Is passing an entrance exam necessary for admission to M.A?

<p>The need for an entrance examination as a criterion for enrolling into Masters in Arts programs varies with universities and their respective programs. Most institutions for example will require students to sit for an entrance exam for some of the M.A programs, especially in the dominant fields of studies such as Psychology and English, Political Science among others. Such exams are often meant to test the knowledge and the aptitude of the candidates in the relevant area of study.</p><p>Yet, some universities allow candidates to M.A. programs based on the undergraduate GPA alone or other requirements, for example, interviews or writing samples. For instance:&nbsp;<br>- *Delhi University (DU) and other Delhi universities* usually conduct an entrance exam for admission into M.A. Political Science, M.A History or M.A. English whereas *English universities* may allow for admission based on the undergraduate degree class and without an entrance examination.</p><p>Please find an entrance examination requirement where applicable.</p>
