After the publication of the merit list for the second round or thereafter, the candidates existing outside the list may be asked to register to ‘SHOW INTEREST’ for future admission in subsequent rounds. The next merit list, in that case, would only comprise applicants who have expressed their interest. Every time there is a fresh call for ‘SHOW INTEREST’ a candidate has to make a fresh registration for ‘SHOW INTEREST’, even if she/he had registered earlier. Registration in a previous phase of ‘SHOW INTEREST’ will not be valid for the next phases of admission. Similarly, not showing interest in one phase does not disqualify a candidate from showing interest in future rounds.

3. Eligibility for Admission to the Honours Courses

I) Admission Qualifications:

A candidate who has passed the Higher Secondary (10+2) or its equivalent examination is eligible to seek admission to the First Semester of the Six Semester B.A./B.Sc.(Honours) Course of studies provided he/she has also passed in English having full marks not being less than 100.

However, no candidate, in general, shall be allowed for admission after a lapse of more than 3 years from the year of passing the previous qualifying examination.

The year of admission shall not be taken into account while calculating 3 years from the year of passing the previous qualifying examination.

For the purpose of determining eligibility for admission to the Honours Course, aggregate marks shall be calculated by adding the marks of top four subjects in order of marks secured by a candidate. However, marks in compulsory Environmental Education/Studies shall not be taken into account for calculation of aggregate marks. If the subject “Environmental Science” is studied as an elective subject of 100 marks, it may be taken into account for the purpose of determining the aggregate marks.

II) Eligibility Condition: A candidate taking up Honours Course in a subject must have obtained: i) A minimum of 50% marks in the aggregate and 45% marks in the subject or related subject at the previous qualifying examination. OR ii) 55% marks in the subject or related subject at the previous qualifying examination. OR iii) 50% marks in the aggregate when the candidate has not studied the subject in his/her previous qualifying examination provided all the other clauses are satisfied.

Candidates belonging to the Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe Community taking up Honours Course of study must have obtained a minimum of 40% marks in the aggregate and 40% marks in the subject or related subjects at the previous qualifying examination, as the case may be.

However, if in any Honours subject, the number of applications are so low that even the permitted intake of the college cannot be filled up, then the Principal may use his/her discretionary power to reduce the minimum requirement for admission in that subject.
