My son got an undergrad admission to Berkeley, he would like to pursue business studies hence how easy/tough it is to get in to Haas business school at Berkley?

It is competitive to get admitted to Haas later when he applies as a junior. Just make sure he has a backup plan (i.e., economics) if he does not get it.
How many students are admitted to Haas undergrad business program?, and what is the acceptance rate??
@viruhonn: See the link in post #1 that will answer all your questions.
Economics tends to be the backup, although that major has also gotten impacted as the Haas-wannabe’s all gravitate to it as a Plan B.
In the old days, if economics is not feasible, some transfers to other business schools, i.e., Cal St. East Bay, etc., or USC Marshall if they can afford it. Like Haas, Marshall is a top 10 or 12 undergraduate business school in the US. Transferring is always a backup option.
Industrial Engineering or Operations Research & Management Science are also options at Cal. These areas are more quantitative than the Haas curriculum. I believe they require an extra year of math beyond the 1 year calculus required by Haas.
If you want the Cal degree, economics is the best backup plan.
Declaring the economics major requires a 3.0 GPA in the prerequisites:
