B.A. (Programme)
The B.A. Programme is interdisciplinary in scope and nature, aiming to give a holistic and comprehensive reading of different subjects and disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences. In the first year, a student will be required to do courses in English Language, an Indian Language and two Discipline courses. The discipline and language subjects chosen will remain the same through the three years. Besides Language and the Discipline courses, a student will also study a Foundation course in the second year and an Application course in the third year.
Of the total admissions to the B.A. Programme, seven seats are reserved for candidates offering Bengali as a subject option. To be eligible, applicants will need to have studied and passed Bengali at Class VIII level. Candidates are advised to fill up the separate pink-coloured form for this purpose. Candidates may also apply on-line by visiting the college website: www.kmcollege.ac.in
