Hello Navami,

1. Cut-off marks can differ from year to year because of the number of students applying and the level of difficulty of the exam. Most of the time, universities or colleges release cut-off marks for different categories each year, so it is advisable to always check the respective institution’s official admission portal to understand the cut-off marks accurately.
2. Yes, most colleges and universities count marks subject wise, especially for certain course streams. For example, if the course is BA Economics, they would pay attention to a minimum percentage in Economics and other related subjects. On the other hand, Psychology might consider marks in Science or Social Science. Subject wise eligibility should be checked in the respective official guidelines.
3. There is no fixed number of seats available for BA Economics and Psychology in colleges and universities. However, colleges usually start off with a fixed number of seats for each course available to students in the specific academic year; these can range from 30 – 100 and depending on the subjects could be more. To get a better understanding on the exact available seat allotment, check the college’s official admission brochure or website.
