BBA VS INTEGRATED MBA

Have questions regarding the difference between BBA and Five-year integrated BBA + MBA course? Read this article below to clarify all your doubts.

Professional degrees such as Bachelors of Business Administration (BBA) and Bachelors of Business Studies (BBS) are popular choice of courses for students looking at professional degrees at undergraduate level. These courses address the core functions of business such as finance, strategy, decision, etc. The degree also focuses on managerial skills, team skills and communication skills.

All these above-listed functions and skills form the basics of postgraduate level management courses such as Masters of Business Administration (MBA). Therefore, pursuing MBA after the BBA degree is a natural course of action for many students. MBA also happens to be one of the most sought after postgraduate degrees across the world. MBA degrees from top business schools guarantee accelerated career growth, wide network and good remuneration. As a result, various colleges and business schools are providing five-year integrated MBA degrees. Such integrated dual degree courses can benefit the students in various ways.

Now the question that arises is; What is the difference between a five-year integrated BBA + MBA degree and pursuing BBA degree followed by MBA (separate UG and PG degree)? We spoke to some experts to find out what are the main differences between the two options. Candidates can read this article below to know more.

Difference between Five-year integrated BBA + MBA course and BBA course followed by MBA

1. Core Topics

Candidates pursuing a five-year integrated MBA degree have a certain advantage in terms of the syllabus. In the five-year programme, no courses or subjects will be repeated. Candidates will progress to advanced levels of management education after two years. In case of pursuing MBA after BBA, candidates will have to repeat courses. In an MBA programme, candidates come from various backgrounds. Candidates with BBA / BBS degrees will have to repeat core subjects.

2. Different Institutes

Post a BBA degree, candidates can opt to select a different university or B-school for their management education. However, students pursuing five-year integrated BBA + MBA programme have no such option. Many students prefer to pursue MBA courses from premier B-schools such as Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs) or other top MBA colleges. Pursuing a separate MBA degree helps candidates be a part of two institutions. Alternately, in a five-year integrated MBA programme, candidates don’t have the option of changing institutes.

3. Entrance tests

In the case of Integrated MBA degree, candidates have to appear for an entrance exam/selection procedure just once. However, in the case of separate degrees, candidates have to undergo admission and selection procedure twice. In the latter situation, candidates generally opt for exams such as CAT, XAT, SNAP, NMAT etc.

4. Work Experience

Candidates willing to get some work experience before pursuing post-graduation should ideally opt for separate BBA and MBA degrees. In an integrated BBA + MBA dual degree, candidates don’t have the option of working after completion of a three-year degree.

5. Course Fee

The course fee of Integrated MBA is more than BBA and MBA programmes, as the institute's expenditure on the student is for five continuous years. Therefore, for many students, Integrated BBA will be more expensive than a three year BBA programme.
