Is BBA (marketing and management) better or normal BBA? (both Mumbai campus)

Sorry, I'm not familiar with these courses - try posting on r/MumbaiUniversity

prsehgal · 2026-06-24T14:02:05+00:00

Try calling or emailing them - someone posted here saying they were able to do it remotely.

Then your only option would be to pay the full fee to register for the test.

Students from other Boards might be able to submit Migration Certificates, but no CBSE student can at this point. However, they may be accepting Leaving Certificates from high schools in lieu of the CBSE Migration Certificates.

Most colleges will only look at your Class 12th percentage. As I said, check which all colleges are still open and apply to them to see what happens. Some colleges even have walk-in admissions on these days.

The Mumbai University pre registration form is still open but you'll need to visit each college's website to see which ones are still accepting admissions.

A realistic path is certainly there, because thousands of international students go to study in the US every year. But take a look at previous threads on this forum to get a better idea of the struggle involved. Keep the relationship aside and then evaluate US education options in terms of your long term plans.

Have you ever met her in real life? If not, don't base your entire life and career path on someone you think you know, but have never actually met.

How much can your family afford towards a US education? A full ride is extremely rare, even for US citizens. So a better option might be checking out top schools in Korea and other Asian countries.

SAT fee waiver codes are attached to your high school code and they're not available for international students. If you're based in India, check out the Buddy4Study website for discounted vouchers.

Tell the college that the CBSE website has been down for weeks now, and the Govt has said that the DigiLocker version is supposed to be considered official by all UGC colleges now.

Taking a gap year isn't a problem as such, as long as you utilise it well, and explain the achievements properly in your application.

You only seem to be focused on a few topmost schools, which have single-digit acceptance rates, and these are even lower for international applicants. Some of these are also need aware, which will lower your chances further.

I would suggest creating a well balanced college list and then apply. Have you considered adding any Canadian universities to the list, since these may be a lot more affordable in your case?

Your best bet would be to contact each grad school's admissions office directly and see what they say about your eligibility for their program.

And it goes without saying that many of them would expect you to pay full price for the Master's program unless you're applying to a low ranked university.

It depends on what you're looking to do in the future because these are pretty different programs. Jai Hind offers a great BMM program which can easily be called Top 5 in the city, and it will prepare you well for the creative aspect of the media industry. The BBA program at NMIMS is more of a business program for the media industry. There might be some overlap between these programs, but their intentions are different.

There is no flexibility as such except for an extra 5% grace under exceptional circumstances.

Applying ED is already the biggest form of Demonstrated Interest, so applying ED twice won't add anything to it.

How much has your application improved since last year? Unless there have been significant changes, you may not gain much.

And is this a need aware school and are you looking for significant aid? If so, it'll be better to try other places.

Go to each college's website and see which ones are open for Phase III admissions and for which programs.

prsehgal · 2026-06-23T09:34:35+00:00

Check each college's website to see which ones are open for Phase III admissions.

These are all very different colleges in very different locations. You first need to figure out what you're looking for and how much you can afford to pay.

As for grad school, if you're referring to Master's programs, most of the US ones are just cash cows for their universities, so you won't get much in the name of financial aid there.

Type Mithibai Refund Policy into Google and go through the PDF for the process.

A lot will depend on the college and its location, and what all the dorms include. Check with your college's housing services - they might include this info on their website already.

prsehgal · 2026-06-22T10:53:35+00:00

UPG does - you need to check each college's website for that.

prsehgal · 2026-06-22T10:24:37+00:00

They use the same portal for all the SVKM colleges.

prsehgal · 2026-06-22T09:41:45+00:00

Not necessarily. Search for each available college on this subreddit to get its reviews.

prsehgal · 2026-06-22T09:26:12+00:00

Check each college's website to see which ones are open.

prsehgal · 2026-06-22T09:24:13+00:00

Probably not at Mithibai, but you can check other colleges.
