Yes — Swami Vivekanand Subharti University (SVSU), Meerut offers a full‑time, offline undergraduate degree in Management and Business Administration, including BBA programs. However, a dedicated BMS (Bachelor of Management Studies) programme is not listed among its regular on‑campus offerings; instead, students typically pursue BBA with specializations.

 UG Management Programs at SVSU (Offline, Full‑Time)

• BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration)

  • Duration: 3 years (full‑time, regular mode).
  • Specializations: Finance, Marketing, HR, International Business, Hospital Administration, etc.
  • Eligibility: 10+2 with minimum 45–50% marks.
  • Admission: Through CUET UG or university merit.

• Other UG Management Options:

  • B.Com (Hons) with management electives.
  • Integrated programs (e.g., BBA + MBA pathways).

 Key Notes

• No standalone BMS program is listed in SVSU's official full‑time course catalog.
• Students interested in management studies at SVSU typically enroll in BBA, which covers similar subjects to BMS (finance, marketing, organizational behavior, business law, etc.).
• SVSU also runs distance/online programs via its Centre for Distance and Online Education, but those are separate from the offline full‑time degrees. 

 Takeaway

• Offline, full‑time UG management education at SVSU = BBA, not BMS.
• If you are specifically looking for BMS (Bachelor of Management Studies), universities like Mumbai University, St. Xavier's College, and HR College of Commerce & Economics (Mumbai) are better known for offering BMS as a distinct program.
• At SVSU, the BBA programme serves as the equivalent pathway for students aiming at careers in management, finance, or business analytics.
