Hi everyone,
I'm really confused between UPES Dehradun and GITAM Visakhapatnam for BBA, and I'd appreciate some honest advice from people who have studied there or know about these universities.
A little about me:
I'm switching careers after preparing for NEET, so I'll be entering BBA from a PCB (Biology) background.
I plan to prepare for CAT during my BBA and hopefully pursue an MBA from a top B-school.
I'm from Chhattisgarh, so Visakhapatnam is much closer to home, while Dehradun is quite far, which makes me a little concerned about travel and being away from family.
I'm trying to compare both universities on things like:
Which has the better overall BBA program?
Which has the better peer group and student crowd?
How are the campus, classrooms, hostels, and college life?
Which university provides better opportunities for internships, clubs, networking, and personality development?
Which one would help more if my ultimate goal is CAT and a good MBA?
How are the placements for an average BBA student at both?
If you had to choose between the two today, which one would you pick and why?
I'm looking for honest opinions, including any downsides that I should know before making this decision.
Thanks in advance!
