Business Management Studies

Hello Vidhisha, Good to hear that you are clear about where you want to study. Trust that you have identified the universities you want to study at and have applied for the same. If you have not been able to complete the same till now, consider completing a year or two in a good Indian university that has curriculum adopted to globally accepted standards, and then take a transfer to complete your final year in an international university abroad. As international movement is deferred and with concerns of visa, health and safety, higher education plans abroad can still be realised with a programme in IILM University. IILM's programmes are globally benchmarked to pave the way for continuing education abroad. The students can complete 6 months to 2 years at IILM and then seek a transfer to a partner university when the normalcy is restored after the Covid-19 pandemic. The international team will assist the students in transferring their credits and preparing their application to the partner university of their choice. For more details visit www.iilm.edu.in.

While taking a lateral entry, it is preferred that you choose the course that is the closest to the subjects that you already have cleared so that credits can be mapped, thereby increasing your chances of clearing the eligibility criteria. Although BBA and B.Com (Hons) are related, however BBA has a broader range of subjects vis-a-vis a B.Com (Hons) which is rather focused. Nonetheless, it is important to consider the criteria for lateral admission while applying to a particular course. IILM University Gurugram is accepting student applications under the lateral entry/migration scheme for various undergraduate programmes including BBA for the 2020-21 academic year. Under this, a student can migrate from another university in India and abroad with a partially completed programme and complete the remaining programme at IILM in order to earn the degree.
