Bharati Vidyapeeth MBA: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Specialisation changes after admission are generally not permitted at BVDU, as the Hospitality MBA is housed in a separate institute (College of Hotel and Tourism Management Studies) while the General and HRM MBAs are offered through IMED. Applicants should confirm their preferred specialisation before accepting the seat. If you are undecided, apply to the General MBA first, as it offers broader specialisation choices within the programme including Marketing, Finance, and HR tracks within a single curriculum.

Ans. BVP CET is not mandatory. BVDU accepts valid scores from CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, and CUET-PG alongside BVP CET. Candidates who already have a national MBA entrance score can apply directly without appearing for BVP CET. However, the final admission decision also depends on performance in the group discussion and personal interview conducted by the respective institute. BVP CET is convenient for candidates who missed national exams, since it runs as a window test until August 10, 2026.

Ans. The General MBA at IMED covers a wider set of specialisations including Marketing, Finance, Operations, and IT alongside HR electives, giving graduates flexibility across industries. The MBA (HRM) is a focused programme covering talent acquisition, compensation management, labour law, and HR analytics, suited for students who are certain about an HR career. Both programmes share the same two-year structure, fee, and admission process. If you are undecided between HR and other functions, the General MBA gives more options; if HR is your clear target, the HRM specialisation provides deeper subject depth.

Ans. BVDU has a central placement cell that facilitates campus recruitment for MBA graduates across its institutes. The Hospitality MBA sees recruiters from hotel chains, airlines, and travel companies, while the General and HRM MBAs attract firms from BFSI, IT services, FMCG, and manufacturing. Placement figures are not published in a centralised public report; candidates should contact the respective placement cell or alumni for recent data. The mandatory internship and live projects are designed to open direct industry connections alongside the formal placement drive.

Ans. The BVP CET window is open until August 10, 2026, which is very close to the application deadline of August 7, 2026. If you have a valid national MBA entrance score (CAT, MAT, XAT, CMAT, ATMA, or CUET-PG), you can apply without appearing for BVP CET at all. There is no provision to appear for a supplementary BVP CET after the window closes. For 2026-27 admissions, submitting a valid national score before August 7 is the fallback option if the BVP CET window has been missed.
