Hey, I had Eng and Hind both in 12th. And my marks are: Eng- 90, Hind-89, Hist- 96, Geo- 96, P. Ed.- 84, Eco- 80. What'll be my best of 4?
For Bachelor's of Arts (Honours) in English, your best four subjects will include the following:
1. English
2. History
3. Geography
4. Economics
5.Hindi
English will be compulsory, while you can't include Physical Education as per University of Delhi guidelines.
So, you can calculate your percentage with english + hindi + history + geography = 92.75%
Hope it helps!
Because you've studied two languages, and you are applying for English hons, then English will be considered as language while Hindi will be considered as an elective subject.
Visit the following link for more details.
Best of four is usually calculated by taking into account English + the best three subjects. Hence, in your case, you have got-
English-90
History- 96
Geography- 96
Hindi- 89
The percentage comes out to be 92.75 which I believe will suffice for admission to your desired course.
Hope this helped!
Since you want to take admission in the English course, it is compulsory for you to add English in this list. Hence, Hindi can be added as a separate subject. You can be sure to add it if is an elective and not a core subject. Even if Hindi is your core subject, I believe you can include it. The DU website mentions that the 4 subjects must be
One language subjectThe subject for which the candidate is applyingSubjects from List A (which does include all of your subjects).
Hence, you can include both. Kindly check the university's guidelines in which you intend to apply.
Good luck!
I am pretty sure that it is right! I did my research well before answering your question.
Hope you get in, Good luck!
