I will get addmission in Mumbai University or Xavier's through bba

Admission to Mumbai University colleges or St. Xavier’s through BBA is possible, but it depends mainly on your Class 12 marks and the cut-off list. Mumbai University–affiliated colleges usually give admission based on merit, and some colleges may also conduct an entrance test. St. Xavier’s follows a stricter process, where students must clear the entrance test and interview along with meeting a high cut-off. Simply applying does not guarantee admission. Your chances improve only if your board marks are strong and you prepare well for the entrance process. It is always better to apply to multiple colleges and keep backup options instead of depending on one institution alone.

does it have reservation for gujarat domicile students for admission in bba llb hons ?

Hello

With 81.75 marks in CLAT, getting RGNLU Patiala is possible but not fully guaranteed.
Your Punjab domicile gives you an advantage through the home-state quota.
In previous years, the cutoff has gone slightly higher, but it can drop in later rounds.
If your rank falls within the domicile/category cutoff, your chances improve.
Many students get seats during the second or third counselling rounds.
Final admission will depend on your rank, category seats, and choice filling.

Also, you can refer to the link I am attaching below for more details.

How is the exposure to outer world and practical learning experience for bba fintech

Hello,
The exposure to the outer world and practical learning experience in a BBA FinTech program is generally good because the course is designed to combine management studies with modern financial technologies. Students usually get opportunities such as industry visits, guest lectures from fintech professionals, internships in banks or fintech companies, and workshops on tools like digital banking, blockchain, data analytics, and financial management software. Many colleges also include practical assignments, case studies, live projects, and sometimes even collaboration with startups to help students understand real-world financial technology applications. Overall, the program aims to give strong practical exposure along with theoretical knowledge.
Hope this helps you.
