MG University B.S.W : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Yes, as per the NEP 2020 framework, MG University has transitioned to the 4-Year Undergraduate Honours Programme (MGU-GP) effective from the 2022-23 batch. The BSW programme is now offered as a 4-year honours degree across affiliated colleges, replacing the earlier 3-year format. Students earn an Honours degree upon completing all four years, and may exit with a certificate or diploma at earlier stages.

Ans. No, there is no separate entrance exam for BSW at MG University affiliated colleges. Admission is entirely merit-based on Plus Two aggregate marks. Candidates apply through the MG University Centralised Allotment Process (CAP) at cap.mgu.ac.in and receive allotment based on their rank in the merit list and the college preferences they submit online.

Ans. Yes, Indian candidates from outside Kerala can apply through the MG University CAP and compete for open quota seats based on Plus Two merit. However, only candidates of Kerala origin are eligible for reservation seats, community quota, and state-level fee concessions. Non-Keralite candidates are not eligible for mandatory reservation benefits but can be allotted under the general open quota.

Ans. Graduates can work in NGOs, community development organisations, child welfare agencies, rehabilitation centres, government social welfare departments, and corporate CSR divisions. Common job roles include community worker, welfare officer, social welfare counsellor, and field coordinator. Graduates may also pursue MSW from MG University or other institutions for advanced specialisation in areas such as psychiatric social work, medical social work, or rural development.

Ans. Yes. SC/ST students at government and aided colleges receive full tuition fee exemption, with balances reimbursed through the Kerala e-grants portal. Students from EWS backgrounds with annual family income below INR 4 Lakhs are eligible for fee concessions under the 10% EWS reservation. SEBC students with Non-Creamy Layer status are also entitled to concessions. Central government scholarships through the National Scholarship Portal are additionally available to eligible students.
