There are no particular rankings for BBA Courses at both TU Munich and LMU Munich, but the general rankings are #1 for TU Munich and #2 for LMU Munich. Ludwig Maximilian is very budget friendly because it does not charge any tuition fee whereas LMU Munich offers 8 BBA Courses while TU Munich offers only 5 BBA Courses to the Indian students with a tuition fee of INR 0-4.39 L. LMU Munich is more promising for BBA Courses.
