Most of these professional courses are either related to Technology, Biology, Commerce and Arts. For 12th students, there are not too many management related professional courses available. Having said that let me also tell you that there exists some good management related courses, which any stream’s student may pursue after 12th. In this article, I will list those top management courses, which can be pursued by students who have completed 12th Science/Commerce/Arts stream schooling!

Top management courses to do after 12th

The entries are not ranked in ascending or descending order. I’ve just listed them down.

1 BBA

BBA stands for Bachelor of Business Administration. BBA’s course duration is 3 years. There exists many Private as well as Government Institutes, which offers this course.

It is an Undergraduate course and even 12th Science/Commerce/Arts stream students may pursue it. After BBA, one may also go for PG (Post Graduate) course MBA.

Talking about job opportunities, it is the private sector that offers ample job opportunities to BBA graduates. BBA graduates usually are tasked with managerial posts in MNCs, Offices and wide variety of other work places. There are Government sector jobs too, for which BBA Graduates may apply!

2 BMS

BMS stands for Bachelor of Management Studies. BMS’ course duration is 3 years. To the untrained eye, both BBA and BMS may look like the same course! To an extent, both BBA and BMS courses have lots of similarities too! They are basically Management related courses!

But upon taking a closer look, one can note differences between them. BMS is more focused on traditional management studies such as analytics. On the other hand, BBA is focused more towards core subjects related to Business studies. 12th passed students from any stream are eligible to pursue this course.

After completing BMS, students may go for MBA. When it comes to job opportunities, Corporate houses are the biggest recruiters. Small and medium sized companies also hires BMS freshers.

3 BBA+MBA Integrated course

As the name suggests, this course is combination of both BBA as well as MBA Degrees. The course duration is 5 years. The biggest advantage of pursuing this course is that students won’t have to apply for PG course MBA after BBA separately. Further, only reputed Institutes are offering this Integrated course in India!

MBA is a PG course. One must be a graduate to pursue MBA, in the traditional PG format. Integrated course like this one is beneficial for 12th passed students, who won’t have to prepare separately for MBA admission!

In short, Hospitality Management professionals are in demand these days. Finding a good job in Public or Private sector won’t be a difficult task for them!
