BBA Eligibility

Eligibility Criteria: Candidates should have passed the 10+2 exams from a recognised education board by the university to which they are applying. The general category aspirants should have scored a minimum of 50% marks as an eligibility condition for the BBA entrance exam while the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe candidates should have a score of 45% at least. Those students who have passed the 10+2 exams and the students with their 10+2 results awaited are also eligible for the BBA entrance exam. NRI students who have passed their 10+2 exams or equivalent from foreign nations and are recognizable in India are also eligible for the BBA entrance exam. For most colleges, the upper age limit for the BBA should not be more than 20 years, and for the reserved category, it is relaxed by 2 years. However, in some of the BBA colleges, no upper age limit is defined.

IIM Calcutta offers a 5-year Integrated programme in Management (IPM), which combines both BBA and MBA degrees. To be eligible for admission to this programme, you must fulfill the following criteria:
Age Limit: You should not be more than 20 years of age as on July 31st of the year of admission. For the 2023-2024 academic year, you should be born on or after August 1st, 2003. Educational Qualification: You must have passed your Class 12th examination or equivalent with at least 60% marks (55% for SC/ST/PWD candidates) in aggregate. Students who are due to appear for their Class 12th examination in the current year are also eligible to apply, subject to fulfilling the eligibility criteria at the time of admission. Admission Test: You must have a valid score in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) conducted by the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). For the 2023-2024 academic year, you must have appeared for JEE Main 2023 and JEE Advanced 2023. Note that fulfilling the above eligibility criteria does not guarantee admission to the IPM programme at IIM Calcutta. The selection process includes a written test, Personal Interview and other criteria such as academic performance, extra-curricular activities, and work experience (if any).

If you have applied for both BBA and B.Sc Economics programs and there is a common entrance exam (SET), then your admission will be based on your performance in the SET exam.
After the SET exam, the participating colleges will release their cutoff scores for each program. If you have scored above the cutoff score for a particular program, you will be eligible for admission to that program.
It is possible that you may be eligible for admission to both the BBA and B.Sc Economics programs if you have scored above the cutoff scores for both the programs. However, you will have to choose which program you want to take admission in, based on your preference and the availability of seats.
