    • Over the last two decades, the field of banking, finance and insurance has become increasingly technical, specialized and competitive. Innovations in IT have revolutionized this industry and the entry of global players in this industry has made the market even more competitive. Banking and insurance organizations now require employees who could exhibit skills, knowledge and experience beyond those provided by typical traditional academic institutes. As a result, there is a significant demand for academic courses that specially focus on the concepts and skills specifically required for the banking and insurance business.The existing courses in the country do not fully cater to this emerging demand.

    The BBA-BI is a four years bachelor degree program spread over eight semesters. A student needs to successfully complete 126 credit hours of course work, a summer project and an internship before graduation.The course is designed to accelerate professional development in students with superior career orientation and versatility.

     

    Summer Project is undertaken during the fourth semester. The project work involves field work and empirical analysis of the information collected from the field. The students are also required to prepare a project report in a prescribed format.
     
    Internship lasts for a period of six to eight weeks. Colleges arrange the internship for all the students enrolled in the program. During the internship, a student is supervised by a faculty supervisor assigned from the college and a supervisor from the respective organization where he/ she is doing the internship.

    Objectives

    The objective of the BBA-BI program are,

    1. To develop sound knowledge base and proper conceptual underpinnings of business management, banking, finance and insurance.
