Eligibility
Entry to the Bachelor of Arts at Marian College Kuttikanam is open to students who have completed the higher secondary stage, Class 12, in any stream, though a particular main subject may ask for that subject or a related one to have been studied at school. Admission is generally by merit: the college prepares a rank list from the marks of the qualifying examination, giving weight to the subjects relevant to the chosen specialisation, and applies the reservation and community categories notified in Kerala. The cut-off differs from one main subject to another and is fixed afresh each year, so the college notification is the document to go by.
About Bachelor of Arts [BA]
The Bachelor of Arts at Marian College Kuttikanam, Peermade, is an undergraduate degree in the humanities and social sciences, taken with one chosen main subject supported by complementary papers and a common set of language and foundation courses. Whatever the specialisation, a student spends the degree reading closely, arguing in writing and working with evidence, through essays, seminar presentations, small field or archival exercises and a supervised project. The choice of main subject decides the shape of the syllabus, so an applicant should check which subjects the college is admitting to in a given cycle before applying. It suits students who prefer discussion and interpretation to laboratory work, and it leads to postgraduate study, teaching, civil services preparation, journalism and content work, social development organisations, and administrative roles in business.
