UPES Integrated BBA-MBA 2027 non-exam pathway admissions open: apply with 75% in Class 12

UPES has opened applications for its Integrated BBA-MBA 2027 Non-Exam Pathway, with notices issued around 26 October 2026. This pathway offers an admission route for students aspiring to pursue a career in business and law without an entrance examination, provided they meet specific academic criteria.

The program, offered by the School of Business, is designed to provide a full understanding of business principles, management techniques, and legal frameworks. It aims to prepare students for corporate settings by developing critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills through practical learning.

Eligibility and Admission Process for BBA-MBA

For candidates seeking admission through the Non-Exam Pathway for the Integrated BBA-MBA 2027 program, a minimum of 75% marks in both Class X and Class XII is required. This pathway is distinct from the general eligibility criteria, which stipulate a minimum of 50% marks in Class X and XII.

General admissions to the BBA-MBA program can also be secured through entrance examinations such as UPESMET-UG, UGAT, or CUET. The program combines foundational knowledge of business administration with legal expertise, covering subjects like finance, marketing, operations, human resources, and contract law.

Program Structure and Faculty

The Integrated BBA-MBA program spans four years and is structured to emphasize practical learning. This includes the use of case studies, simulations, and experiential projects to enhance students’ understanding and application of business and legal concepts. The curriculum is designed to equip students to navigate legal challenges and manage legal risks within corporate environments.

The School of Business at UPES, established in 2003 in Dehradun, houses a faculty composed of experienced professors and legal practitioners. This blend of academic and practical expertise aims to provide students with a well-rounded education in both business administration and legal considerations.
