GNDU is a other institute, founded in 1969. This page brings together what is on record for this course at GNDU — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most BBA/BBM programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means how organisations run: accounting, marketing, finance, human resources, operations and business communication, usually with case studies and an internship. Typical first jobs: management trainee, business development, sales, marketing or operations roles.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask GNDU for the current semester-wise plan.

The fee figures on record for this course are below. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with GNDU before you pay anything.
