Hello,

Yes, you can do an MA in English after completing your BA LLB (5 years) course.

Your BA LLB degree includes a Bachelor of Arts component, which makes you eligible for MA programs. Most universities accept students from any stream who have completed a recognized undergraduate degree with good marks in English or related subjects.

So yes, you are eligible. You just need to meet the minimum percentage or subject requirements set by the university where you apply.

Hope it helps !

Hello,

Yes, you can do MA in English after BALLB (5 years). There is no restriction on graduation stream for most MA English programs; universities generally accept any bachelor’s degree. Your BALLB background won’t be a problem.

You may need to clear the university entrance exam or meet the merit/percentage criteria. Focus on English literature, language, and writing skills, as the course will test your understanding of literature, grammar, and communication.

Hope you understand.

Hello aspirant,

Since most MA schools allow graduates from any discipline, you can pursue an MA in English after earning a BA LLB.  Having a bachelor's degree from an accredited university and meeting the minimal aggregate score—typically between 45 and 50 percent—are the two main prerequisites.  Some universities may also require you to take an entrance exam in order to be admitted.

Thank you

Hello, Yes, you absolutely can pursue an M.A. in English after completing your 5-year B.A. LL.B. degree. The standard eligibility requirement for an M.A. in English is a Bachelor's degree from a recognized university.

Your B.A. LL.B. is an integrated degree that includes a full Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) component. This B.A. qualification makes you eligible to apply for postgraduate programs in the arts and humanities, including an M.A. in English, at most universities. You will likely just need to clear the specific entrance exam for the M.A. English course at the university you apply to.
