Statement of Problem

Its been almost a decade of establishment of CIT. The first batch of BBA has been in market and many are underway. The admission in CIT for BBA is growing each year and enrollment in BBA is growing faster and much better than other faculties. Looking at these past trends students enrollment in BBA is seen because of three things: BBA is much affordable and students of other streams can also join. BBA candidates can have jobs at Banks, which is growing as a prestigious job. The demand for BBA in market is growing. But is it true that students are just enrolling themselves in BBA just hearing these words or is it really that they have a clear perception of their career and enrolling themselves, there is a dilemma. Most of the students are found giving up their study later at other semester as due to lack of clear perception. So a clear study is needed.
