Hello,

Yes, there are integrated BBA-MBA programs offered by IIM Indiore. These programs are designed for students who want to pursue a management education right after completing their 12th grade. The entrance exam for this is IPMAT. As for IIFT, they have their own entrance exam called IIFT Entrance Exam.

Hope this helps,

Thank you

The duration of time between the completion of your graduation and your admission to the business school will be considered as a gap year. Therefore, considering the fact that you have completed your graduation in 2023, will appear for the CAT in 2024, and get admission to an MBA college in 2025 after completion of your entire selection process, this will be considered a two-year gap.

However, there is no need to worry about this gap year as you can easily justify it during the Personal Interview process. You can justify this gap by doing Internships, Certificate courses, pursuing something related to your area of interest, or by making the interviewer realize the need to invest substantial amount of time in exam preparation. This gap year will not impact your selection chances in the business school.

Hey B schools are colleges, Universities and Institutions that offer courses and degrees in business studies. All business related colleges, universities and institutions in India apart from IIMs can therefore here be stated as the aforementioned B schools.
