Now the final choice is yours. Choose the institute which is more feasible for you.

I have a friend who is an alumnus of the Symbiosis Pune BBA program and he vouches for the course. As far as the BBA program is concerned Symbiosis will offer great learning opportunities.

However, having the brand name of IIM in your resume can definitely be of advantage, so if you are getting IPM at IIM Rohtak, go for it. Other than IIM Rohtak, Symbiosis and Shaheed Sukhdev are also great alternatives for your BBA.

We can conclude that having a brand name IIM is a huge benefit for you, so if you can make it to the integrated course at IIM then always go for that otherwise the above-mentioned colleges are also good for pursuing BBA.
