BBA (Bachelor in Business Administration) has emerged as the most in-demand degree course among students who aspire to join corporate/ industry to achieve their career goals. India has witnessed a significant increase in the number of private institutions offering BBA degrees with a significant increase in the number of admissions as well during the last decade.
