Yes, you can opt for Geography as a domain subject in CUET 2026 even if you didn’t study it in 12th grade. NTA allows candidates to choose any of the available domain subjects.

However, Delhi University (DU) may have specific subject prerequisites for certain courses, so check the course requirements carefully.

Programs like B.A. (Hons.) Geography typically require Geography as a domain subject.

Next steps:

1. Review DU’s official CUET subject combination list to confirm eligibility.

2. Prepare using NCERT textbooks and recommended materials.

3. Stay updated with NTA and DU announcements for any changes.

After completing BA in Geography, you can go for higher studies like MA in Geography, GIS & Remote Sensing, Environmental Studies, Urban & Regional Planning, or Disaster Management. If you are interested in government jobs, you can prepare for UPSC, State PSC, SSC, or other competitive exams. You can also take professional training in cartography, survey, or teaching if you aim for academic roles. Your choice should depend on whether you want to work in research, planning, environment, or civil services.

Hello Mahi!

Samrat Prithviraj College in Ajmer usually runs regular and private M.A. programs. However, whether they have offered M.A. Geography as a private option depends on the university’s rules .In recent years, private M.A. seats have been available in subjects where student demand remains consistent. I recommend contacting the college’s postgraduate admissions office or checking the university admission brochure online. If Geography appeared in previous years’ private courses list, it's likely to continue.

Hello Aspirant,

The NTA considers the aggregate of five subjects when it comes to the 75% eligibility in JEE Main – Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and any other two subjects. So, in short, if you can fulfill the 75% eligibility by taking Marathi and Geography instead of English, you can do it, provided Marathi is one of the acceptable subjects according to the NTA Subject list (typically, any language subject is deemed acceptable).

Hii,

Yes, you can still appear for the UGC NET in Geography, but there's a small change. UGC prefers candidates to write NET in the subject of their post-graduation. However, if your Rural Development MA had strong overlaps with geography topics like environment, population studies, etc., and you feel confident with Geography concepts, you can go for it. Just be ready to justify your choice if asked during verification. Otherwise, another option is to appear for UGC NET in Rural Development if that’s more aligned with your MA.

Thank you for reaching out and all the best for your exam !

Since your OBC and NCL certificates are not ready, you will likely be treated as a General category candidate during NCET counselling. Your scores are very strong, especially in Geography, Hindi, and Teaching Aptitude, so yes, you do stand a good chance under the General category as well. Keep all documentation ready and also mention your acknowledgment slip during counselling.
