Students have to take two electives each in the fifth and sixth semester to complete the required 108 credits.

Three years of full-time studies is necessary to complete the course work required for BBA (Hons.). During this period, students are not allowed to undertake any part-time employment or business of any kind, except the internship arranged through the placement office of the Institute, which is a degree requirement.

Students can carry a maximum course load of eighteen credit hours during a semester. In their last semester, however, students may be permitted to enroll for twenty-one credits if that number is required for completing the course work for the BBA (Hons.) degree.

BBA (Hons.) graduates from IBA are entitled for admission to the final year of the MBA program, provided their cumulative GPA is atleast 2.2. Deficiency in one course of BBA (Hons.) program that is not a required course of MBA 1st year is condoned, the candidates are allowed to register themselves in the MBA program. However, the BBA (Hons.) and MBA degrees are awarded only after the removal of deficiency in the BBA (Hons.) Program.

BBA (Hons.) graduates from IBA can transfer to the CCS to obtain MBA in Management Information Systems.

The entire package of three years is treated as one single academic program, and therefore no student is eligible to "pass" degree on completion of two years.

IBA retains the flexibility of making changes in the semester wise offering of the courses and course contents. In addition, to meet the needs of business and industry, IBA can replace any course or add new vocational packages.

 

Summer Internship

The IBA Placement office arranges internships for the final year MBA and BBA students during the summer holidays. The summer internship is a requisite for both the BBA and MBA degrees. The direct MBAs thus gain atleast 6 weeks of job experience while the students going through the BBA/MBA programs gain atleast 12 weeks job experience in qualifying for their degrees.

Students find the summer work experience valuable in testing out what they have learnt at IBA. It gives them practical exposure to the corporate environment and the business scenario. Students come back better equipped to appreciate the later courses in the light of the practical exposure.

Students often base their career decisions on the ‘hands on’ experience they obtain during their internship.

IBA’s internship program works as a liaison with the business and corporate sector. Interns bring useful feedback from the organizations about the quality of the interns and the course material being taught at IBA.

Besides, information is also received by faculty members from the respective supervisors of these intern. On the bases of this information, IBA designs and implements necessary changes.

Organizations find IBA interns productive in carrying out market research projects and feasibility studies besides the daily routine work. They also get an opportunity to evaluate prospective employees.
