While courses like engineering, medicine, commerce, law, hospitality management have been most sought-after programs after Class 12, undergraduate management programs like BBA also present lucrative career options in the world of business and corporate management. In this post, we will look at the career scopes of BBA after 12th, BBA in India vs BBA Abroad, and SP Jain Global BBA program. Additionally, we will also have a tête-à-tête the Undergraduate Recruitment Team of SP Jain School of Global Management
BBA after 12th
BBA is a professional course, and it is offered at few universities and of these, only a handful of colleges/institutes offer a quality course. Choosing the right institute is key to landing up in a good job.
The main idea of BBA is to equip a student who can work in the industry and carry out all the managerial operations of the organization. Moreover, a BBA graduate will work in order to maximize the team efficiency of the system by applying the knowledge of commerce that he or she has taken during the study years of BBA.
According to a 2014 study performed by USA Today, bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration and Management (BBA) rank as the most popular among American undergraduate students. Another study in 2016, performed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers revealed that college graduates with broad majors are likely to earn more than those with specialized ones at the undergraduate level. The report further stated that the average salary for business degree recipients gaining jobs just after graduation totaled $52,236, higher than their calculated average of $50,556 across ten general fields.
Ideal BBA Course Curriculum
BBA curriculums are designed after consultation with representatives from leading organizations, ensuring the students graduate with an industry-relevant degree.
A good BBA program involves practical experience, internships, international exposure, seminars by leading corporate personnel etc. Students are also encouraged to attend leadership training workshops and conferences; including, but not limited to, public speaking, group dynamics, and problem-solving, and evaluating techniques. These skills not only help you to get a good job but also help you in getting selected at a top business school for MBA.
Advantages of Pursuing BBA after 12th
BBA offers a comprehensive understanding of business environment and management functions. It also helps a student to learn leadership qualities and develops their problem-solving abilities which are much required in today’s competitive and global business environment. More importantly, it develops a management focused approach from the very beginning. Read why BBA is a great choice at the UG level.
BBA graduates can seek out for employment in share trading, business corporations, industries, print media, IT industry, and public sector and so on. The main advantage of the BBA program is that aspirants can pursue the MBA program after completing the same. They can specialize in their desired disciplines while pursuing the MBA program.

If you are very sure that your personality, aptitude & signature strengths match to the management study only, your goal is to get into the management career, then BBA would be the best choice for you.
BBA in India vs BBA Abroad
Well, I won’t spend too much on this issue. I would suggest all the readers have a look at Undergraduate Studies in India vs Abroad (US, Canada, Singapore & Hong Kong). However, I would like to mention one point that the majority of the BBA programs in India are 3-year programs. Most of the top foreign universities (especially in the US & Canada) ask for a 4-year Bachelor degree. So, if you wish to go for Masters Programs (MS or MBA) at the top business schools, a 4-year BBA program will be more suitable for you.
Now, let’s jump into our second focus of this post – BBA program at SP Jain School of Global Management.
