B.A. in Public Administration Colleges in Tamil Nadu - Fees 2026, Admissions

Both are good subjects, but if your ultimate aim is to prepare for civil services then go for public administration. Recently, I have heard a lot about UPES – Dehradun BA public administration with IAS coaching embedded course. This is very reputed university and known for its unique specializes courses. You should definitely check it once if you have interest in public administration field.

Cut off depends on many things. Some are - difficulty level, the total number of candidates appearing, the number of available seats or vacancies & the reservation policy.
However  the score of 700 and above in your CUET UG is considered as a very good score and to secure your seat in various top colleges. Whereas, scoring below 500 can limit your options to some extent.
