Admission Criteria & Rules

Procedure for calculation of ‘Best Four’ subjects percentage for Honours Programmes:

• The merit shall be determined on the basis of one language and three best academic/elective subjects from LIST A.
• Out of three, academic/elective subject chosen above, one must be the concerned subject in which the admission is sought, failing which a deduction of 2.5% will be imposed on the calculated ‘Best Four’ percentage.

Note:

• If an applicant doesn’t include the subjects given in LIST A in ‘Best Four’, then a deduction of 2.5% of maximum marks will be levied for each subject for the purpose of calculating ‘Best Four’.
• All subjects to be included in the calculation of ‘Best Four’must have at least 70% theory component of exam. In case, the subject to be considered does not have 70% theory component and 30% practical component, then the marks of theory and practical only shall be converted to 70% and 30%, respectively on pro rata basis. These new marks will then be considered for calculation of ‘Best Four’.

OR

One Language from Part 1 of List C1 + any combination of subjects out of Part 2 of List C1, List C2 or any other subject (not listed either in List C1 or List C2). In such a case, the deduction of marks from aggregate percentage of ‘Best Four’ shall be as follows:

• For every subject included from List C2, a deduction of one percent in aggregate percentage of ‘Best Four’;
• For every other subject (not listed either in List C1 or List C2), a deduction of 2.5% per subject in aggregate percentage of ‘Best Four’

Note:

• All subjects to be included in the calculation of ‘Best Four’ must have at least 70% theory component of examination. In case the subject to be considered does not have at least 70% theory component, then the marks obtained in theory and practical shall be converted to 70% and 30% respectively, on pro rata basis. The marks so arrived at will then be considered for calculation of ‘Best Four’.
• The applicant must have studied and passed Mathematics/Business Mathematics at the qualifying examination for admission to B. Com. (Hons.).
