Dedicated to all the IBA dreamers.

Days are becoming more and more competitive. Just few years back, your graduation
was enough to lead a good career. But now it becomes average. So we are to look for some
extra qualifications. In this circumstance, an MBA can satisfy your need. But this precious
MBA degree also has become so common! So if one can be the exceptional or wants to take
an advantage in the job sector through MBA, then one must have to receive the best MBA
from the best Institution. Here IBA, the Institute of Business Administration holds this place.
In the year of 1966, IBA, the first business institute in the South Asia started along with MBA
program as an epic part of Dhaka University and since then it is considered the best institution
that offers the best MBA degree. IBA also offers BBA, Executive MBA, PhD Program,
MPhil Program and Doctor of Business Administration (DBA). IBA opened BBA from 1993
and EMBA from 2007. The best academic facilities, quality education & many wrathful
researches made IBA as the pioneer in rendering business education in Bangladesh.
Nowadays, your education doesn’t show only your qualifications, it also shows your status
& your smartness. To meet all these need, IBA is the best option. So why you don’t try to
pick the best MBA from IBA??

one. But no need to be worried because it may hard but not impossible. 

The following article will guide you on the right track….

lac and for Executive MBA 2.5 about lac.

https://www.facebook.com/Makers.edu.bd
Q. When and how much time the admission test takes place in a year?

- BBA: Once in a year, usually after November. MBA: Twice in a year;- June-July
and November-December. EMBA or Executive MBA: Thrice in a year (Fall, Spring,
and Summer).

- BBA: A student can seat for this admission test only once after his/her HSC.

MBA: No limitations. As many time as you wish.

EMBA: No limitations.

Q. What are the academic qualifications to get chance in IBA?

- BBA;- you need to have 4 point separately in both SSC & HSC from any discipline
(Science/Arts/Commerce)

MBA;- At least GPA 3 both in SSC & HSC and CGPA 2.5 up in Bachelor Degree.
But remember, IBA will allow your CGPA below 3 in Honor’s only when your
SSC+HSC+Honor’s makes a total 7 point. For more details, please go through this link
http://iba-du.edu/index.php/page/view/354.

EMBA;- 3 years job experience is first eligibility for Executive MBA. Other
academic qualifications are same to MBA requirements.

Q. Is the MBA & Part Time MBA not same or different?

- Actually, the syllabus & all the course outlines are same to same for both Regular
MBA & Part Time MBA. So then why it is call Part Time MBA?? Because, In part
time MBA a student can enjoy his job or any other profession besides his MBA and
all the classes are conducted only in evening. A student gets here much relax and he/she
needs approximately 3 to 4 years to complete the total program with internship. This
is why it is called Part time MBA. At the time of admission test, a candidate has to
choose any one of the two that is MBA or part Time MBA. One can enjoy Part Time
MBA only in December session. But after completing one semester, an IBAites can
migrate him/herself easily from Regular to Part Time MBA or Part Time to regular
MBA. So, no tension, do study. 
