Pursuing a dual degree (like B.Tech + BBA ) simultaneously is generally not permitted under UGC (University Grants Commission) guidelines if both are full-time regular degree programs from two different universities.

Here’s the rule:

According to the UGC regulations , you can pursue two degrees simultaneously only if one is in regular mode and the other is in Open/Distance Learning (ODL) or Online mode .


What you can do:

Since you’re in B.Tech 1st year, 2nd semester , you can:

  • Continue your B.Tech in regular mode

  • Take up a BBA through Distance/Online mode from a UGC-approved university (like IGNOU, Amity Online, LPU Online, NMIMS Global, etc.)


What you cannot do:

  • You cannot do both B.Tech and BBA as regular full-time degrees at the same time.

  • You cannot be enrolled in two different regular universities for full-time courses.
