Colleges in Delhi

No, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) generally does not allow lateral entry into the 2nd year of its B.A. (Hons) programs. Admission is on the basis of JNU Entrance Exam (now CUET-UG) at the first year only, which has a structured three-year curriculum. For undergraduate courses at JNU, lateral entry is rare.

In as much as that, the system is inclined towards continuous progression. There may be exceptions for particular cases (such as transfer students) but there was no general late lateral entry policy upto now so, you would have to start from the first year after qualifying via CUET-UG and meeting eligibility (10+2 with 50%+ marks).

Between IMI Delhi, IMT Ghaziabad, Great Lakes Gurgaon, and FORE School of Management, IMI Delhi generally ranks the highest due to superior faculty, international accreditations, and average placement packages standing at about INR 17-18 LPA.

IMT Ghaziabad is a close second-well known for marketing and one solid alumni network-placing around INR 15-16 LPA on average. Great Lakes-Gurgaon is strong in analytics and one-year programs-definitely worth INR 14-15 LPA; FORE School of Management-strong in finance-is located at INR 14 LPA. IMI Delhi would still be the best with respect to prestige and ROI, with IMT not far behind in terms of industry exposure. 

As a deprived Scheduled Caste (SC) student, you can apply for a scholarship at IGNOU under the SC/ST fee exemption scheme.

 IGNOU offers full fee waivers for eligible SC/ST students in undergraduate and postgraduate programs, provided you submit a valid caste certificate, income proof (typically below INR 2.5 Lacs annually), and enrollment details. Apply during admission or within the stipulated deadline via the IGNOU portal.

Without the scholarship, fees vary by program—e.g., BA is around INR 4,000-6,000 per year, payable at admission. With the exemption, you'd pay nothing upfront, but non-scholarship components like exam fees (INR 200 per course) might still apply.

Though some notable top alumni of the Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences (IHBAS), University of Delhi, do not find any mention in information available, the institute has graduated many whose accomplishments are helping take care of India's mental illness epidemic currently. IHBAS, formed in 1993, has created many different kinds of students who have emerged as therapists, counselors, and psychologists. These graduates are currently working on the front lines to provide treatment for mental health conditions throughout the nation. The emphasis by the institute on multidisciplinary patient care and intensive training in mental health, neuroscience, and behavioral Science has led to the development of well-trained professionals in these areas.
