It is a rigorous management program that has a combined course of science, social science, and management studies at the UG level and specialized management courses at the PG level.
The program has been designed and divided into two distinct stages: The initial three years for the BBA Program and the last two years for the MBA program. There will be multiple exits and one sabbatical option available for the students. This program has been strategically designed to provide an opportunity to the students to exit from the program after completing each year up to the 3rd year as per the provision in the New Education Policy 2020.
Exit from the program after successful completion of the first year entitles the student to the “Certificate in Basics of Management” and “Diploma in Management” will be awarded on the exit after successful completion of the second year while as “Bachelors of Business Administration” will be awarded after the successful completion of the third year. Students who score a CGPA of 6.00+ can continue into the MBA, 2-year program, also.
