Hello there,

With a TG EAPCET (Telangana EAMCET) rank of 19,740, you have a fair chance of getting into good engineering colleges in Telangana, especially if you belong to a reservation category. Here’s how you can approach your options and selection:

Best College and Course Options:

• Use Category Advantage : During counselling, make sure to select your caste/category correctly (SC/ST/BC-A/B/C/D/E, EWS, etc.).

• Each category has its own closing rank, often much higher than the OC closing ranks.

• Use the official TS EAMCET counselling portal to check previous year cutoffs by category and region (local/non-local).

Hello,

You have completed an Integrated MA with a 3-year specialization in English Studies at IIT Madras.  While this provides a strong foundation in English, it may not directly align with the subject requirements for Environmental Science in the UGC NET.

If your research interest lies in climate change studies, enroll in a postgraduate program in Environmental Science, Climate Studies, or a related field to meet the eligibility criteria. You can also consider other examinations or certifications that align with your current qualifications and research interests.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hello,

With a score of 185, you have good chances of getting into AUD. In 2024, the CUET PG cutoff scores for MA English at AUD for General category candidates were:

• Round 1: 168
• Round 2: 154
• Round 3: 147

Delhi University (DU) is renowned for its MA English program, with expected CUET PG 2025 cutoffs ranging between 200–215 for General category applicants.   Given your score of 185, admission to DU might be challenging. Ambedkar University Delhi (AUD), on the other hand, offers a progressive curriculum with a focus on interdisciplinary studies, critical theory, and contemporary literature.  It emphasizes small class sizes and interactive learning, providing a conducive environment for in-depth academic exploration. So, you should go for it.

Hope this helps. All the best!

Hi Moin!

Studying pure science in Tamil medium is possible and accepted by many colleges, but national exams like JEE/NEET are mostly in English, so you’ll need to improve your English technical skills later.

Hello there,

If you have chosen Physics and English in CUET UG, you can apply for courses related to those subjects, such as:

• For Physics : B.Sc. (Physics), B.Sc. (Physical Sciences), or related science courses.

• For English : B.A. (English), B.A. (Literature), or related arts/humanities courses.

To get admission in B.Sc. Physics , universities usually consider your overall CUET score rather than just the Physics section score. However, some universities may give weightage to subject-specific marks, so it depends on the university’s admission criteria.

It is important to check the specific university’s guidelines for admission and cutoff details.
