Students targeting postgraduate admission at central universities should maintain strong academic performance throughout the BA programme.

Ans. GITAM Bengaluru’s Career Development Centre provides internship facilitation and soft-skills training for all UG students, including BA. However, corporate campus placement drives at GITAM Bengaluru are primarily oriented toward B.Tech and BBA students. BA students typically secure internships and entry-level roles through the CDC’s tie-ups, alumni network, and individual applications in journalism, NGOs, banking, government offices, and social sector organisations.

Ans. BA at GITAM Bengaluru requires a minimum aggregate of 50 percent in 10+2, which is lower than the 60 percent required for BBA at the same campus. Both programmes accept students from Science, Commerce, and Arts streams. This lower threshold makes the BA programme accessible to a broader range of candidates, particularly those from Arts and Commerce backgrounds with scores between 50 and 60 percent.

Ans. GITAM University has adopted NEP 2020 guidelines, and undergraduate programmes including the BA are structured to align with the four-year UG framework and multidisciplinary learning objectives.
