In India there are few reputed Universities and many new upcoming universities offers or rather allows the BBA students to take up Masters in any stream be it Masters in Arts or Science or they are eligible for MBA as a usual practice.

The Ph.D. or the Doctorate degrees offered for the BBA and MBA students are mainly in Management Sciences. Now the universities balance with the fundamental aspect of the knowledge on the subject with flexibility in order to create new knowledge and this is absolutely received from the interest of students who wish to go for doctorate degree. Now there is a tough task in the course that the students who would undergo Doctorate degree will have to go through thorough academic work and should be able to work independently on any research topic they choose to do and then complete the doctorate degree.

These students who opt for doctorate degrees are expected to participate in various interactive discussions and various kinds of workshops and thus they will have to be a part of the group who are highly intellectually motivated. Since the doctorate students participate in different kind of interactive sessions they are always stimulated with lot of innovative ideas on the subject and then with lot of new ideas they tend to collaborate on the research work and then publish their thesis at national or international conferences. Because of such demanding academic work from the students, the eligibility of migration from Management stream to General stream is also very stringent and rigid.

It is the usual practice that BBA and MBA students undergo Ph.D on Management subjects like Marketing, Finance, Organizational, Leadership and Human Resources and Business Operation which includes the systems which are usually followed in any kind of business.

But now there are many universities which opened up faculties allowing the BBA students to take up Masters in General subjects depending on the score achieved in BBA and from then with the entrance exam they can apply for Phd program depending on their choice of subject and the marks obtained in Master degree. The universities consider the migration from Management to General course for Master degree and Phd. from case to case basis. The demand of marks is very high and there is no direct admission in any of the institute.

The curriculum for both master's and doctorate degree varies from subject to subject. If the BBA candidate pursues MBA then it is always advisable to pursue PhD in Management studies and if the BBA student migrates from Management to general during his/her post-graduation program then the University will surely allow the candidate to pursue PH.D in any other subject based on the choice of the student.

Eligibility criteria are wholly based on the marked obtained by the student in his or her Bachelor degree be it BBA or Bachelors in General subjects. Candidate with higher scores ie above 75% is eligible for post-graduation in any stream be it Management degree or non-management degree.
