    To prepare for IAS after clearing class 12th you should do BA and take political science, geography and history as your subjects. This will help you in IAS and in optional, you should take political science which will help you in mains. But, you should do BA from that university where attendance is not mandatory.

    Hello,
    Before taking admission in any institute, you can also start preparing it by yourself by purchasing the study materials, magazines, be regular updated about current affairs, get monthly magazines, etc.

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.
