Guided by the college’s core values of excellence, integrity, and service, the BBA department strives to shape individuals who not only achieve professional success but also drive meaningful impact in business and society as a whole.

About the Programme

In a business world shaped by constant technological evolution spanning across the country, it is imperative to cultivate and augment management talent at all levels. To keep in step with the rapidly changing environment, every educational institution must continually redefine and innovate itself.

Within a short period, our department has established itself as a future-ready institute in undergraduate management studies. Our mission is to do more than just educate; we aim to motivate, empower and prepare students for their careers and beyond. We are focused on building versatile graduates who will confidently pursue higher studies in management to turn into effective managers handling strategic risks, or become influential teachers and researchers that contribute to the world, or take up high-level consultation roles that help businesses leverage cutting-edge management knowledge.
