Hello student


I am a Doctorate in Management and to be honest with your question, BBA and BBM are almost 99% the same in India. BBA stands for bachelor of business administration where as BBM stands for bachelor of business management. If you find the syllabus of both these degrees they are almost the same in principle. Indian institutions have renamed certain degrees as per their convenience and with this respect BBA has been new fashioned to BBM and there is not much difference between the two. But to also alert you, with the case of foreign universities it is entirely different. I am lecturing under graduate students in the UK Universities and having been through the syllabus, the only difference I have found between BBA and BBAM is, BBA is business oriented which also includes entrepreneurship where as BBM is corporate management oriented. To be more clear, BBA students studying abroad will understand how to start a own business and run effectively where as BBM students are fit to manage effectively an already established business. But with case of India, there is no such difference with the syllabus between these two degrees.
So feel free to study either BBA or BBM.

The only two things that I would advice you to take into account are:
1. Select the appropriate university that offers a good BBA/ BBM program.
You need to carefully select the university that you wish to study. Please find if there are any business schools in your region that also offers under graduate programs. I would like to mention and highlight that studying at a business school will be of more help rather studying at a university that runs all programs. Also try finding out the business schools that are very good in placements, faculty research and alumni success.

2. Select the right elective as part of this business degree.
Many students struggle to find the right elective that suits them the best. I have always seen girls blindly choosing human resource management where as boys often choosing marketing. there are many other specialisations as part of your BBA/ BBM program like the accounts, finance, supply chain management, organisational behavior, systems management, production management, manufacturing management, information management, business analytics and many more. Try to do a specialisation that matches your skill set. If you are a people person then HRM, Organisation behaviour will help. If you would like to work for the IT industry and have studied computer science at HSC level then information management or systems management will suit you. Like wise try analysing your needs, future career interest and select the right specialisation. Hope this helps. My best wishes to you. Good luck.
