The B.A. Programme, traditionally seen as a knowledge-oriented academic course, has long been popular among students seeking subject specialization. In recent years, however, the programme has witnessed a surge in demand, owing to its diverse and dynamic opportunities across disciplines. This is reflected in the growing competition for subjects like Political Science, Economics, History, Psychology, and Sociology, with some cut-offs reaching 98% – 99.9% in Class 12 exams.
The NEP 2020 curriculum framework further enhances the programme, making it not only academically enriching but also professionally relevant and future-ready.
