoid a second entrance exam cycle after graduation.
