Amity Global Business School Chennai GDBA + BBA : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The GDBA (Graduate Diploma in Business Administration) is awarded by AGBS Chennai upon completing the first phase of the programme, giving students an early business credential. The BBA (Bachelor of Business Administration) is the full three-year degree conferred on successful completion of all six semesters. Students who finish the entire programme exit with both credentials, which is useful for those who may need to enter the workforce before completing the full degree.

Ans. No national-level entrance exam is required for the GDBA+BBA programme at AGBS Chennai. The college conducts its own aptitude assessment, an English essay test, and a personal interview. Admission is based on Class 12 merit combined with performance in these internal stages. This process is more accessible than programmes that mandate CAT, IPMAT, or other competitive exams.

Ans. A candidate with 90% in a State Board Class 12 exam qualifies for the AGBS 50% tuition waiver scholarship, provided other admission criteria are met. A 93% or above on a State Board earns a full 100% tuition waiver. For CBSE and ISC board students, the thresholds are 88% for a 50% waiver and 93% for a full waiver.

Ans. Yes, AGBS Chennai conducts personal interviews both online and at its Nungambakkam campus. The mode is determined based on the candidate’s preference and slot availability at the time of scheduling. Shortlisted applicants receive interview call details via email or phone after clearing the aptitude test and English essay stages.

Ans. GDBA+BBA graduates can pursue entry-level roles in marketing, human resources, finance, operations, and business development across sectors like FMCG, banking, retail, and logistics. Many alumni also enrol in MBA programmes for advanced specialisation. The dual credential and the business school network in Chennai can also support candidates targeting management trainee positions or entrepreneurial roles.

Ans. The GDBA+BBA fee is charged semester-wise. Semesters 1 to 4 (Year 1 and Year 2) each cost INR 80,100, totalling INR 3,20,400 for the first two years.
