What is the difference between BBA followed by an MBA and an integrated degree (BBA+MBA)?

The difference is that you'll have to clear a tough compititive exam to do MBA if you complete only BBA. There's also a disadvantage of doing dual course; you will not be able to exit after 3years, sit for CAT and do MBA from any of the IIMs. Well, if you are talkin about dual course from IIM-Indore then there's no need to think about a thing.

I think doing BBA than MBA will be an good option, as you can explore two different colleges. You have a choice to change your field after your graduation.

Difference between two: 1. Core topics Candidates pursuing five-year integrated BBA + MBA have a certain advantage in terms of syllabus. In the five-year programme, no courses or subjects will be repeated. In case of pursuing MBA after BBA, candidates will have to repeat courses. In an MBA programme, candidates come from various backgrounds. 2. Different institutes Post a BBA degree, candidates can opt to select a different university or B-school for their management education. However, students pursuing five-year integrated BBA + MBA programme have no such option. 3. Entrance tests In case of integrated BBA + MBA, candidates have to appear for entrance exam / selection procedure just once. However in case of separate degrees, candidates have to undergo admission and selection procedure twice. In the latter situation, candidates generally opt for exam such as CAT, XAT, SNAP, NMAT etc. 4. Work-experience Candidates willing to get some work experience before pursuing post-graduation should ideally opt for separate BBA and MBA degrees. In an integrated BBA + MBA dual degree, candidates don’t have the option of working after a three years.

An Integrated degree will give you two degrees i.e, BBA and MBA from the same university/college/institution. Whereas, a non-integrated will have separate courses on BBA and MBA.
