    Hi Pratik,
    Yes, you can pursue BA in your graduation while you have completed your class 12th with commerce. B.Sc in economics has more mathematical and practical implication and it is opened for students who have studied mathematics till 12th. Whereas, BA in economics is more theoretical program and can be done without studying mathematics till 12th.
    I hope this helps.
    All the best.

    B.Sc. Economics is best option where you can do much better as B.A. You'll learn practical problems more than theory with Maths. But B.A. Economics with Maths stats and eco best combo for B.A. Also much better but package are different. Research both and find your area of interest where you want to go theory or not.

Absolutely! Having a humanities background is no barrier to pursuing Fine Arts at Chandigarh University.

The programme welcomes students from all streams, including humanities, as long as they meet the minimum requirement of 50% marks in their 12th exams. Many humanities students find the programme a natural extension of their academic interests, as the curriculum often connects with cultural, historical, and social themes. For example, a student who studied history might bring unique perspectives into courses like painting or applied arts.

The university values creativity and passion over specific subjects studied in school.
