Hello, Yes, you can absolutely switch from B.A. to B.Sc. However, you are correct: you will have to start the B.Sc. program from the 1st year.

The B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) and B.Sc. (Bachelor of Science) are fundamentally different streams. The credits and subjects you studied in your B.A. 1st year (like History, Political Science, etc.) are not transferable to a B.Sc. program, which requires a completely different set of foundational subjects (like Physics, Chemistry, Maths, or Biology).

To make this change, you will have to drop your current B.A. course. Then, you must apply as a fresh candidate for B.Sc. 1st-year admission in the next academic session (e.g., through CUET 2026). You will also need to ensure you meet the 12th-grade eligibility criteria for the B.Sc. program, which typically requires a Science stream (PCM or PCB) background.

Hello,

Yes, it’s possible to switch from BA to BSc, but you’ll have to start again from 1st year, as both are different streams with separate subjects and syllabus. Your BA 1st year marks won’t be transferred to BSc.

You can take fresh admission in BSc next session through college or university admission form.

Hope you understand.
