Yes, someone with an online BBA can sit for both CAT and GMAT, provided the degree is from a UGC recognized university. Top B-schools in India (like IIMs) and abroad generally accept online degrees if they are valid, and you won’t be marked down just because it’s online. What matters more is your entrance exam score, academic record, work experience, and overall profile.

Hello

Yes, someone with an online BBA can sit for both the CAT and GMAT exams—there’s no restriction as long as your degree is from a recognized university. Top B-schools in India (such as IIMs) and abroad (like those that accept GMAT) primarily consider your overall profile, academic background, work experience, and personal traits. While some traditional programs may slightly prefer full-time degrees, most now accept that online learning, especially from accredited sources is a valid and rigorous option. What matters more is how well you perform in the entrance exams and interviews, and how convincingly you present your journey.
