Internal transfers between BA specialisations are sometimes possible during the first few weeks of the semester, provided there is a vacant seat in the new course. GD Goenka University allows this only if you meet the eligibility criteria for the new major and get approval from the Dean of the respective school. However, because courses like Culinary Arts and Psychology have very different requirements and fee structures, it is much better to choose your preferred major correctly at the time of initial admission.

While the university accepts applications as long as seats are available, the main admission cycle for the BA usually closes by late July or early August.

The best time to apply for the BA programme is between January and March.
