    Yes. Not sure if you are asking this question in relation to a specific course at a particular college. But in general, anyone is eligible to apply for MBA as long as you have an undergraduate degree. Typically, the specialisation starts in the second year. Since you may not have a background in finance and accounting, you may need to put extra effort in the finance subjects in the first year of MBA or in case you choose a finance specialization. With the BA course, you need to prefer some of the specialization as compared to others as that would make it easier for you to utilize and perform in your MBA course.

    Yes, for sure! Bachelor in arts is a recognized undergraduate degree and for pursuing an MBA programme you have to be undergraduate with a minimum percentage. Almost every college except for some demands some specific degree but not everyone. They will give you admission after qualifying the process like:

    MBA in Supply chain management
    MBA in Healthcare Management
    MBA in Sales& Marketing
    MBA in Retail Management
    MBA General Management
    These is the list of programmes which a BA graduate can pursue and there is no discrimination as well in this traditional and demanding program.

    Hi,
    Yes, a BA graduate can also go for MBA as the basic eligibility requirement is one must have at least 50% in graduation (60% for few colleges). What you all need to do is fill-up the entrance exam forms, study hard and go for it.
