Hello

This is a very unique question and infact a very important question. Lots of students tend to think BBA and BBM are generally equal. But the answer is BBA and BBM are actually different. This is the truth. I am a PhD Management and I have involved in designing curriculum materials for both these courses and it is only then I myself released they are not similar and actually both are different. I shall explain on this in detail here.

What is BBA?

BBA is abbreviated as Bachelor of business administration. The course will equip students to start a business and run it efficiently.It will further teach you on managing a business and daily administration. You will study about in depth business functions like the accounts, marketing management, finance, human resource management, business ethics, customer relationship management, entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility and many more. This course will therefore guide you to run a business as well manage the running business.

What is BBM?

BBM is abbreviated as Bachelor of business management. The course will equip you to manage existing business functions. This means you wont necessary start a business but you will be taught on managing the business only. As in the BBA course you will be taught subjects on accounts, finance, marketing management, human resource management, organisational behavior, corporate social responsibility, project management, operations management, supply chain management and so on. You will study the same modules as in the BBA except one or two modules here.

How are they different?

The only difference between the BBA and BBM is 'equipping a person to start and run a business'. If you see the abbreviation of BBA, it is administration. So this explains if you will know more on the administration side of a business if you are doing the BBA course where as you will understand about only running and managing the business if you are studying the BBM.

In sum BBA will help students to know how to start a business where as BBM will only teach on how to run an existing business.

Career opportunities with each of these course:

If you have plans to start a business after your studies, you should study BBA course but also please check if the course syllabus offers Entrepreneurship subject among one of the course modules. I have observed that lots of colleges in India offer BBA course without entrepreurship course. So please read the course syllabus before you sign up with a college. However you can also work in corporates with this BBA course.

The BBM course will usually not offer you in depth knowledge on starting a business on your own but is very suitable for working in the corporate.

BBA = starting a business / working in the corporate world

BBM = working in the corporate world.

So choosing either of one is good however it depends if you have plans in running a business or not. But as you have mentioned you would like to work in corporate, BBM is more appropriate though BBA will also equally help. Hope this helps. All the best with your admissions.
