Admissions to BA (Honours) programmes in most central, state, and reputed universities in India generally begin after the Class 12 board examination results are declared. In recent years, especially for central universities like the University of Delhi, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Banaras Hindu University, and others, admission is conducted through the CUET-UG (Common University Entrance Test). The CUET application process usually starts between February and March, while the entrance exam is conducted around May–June. After the declaration of CUET results, universities release their admission schedules, counselling rounds, and merit lists, which typically take place from July onwards. Candidates are required to register on the respective university admission portals, select their preferred BA (Hons) programmes and colleges, and participate in counselling or seat-allocation rounds. Therefore, students aspiring for BA (Hons) should regularly check the official websites of CUET and the universities they are interested in, keep all academic documents ready, and apply within the announced deadlines to avoid missing out on admission opportunities.

Admissions for BA (Hons) generally start after Class 12 results, mostly between May and July. For central universities, applications are through CUET-UG, so you should apply when CUET forms are released.
