| Author: raviteja 29 Mar 2009 Member Level: Bronze Points : 2 Voting Score: 0 | BMS stands for Bachelor of Management Studies. It's a 3-year full time degree program introduced by the University of Mumbai from the academic year 1999-2000. The program is based on the BBA program of International Universities.
The objectives of the BMS program of the University of Mumbai:
* To create for the students of University of Mumbai an additional avenue of self-employment and also to benefit industry by providing them with suitable trained persons.
* To provide adequate basic understanding about Management Education among the students.
* To give an adequate exposure to operational environment in the field of Management.
* To inculcate training in the use of modern technology for the benefit of all parties concerned.
What is the difference between BMS and B.Com/BA/B.Sc.?
B.Com
The professional career options that are open to a commerce graduate are CA/ICWA/CS/MBA. If the B.Com student is not interested in studying accounts and/or not interested in pursuing a career in accounting, then he /she should definitely examine the options of BMS after his HSC. Moreover at any point of time while pursuing the BMS Program, if a student wants to study CA/ICWA/CS the option is still open to him/her.
B.Sc.
The career options for a science student are Medical or Engineering or research in the field of pure sciences, etc. If the student is not interested in pursuing any of these fields then he/she should definitely go in for a BMS program rather than a B.Sc. program.
BA
The options available for an Arts student are Economics, Philosophy, Geography, Political Science, Literature, Sociology, etc. However if the student is not interested in pursuing a career in any of these fields and is interested in management as a career than he or she should examine the option of BMS as an option.
The important thing to note here is that compared to a normal degree like BA/B.Sc./B.Com, a BMS offers more to the students in terms personal value additions. BMS students gain a lot of practical knowledge besides theoretical understanding through a teaching pedagogy of case studies, group activities, project writing, presentations, summer internship, etc.
Moreover if a student is finally aiming for a MBA degree after his/her degree than a BMS graduate has a definite edge over others with a normal BA/B.Sc./B.Com degrees. Though BMS student does not get any relaxation in terms of the selection criteria for a MBA program, he / she is more well prepared to weather the vagaries of the Entrance Test, Group Discussion, Personal Interview , besides the grueling 2 year MBA Program.
The decision of choosing the stream (Arts, Science, Commerce) after CSC(class X th) is influenced to a great extent by the parent depending upon the marks the student scores in the Xth Board Exams. As a result a lot of students get pushed into Science/Arts/Commerce without any interest in the same. BMS is an opportunity for all students, who feel they are in the wrong stream, to change to the Management field and also to make an early start to a management career.
Does a BMS degree give you any advantage while pursuing MBA as a career?
Yes, it does, as BMS exposes you to practical aspects like project work, group studies, case studies, presentations, which is part of the teaching pedagogy of a MBA program as also the BMS program.

No. A student has to pass his HSC exam from a recognized Board in India to be eligible for the course.
