Hi,
BBM, is a good course to pursue and it offers good career prospects and excellent growth opportunities, please remember the duration of BBM course is 3 years and it cannot be completed in one year.
The BBM program usually includes general business courses and advanced courses for specific concentrations.
The degree is designed to give a broad knowledge of the functional areas of a company, and their interconnection, while also allowing for specialization in a particular area.
The degree also develops the student's practical managerial skills, communication skills and business decision-making capability.
Some of the subjects covered under BBM are:
- Principles of Management.
- Business Organization.
- Marketing Management.
- Financial Management.
- Human Resource Management.
- International Business, etc.
I would suggest that once you complete your BBM, you should work for 2-3 years and then opt for MBA as it will further enhance your career prospects.
This work experience of yours would give you competitive advantage over other candidates with no work experience during MBA admission.
Finally, if you work for some years then you may yourself manage the expenses of your further studies.
Please note that, the final selection in MBA or PGDM program is made on the basis of:
1. Education background of the students.
2. Score in various management entrance tests like CAT, MAT,XAT,etc.
