    Thus it all depends on which subjects you have in your 12th boards. No it's not necessary to have economics in 12th to pursue B.A. (H) economics.

    Yes, you can. You CA also opt for BBE Bachelors of Business Economics, there is separate entrance test which DU takes. To do BA Economics, having eco in 12th standard is must. Thus commerce students or arts students who have studied economics can apply for admission.

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.
