Well, it is not compulsory to appear for the CUET-UG exam for admission in undergraduate History courses but all the top universities and colleges in India provide admission either through CUET or conduct their university-specific entrance exams such as IPU-CET, JMI entrance, etc. So it is better to prepare for CUET and score good marks in the exam to become eligible for admission to various popular History courses at top universities across India.

Rest, you can also look for easy options to get admission on a merit basis in some of the private Indian colleges by paying high annual college fees. The choice is yours!

Yes, of course, you can opt for an undergraduate History course or a certificate course after securing 55% marks in your Class 12th board exams. For a BA degree in History, you will have to appear for any of the national/state-level entrance exams such as CUET-UG, IPU CET, or others and score good marks.

Talking about the certificate courses, both online and offline, you need not give any entrance exam and can directly enroll yourself in the course by filling the application form and paying the fees.

Dear aspirant, you can definitely pursue a BA in History or History Honors at Delhi University despite being a Science student. The only thing that you need to do is to get a good CUET score as the cut-off marks are quite high for some of the top colleges. Further, apart from selecting your Class 12 subjects, there may be an additional requirement for you to select History subject in the exam form for securing admission to the course. For example, to get admission to an Economics Honors course at Delhi University, candidates need to opt for Mathematics as one of the domain subjects in the CUET exam, regardless of the Class 12th stream.

You will have to appear for the CUET-UG entrance exam in the subjects you studied in Class 12, which takes place every year for admission to various courses at top Indian universities such as Delhi University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Jamia Millia Islamia, etc. Also, Stephens College, DU conducts an interview round after you get shortlisted through CUET.

However, if you wish to pursue the course on a merit-basis then you will have to explore other college options in India that do not require any entrance exam or face-to-face interview rounds.
