NFSU BBA-MBA FAQs

Ques. The NFAT exam has been cancelled for 2026 - does that mean admission to BBA-MBA at NFSU is now only through CUET-UG?

Ans. Yes, NFSU has officially cancelled the NFAT (National Forensic Admission Test) from the academic year 2026-27 onwards. For the BBA-MBA Integrated program, admission is now strictly based on CUET-UG 2026 scores. Candidates must appear in at least one of the accepted CUET-UG subjects: Accountancy/Book Keeping (301), Business Studies (305), Computer Science/Informatics Practices (308), Economics/Business Economics (309), Mass Media/Mass Communication (318), Core Mathematics/Applied Mathematics (319), or General Aptitude Test (501). There is no separate NFSU entrance test for this program anymore.

Ques. I scored 59% in Class 12 (General category). Am I eligible for the BBA-MBA program at NFSU Gandhinagar?

Ans. No, unfortunately you are not eligible. The minimum eligibility for General/OBC/EWS category candidates is 60% in Class 12 (or equivalent). The 55% relaxation applies only to SC/ST and PwD category candidates. This is a strict criterion set by NFSU, and there is no provision for condoning the shortfall in percentage. You would need to either reappear in Class 12 to improve your score or explore other universities with lower eligibility thresholds.

Ques. What is the difference between the Gandhinagar and Delhi campuses for the BBA-MBA program? Which one should I prefer?

Ans. The Gandhinagar campus is the main and original campus of NFSU (formerly GFSU) and has a larger infrastructure, more faculty, better research facilities, and stronger placement networks compared to the Delhi campus. The seat intake at Gandhinagar is 60 versus 40 at Delhi. Students on Reddit and other forums have consistently recommended Gandhinagar over Delhi for better campus life, placement opportunities, and overall academic experience. The fee structure is identical at both campuses. If you have a choice, Gandhinagar is generally preferred.

Ques. Does NFSU Gandhinagar have on-campus hostel facilities for BBA-MBA students?

Ans. NFSU Gandhinagar does not have its own on-campus hostel. However, the university has empanelled a list of private hostels near the campus where students can stay. The empanelled hostel list is released by the university each academic year. Students in the BBA-MBA integrated program (being an undergraduate integrated course) are accommodated in these empanelled hostels. Costs typically range from Rs. 8,000 to Rs. 15,000 per month depending on the type of room and amenities. Students are advised to check the latest empanelled hostel list on the NFSU website before finalizing accommodation.

Ques. What are the career and placement prospects after completing the BBA-MBA Integrated program from NFSU?

Ans. The BBA-MBA program at NFSU has a niche positioning due to its forensic specializations. Graduates with specializations in Forensic Accounting and Fraud Investigation are recruited by firms like KPMG, Deloitte, and forensic audit divisions of major companies. The average salary reported by students is around Rs. 5 LPA, with higher packages going up to Rs. 16 LPA for top performers. The MBA phase placements are considered decent given the university's INI status and growing industry connections. However, since the program started only in 2021, the placement track record is still developing, and students should supplement their degree with relevant certifications and internships to maximize employability.

Ques. Can I exit the program after completing the BBA phase (3 years) and get a BBA degree?

Ans. This is a common query among students. The BBA-MBA at NFSU is a fully integrated 5-year program, and the university does not officially offer a lateral exit with a standalone BBA degree after 3 years. The degree awarded at the end of the program is the integrated BBA-MBA. Students who wish to exit early should check with the university's academic office for any provisions under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 framework, which allows for multiple entry and exit options. However, as of the current academic structure at NFSU, the standard expectation is completion of all 5 years for the integrated degree.
