A Strong Foundation Building For Your Child Is A Must: Start Before It’s Too Late

BBA programs are gaining popularity today because of increased career opportunities across all domains. In its essence, BBA or Bachelor of Business Administration is a professional undergraduate degree structured to give a comprehensive understanding of businesses, build basic managerial and IT skills required in the corporate world, and hone entrepreneurial skills. However, a BBA degree also helps in inculcating communication and leadership skills in students to rise as a business professional. Through a BBA, you acquire a fair knowledge of all market aspects either locally or globally.

What kind of a BBA Specialization do you need today? 

All BBA programs are not equal. The reason for that is that BBA is offered by stand-alone institutes, colleges, and universities. The typical specializations of finance, sales, operations, HR, marketing, and even the off-beat ones like information management, supply chain management are over-subscribed and highly competitive. Moreover, the advent of AI, robotics, and the like and COVID-19 has changed the face of business altogether. What worked in the past will not work any longer. And that means, in addition to the reputation of the institute, your BBA specialization is a massive differentiating factor today! 

 Why choose a reputed university?

 Usually, a reputed university attracts good faculty and top-notch students. Such universities thrive in an environment that fosters competitiveness, unrestrained inquiry, critical thinking, innovation, and creativity. Besides, institutions that have autonomy are also more agile because they aren’t bound by clunky bureaucracies and imposed standards. As a result, they can manage their resources efficiently and quickly respond to the demands of a rapidly changing global market.

 When you choose a reputed university, therefore, you are assured of quite a few things, some being: 

  • Good faculty
  • Competitive fellow students and hence more learning 
  • Powerful global network
  • Access to relevant and updated information/knowledge
  • Plenty of projects and electives for you to explore; 
  • Opportunities for practical experience, internships, international exposure, seminars by leading corporate personnel
  • Training workshops and conferences
  • Placements with futuristic companies

 Additionally, being in a university (and not being a standalone college or institute) also ensures that you’ll study in a diverse and inclusive environment with a student population that is from different streams and different specializations. You’ll be able to work in multi-disciplinary groups and have a rich exposure.

Why choose an emerging specialization?
