Teaching combines classroom lectures with practical work such as news writing exercises, studio production, photography and a media internship. The programme is offered as a general UGC-recognised degree, open to students from any stream after Class 12.

BBA LLB is a five-year integrated undergraduate programme that combines a Bachelor of Business Administration with a Bachelor of Laws, letting students earn both degrees in five years instead of six. Open to Class 12 pass-outs from any stream, it is regulated under Bar Council of India norms for legal education and combines management subjects such as business communication, organisational behaviour, marketing and finance with core law papers including constitutional law, contracts, criminal law and company law. The programme includes moot courts, internships and legal aid clinics, and prepares graduates for careers in corporate law, compliance, legal process management and business law consulting, or further study such as an LLM.

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.

BBA + PGDM Integrated is a five-year full-time management programme that combines a three-year Bachelor of Business Administration with a two-year Post Graduate Diploma in Management at the same institute, admitting students directly after Class 12. The undergraduate stage covers core business subjects such as accounting, economics, marketing and organisational behaviour, while the postgraduate stage goes deeper into strategy, finance and a chosen specialisation, often through case studies and live projects. Students usually move from the undergraduate to the postgraduate stage without a fresh application, subject to a minimum academic standard set by the institute. The programme suits Class 12 students who are confident about a management career and want a single, continuous pathway to a postgraduate qualification.

BBA in Tourism and Hospitality Management is an undergraduate business degree that combines core management subjects with specialised tourism and hospitality training. Most universities run it as a three-year, six-semester programme, though a few offer a four-year version, and it is open to students from any stream after Class 12. The curriculum covers general management subjects such as accounting, marketing and human resources, alongside tourism operations, hotel and resort management, destination marketing and travel agency operations, along with an industry internship. This programme suits students who want a business-management foundation combined with a tourism and hospitality specialisation, useful for roles in travel companies, hotels, resorts or event and destination management.

BE + ME Dual Degree is a five-year integrated programme, regulated under AICTE and UGC norms, that combines an undergraduate engineering degree (Bachelor of Engineering) with a postgraduate specialisation (Master of Engineering) in one continuous course. 'BE' and 'ME' are the degree names used by certain universities and institutes in place of 'B.Tech' and 'M.Tech', but the structure is similar: core engineering subjects in the early years, followed by advanced, research-oriented coursework and a thesis or major project in the final year. It suits Class 12 science students with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics who want a postgraduate engineering qualification alongside their first degree, without a separate application for an ME seat later.

It covers food production, food and beverage service, front office operations, housekeeping, hotel accountancy and hospitality marketing at the undergraduate stage, followed by advanced subjects such as strategic hospitality management, research methods and a dissertation at the postgraduate stage. Extensive practical training in mock kitchens, service labs and industrial training runs throughout. The integrated format suits students who are certain about a hospitality career and want both a bachelor's and a master's degree in five years instead of the usual six.

Students can explore careers in architecture, urban planning, interior design, construction and related fields.

Bachelor of Arts (BA) is a three-year undergraduate programme in the arts and humanities, open to students from any stream after Class 12 and generally recognised under University Grants Commission norms. Spread across six semesters, it lets students choose a specialisation such as English, History, Economics, Political Science, Sociology or a language, alongside foundation courses in communication and environmental studies. The programme builds reading, writing, research and analytical skills through lectures, tutorials, seminars and project work rather than laboratory practicals. BA suits students who want a broad humanities or social science education and plan to pursue careers in teaching, civil services, media, research, law or management, or go on to a postgraduate degree in their chosen subject.

Bachelor of Arts (Hons) is an undergraduate programme in a single arts or humanities subject, offered under University Grants Commission norms and increasingly structured as a four-year programme with multiple exit options under the National Education Policy 2020, though a three-year, six-semester version is still offered by some universities. Students choose one discipline, such as English, History, Economics, Political Science or Sociology, for in-depth study, alongside foundation and skill courses, with a research project in the final year of the four-year track. It suits students who want focused expertise in one subject rather than the broader coverage of a general BA, and provides a base for postgraduate study, research, teaching, civil services or media careers.

Bachelor of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (BASLP) is an undergraduate programme, commonly structured as four years including a mandatory clinical internship, that trains students to assess and treat hearing and communication disorders. It is regulated by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI), and only RCI-recognised institutions can offer it. The curriculum covers anatomy of the ear and speech mechanism, audiology, speech and language sciences, and disorders of hearing, voice, language and fluency, combined with supervised clinical practice. BASLP suits Class 12 science students who want a clinical, patient-facing allied health career working with children and adults who have hearing or speech difficulties, in hospitals, clinics and special schools.
