Agra College BA: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. No. CUET-UG is not required for BA at Agra College. Admission is based on Class 12 aggregate marks through the DBRAU centralized process. Students who did not appear for CUET-UG 2026 or received a low CUET score can still apply using their Class 12 marks. Minimum eligibility is 45% in Class 12 (40% for SC/ST). This contrasts with central universities like AMU and BHU, where CUET-UG is mandatory for undergraduate admission.

Ans. Agra College offers 14 BA specializations. Confirmed specializations include History, Political Science, Drawing and Painting, and Music Vocal. In a typical DBRAU-affiliated BA, students choose three subjects and study them across all 3 years. Common combinations include History with Political Science and Geography, or Hindi with English and Sanskrit. Practical subjects like Drawing and Music have limited seats compared to theory subjects. The exact available combinations for the 2026 batch should be confirmed at the time of document verification at the college.

Ans. DBRAU releases a centralized merit list for all affiliated colleges, including Agra College, based on Class 12 aggregate marks. The first list is expected July 2026. Students not in the first list are considered in subsequent lists as seats open due to non-payment or withdrawals. Typically two to three merit lists are published before the session closes. Students who miss all lists have no waitlist and must apply again next session. Checking the DBRAU portal daily after the first list release is important to catch second-list openings quickly.

Ans. A DBRAU BA qualifies for master’s admission at DBRAU and other state universities, the most common path for students targeting MA History, MA Political Science, or MA Hindi. For civil services, the degree is fully eligible for UPSC, UPPSC, and state service exams. Teaching aspirants can pursue B.Ed after BA. The DBRAU degree is also recognized for government job eligibility including SSC, banking, and railway recruitment, though campus placements in the corporate sector are limited for BA graduates here.

Ans. UP Post-Matric Scholarship is processed annually at scholarship.up.gov.in. SC and ST students with UP domicile receive full tuition fee reimbursement, making the 3-year BA effectively free. OBC and EWS students receive partial support based on family income. Applications typically open after the academic session begins and close by October each year. Students must maintain 75% attendance as a mandatory condition. The scholarship amount is credited directly to the student’s bank account after the college verifies attendance and enrollment details to the state government.
