How CUET Works for IPU BBA 2026-27
Per Section 1.1 ("At a Glance") of the GGSIPU UG Admission Brochure 2026-27, BBA admission at IP University (Programme Code 125 — BBA & Allied Programmes / 5-year BBA-MBA Integrated) is structured as a two-tier merit list:
- First preference: GGSIPU CET 2026 conducted by the University.
- Second pathway: CUET (UG) 2026 # — used to fill vacant seats remaining after IPU CET counselling rounds (Important Instruction #37).
A BBA aspirant who only has a CUET score (and not IPU CET) is still admissible — through the CUET vacant-seat round and through the management quota route at IPU's affiliated BBA colleges.
Eligibility for BBA via CUET (Programme Code 125)
Per Chapter 2 of the brochure:
- Pass in Class 12 (10+2) of CBSE or equivalent with a minimum 50% marks in aggregate* (best 4 subjects including English).
- The candidate must also have passed English (core / elective / functional) as a subject in the qualifying examination.
- Marks are not rounded off — 49.99% will not become 50% (Important Instruction #28).
- Reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC/PwD): 5% relaxation per university policy.
* "Aggregate of 50% marks in the 12th class for the purpose of eligibility will be taken as the aggregate of the best four subjects (unless otherwise specified) including English and compulsory subject(s), if any" — Chapter 2, "For Graduation Programmes" footnote.
CUET (UG) Subject Papers Required for IPU BBA
Per Chapter 2, Programme Code 125 (Domain Specific Subjects column), candidates appearing in CUET (UG) for IPU BBA should attempt at least one of the following:
- Section IA — English (Code 101) — recommended language paper since English is a compulsory eligibility subject.
- Section II — Business Studies (Code 305)
- Section III — General Aptitude Test (Code 501)
Combining all three (English + Business Studies + General Aptitude) gives the strongest profile for the IPU CUET vacant-seat round and for management-quota applications. Candidates without Business Studies in Class 12 can rely on English + General Aptitude Test.
Per Section 1.2 of the brochure: paper-mapping shown above is from CUET 2025; final CUET 2026 paper structure will be notified by GGSIPU before counselling.
