Sorry, but you can not get admission in BBA courses by skipping mathematics.So it is advised that if you failed,no worry,do it anyway. Mathematics in BBA is not as tough as you are studying in 12th. Once you clear subject in 12th,you'll find rest of work easy to do.

BBA having several other sub-courses under in which you want to specialized like finance,marketing,business,hospital management,business management,information technology,etc. Course is of three years contains six semesters.

Course required minimum 50%-60% in intermediate(12th) and various colleges required entrance exam clearance,varies from college to college.Entrance exam is multiple choice questions.

The eligibility for admission in BBA course is that candidate must have passed 12th from a recognised board with minimum 50%.

For admission in some of institutes it is mandatory to have PCM or Mathematics as main paper and also have minimum required aggregate to appear for examination.

So, although you are commerce stream candidates you are eligible for admission in BBA stream but only when you pass 12th board examination. As, you have failed in mathematics paper you will be not considered as 12th pass candidate.

BBA refers to Bachelor of Business Administration and as the name suggests it is a bachelor degree course of three years with a quite good career option in future.

The minimum educational qualification required for pursuing the same degree is a higher secondary school degree with English as one of the main subjects with at least 50% aggregate from a recognized board of education.

So as you have mentioned that you have failed in Mathematics paper of your Class 12th so you are not eligible for pursuing BBA or any other degree course whose basic requirement is a higher secondary school degree until you clear your Mathematics paper once again.

Also as I have mentioned that for pursuing BBA degree course what matters is the English as a main subject in your higher secondary school degree but you must have qualified in all your papers of Class 12th board examination to be eligible for pursuing the same course.

The general eligibility criteria for Bachelor of Business Administration is:

1. You must have passed 10+2 from a recognized board or appearing for senior secondary board examination.

2. You should have at least 50% marks. It may vary from college to college.

3. English must be one of the compulsory subject of 10+2.

But failed candidates of 10+2 are not eligible for Bachelor of Business Administration course. You need to obtain passing marks in failed subject to become eligible for this course.

Yes, you can get admission in BBA course even if you have not studied Mathematics in Commerce stream. But, you need to qualify all the subjects of your 12th standard including Mathematics subject in your 12th standard. Admissions in BBA course are done through merit basis of 10th standard board examination marks or through entrance examination or admission test conducted by the respective college/ university.

BBA stands for Bachelor of Business Administration and same is an undergraduate degree course in commerce and business field with quite a good scope.

As far as you are concerned about your eligibility for pursuing BBA degree course having failed in Mathematics paper of your Class 12th then I would like to let you know that you can not pursue BBA or any higher degree course without clearing your Mathematics paper.


Also I would like to let you know that the basic educational qualification required for pursuing BBA degree course is a higher secondary school degree with English as one of the main subjects with at least 50% aggregate from a recognized board of education and hence to pursue BBA degree you must have studied English at your Class 12th level.

BBA stands for Bachelor of Business Administration. This is a 3 year course being offered by many of the colleges in India.

The minimum academic qualification that is required for the candidates to join this course is by completion of 10+2.

One can direct admission for this course. No Entrance Exam is required. Admission would be provided based on your percentage of marks in 10+2.

As per your query, you mentioned that you have failed in Mathematics in Commerce stream of 10+2. I don't think so there will be Mathematics subject in Commerce stream.

Hope it would be MEC (Mathematics, Economics, Commerce) where in you will have Mathematics along with Commerce.

If you have failed in Mathematics subject, there would be supplementary exam within 1-2 months after the announcement of results. If you are able to clear the subject in supplementary exam, your 10+2 will be completed and there are no obstacles for you to join BBA course.

Incase if you are not able to get through it, then you are not eligible for to join BBA course.

Only candidates who successfully completed 10+2 without any backlogs are eligible to join BBA course either in regular mode or distance mode.

If this is the case, you need to give Mathematics subject again in the next year. This will result in an year of academic career loss. But there is no choice.
