Hey Anushka, Yes, absolutely! Since you're getting your BA in English (Hons), you can apply for the MA in Sociology at Delhi University after you graduate. DU actually has two main ways you can get admitted to the program: 1. Through the Entrance Exam:

Who's Eligible? Basically, anyone with a bachelor's or master's degree in any subject from a recognized university can apply this way.

What grades do I need? You'll need at least 50% overall, or an equivalent grade, in your bachelor's degree.

How does it work? Your score on the entrance exam is what matters here. DU will give you a multiple-choice test – about 50 questions. It'll test your general knowledge, logical and analytical skills, how well you can interpret data, and your reading comprehension. sociology.du.ac.in (http://sociology.du.ac.in/) 2. Based on Merit (if you already studied Sociology at DU):

Who's Eligible? This is only for students who've done a BA (Hons) in Sociology from Delhi University itself.

What grades do I need? You need at least 55% overall, or an equivalent grade. * How does it work? They look at your grades. No entrance exam needed! admission.uod.ac.in (http://admission.uod.ac.in/) sociology.du.ac.in (http://sociology.du.ac.in/) So, since you're doing English (Hons), you'd apply through the Entrance Exam Category. Just keep in mind that meeting the minimum requirements doesn't guarantee you a spot. It's competitive, so prepping for that entrance exam is a really good idea. How to Apply:

Online Registration: You'll need to sign up on DU's official admission website during the application window. admission.uod.ac.in (http://admission.uod.ac.in/)

Application Fee: It's Rs. 500 if you're in the Unreserved, OBC, or other categories. If you're SC/ST/PwD, it's Rs. 250.

About the Exam: It checks things like your general knowledge and how well you can think analytically. Knowing some basic sociology ideas could help, but it's not a must. sociology.du.ac.in (http://sociology.du.ac.in/)

Other Things to Keep in Mind:

Documents: Make sure you submit everything they ask for – like your transcripts and ID – exactly how they want it.

Study Materials: The Sociology Department's website has old exam papers and more info about the exam. Definitely check it out to help you study! sociology.du.ac.in (http://sociology.du.ac.in/) For the latest info, keep an eye on both the University of Delhi's admissions page and the Sociology Department's website. That way, you'll know you've got all the requirements covered and won't miss any important deadlines. Best of luck!

Hello Anushka,

yes, you can apply for an MA in sociology at Delhi University after competing your BA in English(Hons). DU allows students form different disciplines to apply, but you may need to qualify through the entrance exam. check DU's official eligibility criteria for confirmation.

NITYAM MAHUR 30th Mar, 2025

Yes you can apply.

To be eligible for an MA in Sociology, you generally need a Bachelor's degree (BA, BSc, or equivalent) from any college/university, with a minimum of 50% marks (sometimes 45-55% depending on the institution).

Devanshi Goyal 30th Mar, 2025

Yes, you can apply for an MA in Sociology at Delhi University after completing your BA English Honours. Here are a few points to keep in mind:

  1. Eligibility : Delhi University generally accepts students from diverse academic backgrounds, including English Honours, for their MA Sociology program. However, some familiarity with sociology may help, as it’s not a part of your BA syllabus.

  2. Entrance Exam : Admission is primarily through the DU entrance exam, which tests knowledge in sociology and general awareness. You may need to prepare by studying basic sociology concepts to do well in the exam.

  3. Preparation : While your BA doesn't directly align with Sociology, you can start reading introductory sociology books and keep up with social issues to prepare for the entrance exam and enhance your understanding.
