If you compare the courses of BBA and B.Sc, BBA is much more inclined towards MBA. Most of the first year basics will get covered in BBA. I guess BBA+MBA is better option if you are eyeing IIMs.

No, you can crack CAT with 99 percentile this year. Just work hard and keep practicing.

If you want to pursue MBA as your Masters, then go for BBA as your Bachelors. It'll make you ready for MBA and make your CAT preparation easier.

If MBA is ultimate aim then BBA makes total sense.
