The program provides knowledge of the business environment, analytical and operational resources required for business problem-solving.

Some of the major universities in India do not offer a specialization in BBA. The courses covered during BBA range from Basic principles of management, Marketing, Human Resource Management, Financial Accounting, Economics, Statistics and many more.
