In general, that programme can be made to admit students for the M.A. Telugu, without requiring the students to undergo any entrance examination according to the different policies that each university has. In India, however, for students who wish to take postgraduate courses, particularly an M.A. Telugu course, it has been a must for them to take either the entrance exam or the interview for admission into the particular course. Other universities will provide you admission simply based on your graduation-level academic performance against the eligibility criteria.
These are the things you should consider: Eligibility Criteria: To get admission for the M.A. Telugu Program, most universities require a Bachelor's Degree in any stream. However, some prefer students with a background in Telugu or related fields. Since you completed your B.Tech, you may still be eligible, although some institutions could ask for a specific qualification in the humanities or languages for eligibility.
Fast-track Admission: Many universities readily provide for fast-track admission based on academic performance during undergraduate studies, especially if the course you are applying for does not require an entrance exam. However, it should not be accepted as a rule for every institution. For example, Andhra University and Osmania University may vary in their admission procedure compared with Telangana University.
Well-Known Universities Offering M.A. Telugu:
Osmania University (Hyderabad): Holds entrance tests for postgraduate admissions, but could allow direct admission according to the particular year with the courses exempted from entrance exams. Andhra University (Visakhapatnam): Might conduct entrance tests but at the same time grant direct admission into its programs like Osmania on the basis of previous academic performance. Telangana University (Nizamabad): Offers M.A. Telugu where entry is determined by either merit or by entrance exam result.
Entrance Exams Waiver: Some universities or places have not made any entrance exam mandatory for outstanding academically having a mark or for any professional qualification. Inquiry at the university admission office with respect to how your B.Tech background would exempt you from having to take the entrance exam for admission.
