Ques. What are the minimum marks required to get admitted to Calicut University for a BA in English literature?

● Top Answer By Priyank Jaiswal on 29 Oct 22

Ans. It is determined by the number of seats available at the college. Calicut University does not conduct exams properly, and your grades will not be corrected. This means that the student who studies the best in class and the student who did not study for the exam get nearly the same grade.  The university doesn't even properly correct the papers. It's also evident in newspaper articles about the majority of students failing a university exam. Your semester exams will be held on an irregular basis. That is, if you are in the third semester, you may write for the first semester.  Furthermore, if you fail at some point in the third semester and all of the other semesters succeed, it will take years for you to pass the exam because the supplementary exam is not given frequently.Read more

In the case of English, below is a chart that includes the course name and code: BEGE 101 - From Language to Literature BEGE 102 - The Structure of Modern English BEGE 103 - Communication Skills in English BEGE 104 - English for Business Communication BEGE 105 - Understanding Prose BEGE 106 - Understanding Poetry BEGE 107 - Understanding Drama BEGE 108 - Reading the Novel You will notice that there are eight papers, each worth eight credits; students pursuing a major (Hons) should select any six of these eight papers (2 papers each year) Students can only take up to 48 credits in a single subject. Aside from the major papers, there are two compulsory courses in the first and second years: BSHF 101 and FST-1.
