BBA đť’ŠConnect 2025-27

The ITM BBA 𝒊Connect is a 3-year, full-time program (with an optional 4th year to obtain a BBA Honors degree) rooted in practical, hands-on learning. Unlike the traditional BBA focused on theoretical learning in the classroom, this program is hands-on, with a strong emphasis on industry connect and experiential learning.

You will not be evaluated on written exams but based on your performance in both your internships, the capstone project, your participation in industrial industry visits in Singapore and Dubai, the application of your knowledge in case studies and your overall readiness to face the real world.

Say goodbye to traditional rote learning! Your progress will be measured through real-world achievements like internships, live projects, industry interactions, and problem-solving challenges. Every experience sharpens your critical thinking, decision-making, and adaptability, preparing you to excel in dynamic business environments.

Entrepreneurship as a career option

On-campus start-up incubator

Not everyone wants to take up a job at the end of the program. Some want to build their start-up! Our On-Campus Start-Up Incubator provides students with access to resources to develop their start-up ideas. Students may opt to work on their start-up idea instead of taking up the 5-month internship. ITM has a vast array of talent in Tech, Design, Finance and supply chain fields among others, and Incubatees will have access to their time and knowledge.

Events such as hackathons, industry masterclasses, business conferences, start-up boot camps, and yatras ensure that ideas grow beyond a business plan and feasibility study into an actual start-up.

Incubation process

Idea

Interested students develop an idea for a product or service and document it.

Pitch

Ideas are developed into a business plan and presented to an internal committee. If the idea has merit and is selected, it moves to the next stage.

Prototype Support

Students get support from faculty and industry mentors to build a prototype.

Incubation

At this stage, the idea matures into a business and takes anywhere between 3 to 6 months to develop its metrics and profitability.

Funding

ITM Business School has set up a seed fund of INR 10,000,000 to fund qualifying start-ups within the incubator. Angel investment and VC networking opportunities are provided, too.

Degree Awarded

On successful completion of the program you will be awarded the degree of “Master of Business Administration”, by ITM Skills University, a UGC approved, Private Skills University incorporated under the Government of Maharashtra.

Life on Campus

Nestled in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai, a thriving "Smart City" and hub of global financial activities, our technologically advanced and Wi-Fi enabled, green campus provides an ideal backdrop for academic and professional growth.

We recently updated the campus infrastructure and have brand-new interactive air-conditioned classrooms, video conferencing facilities, auditorium and specialized labs. Our campus has plenty of green open spaces, an amphitheater, etc. We provide our students access to the latest software and digital libraries. We also offer hostel facilities so students can benefit from a vibrant community. These facilities underscore our commitment to delivering both curricular and extracurricular learning experiences essential for the holistic development of our students.
