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. Admission doesn't require a mandatory entrance test, although CUCET can help secure scholarships if you choose to take it. This makes it easy for humanities students to transition into Fine Arts and build careers in areas like illustration, advertising, and creative media.
