If you are sure pursue MBA after BBA then integrated is not Bad. But change is needed so MBA and BBA separately is also advisable at times.

No, you don't need to pursue any integrated programme but whatever we are learning that will help us in our future studies or in job. There are some good distance learning BBA programmes which are offered by various good universities.

I don't think integrated programme is a good option. A person should go for an individual course. After completing an individual course, a candidate will have plethora of options.
