A BBA or business FYP is usually a research project or a business plan, not software. The strongest ones still use digital data: sales records, online reviews, ad results or survey data analysed properly. These 15 FYP ideas for business students are built around how Pakistani businesses sell, market and get paid today, and each lists the method, the data, a digital tool to use and what you hand in.
Check your department’s format first (research thesis or business plan), and get written permission from any business whose data you use.

Frequently asked questions
Do BBA students need to build software for their FYP?
No. Most business departments expect research or a business plan. Using digital data and tools, as these ideas do, makes your work stronger and more relevant to employers.
How many survey responses do we need?
Ask your supervisor, because it depends on your method. Many student surveys aim for 100 to 200 responses; interview studies often use 10 to 20 interviews.
Can we use a real company’s data?
Yes, with written permission. Remove customer names and phone numbers, and let the company read your findings before you submit.
