BBA is a three-year undergraduate management degree. It suits students who know early that they want a business career, and it builds a genuinely useful base — accounting, marketing, organisational behaviour and business law — before an MBA or a first corporate role.
Most colleges admit on Class 12 marks; the better-known ones run their own aptitude test or interview. Because the entry bar is lower than engineering or medicine, the quality gap between BBA colleges is wide, and checking placement reality matters more here than almost anywhere else.
