    Yes, you can. You should score a minimum of 50% in class 12th to do BCA.

    Yes, you are eligible for BCA course. All the best ahead! Other courses can only be suggested given your area of interests. If you are interested in computer and wish to develop apps or opt for networking then BCA is indeed very good option.

    Yes, you are eligible for admission into BCA, but you should consider doing it via distance learning education centres like IGNOU. In this way, you'll be able to work and study at the same time.

    Try a short-term course or Diploma. Also, you can opt for distance education courses from SOL or IGNOU.
  • If you opted for maths in HSC then only you can pursue BCA. You have B.Com as the alternate course.

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.
