CUET

Good question — CUET subject choices don't lock you out of professional programs like BBA or Journalism.

 How CUET Subjects Work

• CUET requires you to attempt at least one language + domain subjects + general test.
• You chose English, History, Political Science.
• For BBA/Management programs, most universities look at English + General Test scores.
• For Journalism/Media programs, they usually consider English + General Test, sometimes with weightage to humanities subjects (History/Pol. Sci.).

 Colleges Accepting Your Combination

• Delhi University (DU) – BBA (FIA), BMS, Journalism (Hons) → requires English + General Test.
• Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) – BA Journalism/Mass Comm → English + General Test.
• Amity University, Galgotias, Sharda (NCR) – BBA/Journalism → direct admission, CUET optional.
• Christ University, Bengaluru – BBA/Journalism → accepts CUET or its own test.
• Symbiosis (SCMC Pune) – Journalism → separate SET exam, but CUET English helps.

 Admission Prediction

 Bottom Line

• Your CUET subjects do not block you from BBA or Journalism.
• For BBA, focus on English + General Test score.
• For Journalism, English is the key subject; History/Pol. Sci. add weight in some universities.
• Private universities in NCR will admit you directly with Class 12 marks + CUET score.

NIOS dual marksheet (where a student has two sets of marksheets for Class 12 due to improvement exams or subject combinations) is accepted for CUET and university admissions, provided both are genuine and issued by NIOS.

 CUET & University Rules

• CUET UG Eligibility:
  • Any student who has passed Class 12 from a recognised board (including NIOS) is eligible.
  • Improvement marksheets or dual marksheets are valid, as long as they are officially issued by NIOS.
• Universities (DU, BHU, JNU, etc.):
  • They accept NIOS certificates for admission.
  • If you have two marksheets (original + improvement), you must submit the the latest consolidated marksheet or both, depending on the university's document verification rules.
• Verification:
  • During counseling, universities check the NIOS stamp, enrollment number, and authenticity.
  • If both marksheets are genuine, there is no issue.

 Practical Advice

• Always carry both marksheets (original + improvement) during counseling.
• If NIOS has issued a consolidated marksheet, use that as the primary document.
• Universities may ask for an undertaking that the latest marks are to be considered.
• CUET application requires only one set of marks (the latest), so fill in the improved marks.

 Conclusion

Yes, NIOS dual marksheets are accepted in CUET and university entrance exams for B.Sc (Hons). Just ensure you present the the latest valid marksheet and keep both handy for verification.
