The route in numbers
| Route | Years | Lowest total | Against the BBA route |
|---|---|---|---|
| BBA, then MBA | 3 + 2 | ₹1,35,000 | — |
| BA, then MBA | 3 + 2 | ₹1,05,500 | ₹29,500 less |
| B.Com, then MBA | 3 + 2 | ₹1,05,500 | ₹29,500 less |
“Lowest total” uses each programme's cheapest published plan: paying once for the BBA and MBA, and year by year for the BA and B.Com, which have no pay-once option.
What the BBA adds before the MBA
The BBA spends three years on the working parts of a business — management, accounting, marketing, people and operations — so the MBA that follows builds on subjects you already know instead of meeting them cold.
It also lets you work in a business role between the two degrees with a management qualification already in hand.
When a BA or B.Com is the better first degree
If you are certain of the MBA and want the total down, a BA or B.Com reaches the same MBA for ₹29,500 less. Choose the B.Com if accounts or finance appeal — it needs Commerce in class 12 — and the BA if you want subjects such as economics or political science, or a graduation that also suits public examinations.
Timing: the final-semester rule
Subharti's MBA accepts students in their final semester, so a BBA student can apply for the MBA during their last semester rather than waiting a full cycle — subject to the university's rules for that session.
Independent comparison. MBAIndia.org is not the university. Ask for a call back and you will speak with IICT or IIPM in Lucknow, which help students through admission to Subharti University's distance programmes. Figures follow the current fee card; confirm them for your session.
