BBA students are required to complete a total of 40 courses in 8 semesters (4 years of 2 semesters each year) along with a 3-month Internship to earn a BBA degree.

All applicants must have completed the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) or their equivalents in any field of study. However, if an applicant has taken the O-Level examination, he or she must have passed at least five subjects (including mathematics). In case of A-Level examination, an applicant must have passed at least two subjects. It is important to note that applicants with O-level and A-level certificates must have a minimum of grade D in any subject.

The minimum qualifying point is five for all applicants. The point determination is laid out in the table below:

* Letter grades of O - Level and A - Level subjects are converted to grade points (A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, D = 1). Grade Point Average (GPA) is calculated by averaging the grade points of the five best grades for O-level and the two best grades for A-Level.

For all other certificates, equivalence will be determined by the Equivalence Committee of IBA.

All Bangladeshi applicants are required to take the admission test which is administered by IBA in Dhaka. The admission test has the following components:

The Written Test assesses the applicants’ aptitudes in Language, Mathematics, and
Analytical ability. To qualify in the Written Test, an applicant must obtain a minimum qualifying score in each of these areas.

Applicants will be selected for the Communication Test on the basis of their performances in the Written Test.

The final selection for admission will be based on scores obtained by an applicant in the Written Test and the Communication Test. Selected candidates should obtain the prescribed University admission form from the BBA Program Office and submit the completed form along with four passport-size and one stamp-size photograph and other documents as outlined in the form within the stipulated time to the BBA Program Office. Candidates who have completed the above formalities will then pay the requisite fees as determined by IBA.

Admission eligibility for a foreign applicant is the same as stated in section 8.1.2. However, a foreign applicant having a score of 1700 or more in SAT Reasoning Test (with at least 550 in Critical Reading and Math and at least 500 in Writing) may be exempted from the Written Test. Exemption decisions will be made by IBA on a case-by-case basis and exemption cases will be assessed on the basis of SAT Reasoning Test score, IBA Communication Test score, and academic references.
