Based on your CUET scores 88 percentile in GAT and 77 percentile in English you may have a moderate chance of securing admission into certain Integrated M.A. programs offered by Central Universities, depending on the course and category you belong to.

At the University of Hyderabad (UoH), Integrated M.A. courses are offered in Economics, History, Political Science, Sociology, and Anthropology. For general category students, the previous year’s cutoffs were typically above 90 percentile in GAT and 85–90 percentile in English, especially for Economics and Political Science.

However, courses like Anthropology, History, or Sociology may have relatively lower cutoffs, and with your scores, you might be considered under waiting lists or in later counselling rounds. If you belong to a reserved category (OBC/SC/ST/EWS), your chances improve significantly.

You can also consider applying to other central universities that offer Integrated M.A. programs with slightly lower cutoff trends, such as:

• Central University of Karnataka (CUK) – M.A. in English, Political Science, History

• Central University of Tamil Nadu (CUTN) – M.A. in Economics

• Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU), Lucknow – Multiple humanities courses

• Mahatma Gandhi Central University, Bihar

• Central University of South Bihar (CUSB) – M.A. in Development Studies, Economics, etc.

Make sure to review the previous year’s cutoffs and seat matrix of each university before applying.
