Hi.

• Educational Qualification: You must have completed your 10+2 (Class 12) or an equivalent examination from a recognized board.
• Minimum Marks: Most universities require a minimum aggregate of 45% to 50% marks in the qualifying examination, with relaxations for reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC/PwD).
• Entrance Exam: Admission to most central and top universities (like Delhi University) is based solely on CUET scores. Some private or state universities may use their own entrance tests or accept direct merit-based admission based on Class 12 marks. 

1. Check University Requirements: First, research and check the specific eligibility criteria and subject combinations required for B.A. (Hons) Political Science at your desired universities on their official websites or the CUET official website.
2. Fill the CUET Application Form:
   • Register and fill out the online CUET application form during the specified period (usually February-April).
   • Select the required subjects as per the university's program-specific criteria. For DU, this typically involves one language from List A, two subjects from List B1, and one subject from either List B1 or B2.
   • Pay the application fee online and submit the form.
3. Appear for the CUET Exam: Appear for the computer-based entrance test at your designated center.
4. Register for University-Specific Counselling (CSAS Portal): After the CUET results are declared, you must separately register on the admission portal of the specific universities you are applying to (e.g., the DU CSAS portal for Delhi University). This step is mandatory to participate in the seat allocation process.
5. Select Courses and Colleges: During the university registration/counseling phase, you will select your preferred colleges and the B.A. (Hons) Political Science program combination.
6. Participate in Seat Allocation: The university will release merit lists (cutoffs) based on CUET scores. If a seat is allocated to you, you must "Accept" it on the portal.
7. Document Verification and Fee Payment: The college will verify your documents (Class 10th and 12th mark sheets, photo ID, transfer/migration certificate, category certificates if applicable, CUET scorecard, etc.). After successful verification, pay the admission fee to confirm your seat. 

Hi.

• One Language from List A
• Any three subjects from Section II (domain subjects), with at least two from List B1
• All subjects chosen in CUET must have been studied by you in Class XII 

• You must take a History domain subject in CUET if you studied it in Class XII.
• You must take an Economics domain subject in CUET if you studied it in Class XII.
• If you did not study Economics in Class XII, you would select another subject you did study to fulfill the "any three subjects" criteria. 

Hi.

• Qualifying Marks: For the entrance exam (CPGET), the expected qualifying cutoff is generally 25% for General and OBC candidates. There is typically no specific qualifying cutoff for SC/ST candidates; they are eligible to apply after qualifying the exam at a basic level (e.g., scoring at least 20 marks out of 200 in previous years).
• Previous Year Ranks: The specific closing ranks for admission can vary significantly each year and are generally released during the counseling sessions for different affiliated colleges. Previous years' data suggests that competitive ranks are needed to secure a seat in the main Osmania University campus. 

1. Check the Official Website: Monitor the official TG CPGET website for the latest notifications, results, and counseling schedules.
2. Look for Counseling Details: The specific cutoffs (closing ranks) for each round of admission are typically published during the online counseling and seat allotment process.
3. Monitor Affiliated College Websites: Osmania University has several affiliated colleges, and the cutoff ranks may differ for each. Information might be available on individual college websites as well.
