Hello,
BA in Public Administration is generally a three-year undergraduate degree offered after completing Class 12 or equivalent. If you have completed a 3-year diploma after 10th, you may not be directly eligible for lateral entry into the second year of a BA program, as lateral entry is more commonly associated with technical or professional degrees like engineering.
Hope this helps. All the best!
Hello Aspirant,
Yes, it is possible to do a BA in Public Administration for students with a 3-year diploma after 10th grade, but generally, not through lateral entry.
Most universities that offer a BA, and likewise a Public Administration BA, will require a 10+2 or equivalent qualification, at minimum. That said, there are open universities, like IGNOU and state open universities, that may allow admission to a diploma holder (after 10th) for the first year BA program, not as a lateral entry. Admission eligibility in this area is unique to each university's admissions policy, so it would be best to contact the particular institution if you are interested.
Hello,
No, you cannot get admission into BA Public Administration directly after a 3-year diploma done after 10th, through lateral entry.
For BA courses, most universities need you to complete 12th class (10+2) . Diploma after 10th is not accepted for lateral entry into BA courses.
You may need to do 12th through open schooling (like NIOS) or join from the first year of BA if the college allows diploma holders. Better to check with the specific college or university.
Hope it helps !
