What are the minimum marks required to get admitted to Calicut University for a BA in English literature?
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.
Can a student who is waiting for the supplementary exam result be able to apply for post-graduation at Calicut University?
At Calicut University, to be eligible to apply for a post-graduate course, one must have completed the undergraduate course and provide proof of completion in the form of a Degree Certificate. A Provisional Certificate would suffice as well.
If you are awaiting the results of the Supplementary exams, you will be unable to produce the Degree Certificate and thus will be ineligible to apply. This is based on the assumption that Supplementary Exams indicate that you did not pass a specific paper.
However, if the exams are Improvement Exams, the situation is different.
What percentage is needed for an MA in English at Calicut University?
A minimum of 55% in your UG degree is required to get admission to Calicut University MA English. There is an entrance exam where 50% of your score in the Entrance Exam and 50% of your score in your UG are weighted in determining your rank-list position.
Admission is based on an Entrance Test and Marks for the BA degree, as opposed to other colleges where admission is based solely on your BA score. It will give you a better chance if you work hard enough on the text.
It is strongly advised that you pursue your MA at Calicut University's English Department. The faculty is excellent and approachable, and there is some leniency in your optional papers.
