Sarvajanik University MPA Music Vocal FAQs

Ques. Is a background in classical Hindustani or Carnatic vocal mandatory for admission to the MPA Music Vocal at SCOPA?

Ans. SCOPA’s MPA in Music is open to graduates with a BPA or BA in Music, covering both Hindustani and Carnatic traditions. A formal training background in one of these traditions strengthens an application, but the primary criterion is performance in the qualifying degree. Candidates with strong practical music training from recognised institutions are generally competitive.

Ques. What career options are available after MPA Music Vocal from SCOPA?

Ans. Graduates can pursue performing careers as concert vocalists, music teachers at schools or private academies, music directors for stage productions, and music coordinators for cultural organisations. Opportunities also exist in government music academies, Doordarshan, and All India Radio. A PhD or MPhil in Music is a further academic option for those interested in research or university teaching.

Ques. Does SCOPA conduct an audition or entrance test for MPA admission?

Ans. Admission to the MPA at SCOPA is merit-based, determined by marks in the qualifying degree. There is no separate written entrance test. Candidates are shortlisted based on academic performance, and the college may conduct an informal interaction or practical assessment at its discretion during document verification.

Ques. Can a student with a BA in a non-music subject apply for MPA Music Vocal?

Ans. Generally, a Bachelor’s degree specifically in Music or Performing Arts is required. A general BA in humanities without a music component is unlikely to qualify. However, candidates with demonstrable formal music training and a relevant undergraduate background may approach SCOPA admissions directly to confirm eligibility before applying.

Ques. What is the difference in fee between Year 1 and Year 2 of the MPA at SCOPA?

Ans. Year 1 total is INR 44,250 and Year 2 is INR 41,250, giving a programme total of INR 85,500. The difference of INR 3,000 arises mainly from a slightly lower tuition in Year 2 (INR 36,500 vs INR 38,500) and the absence of the one-time refundable security deposit in the second year.
