Hi, Fine arts are offered by CBSE as a subject option, however, individual schools decide on the options they wish to provide their students. Do let us know which city you are writing in from so we can check if the schools there offer fine arts as a study option in class XI and XII. Else your brother can opt for subjects as per his interests, choice and strengths in class XII since there are no subject restrictions for admission to the BFA course. Bachelor of Fine Arts or BFA is an integrative course having duration of four years. The course requires natural skills such as sketching, drawing and visualization. There are no entrance tests for admission into BFA. However, prior to getting admission in any of the institutions in BFA one needs to sit for an aptitude test and on the basis of the test the final decision for admission is made. There are several options in the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree course and those are Painting, Sculpture, Illustration, Cartooning, Printing, Graphic Designing, etc. After successfully completing the BFA one can pursue a Masters degree in Fine Arts. Institutions in India offering a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree are Sir JJ Institute of Applied Art, Mumbai; University of Bombay, Mumbai; National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi; Kala Bhavan, Viva-Bharati, West Bengal; Andhra University: Colleges of Arts and Commerce.
