Eligibility
An applicant to the Honours arts degree at Marian College Kuttikanam should have passed the Class 12 examination of a recognised board; most main subjects accept candidates from any stream, while a few expect the subject itself, or a closely related one, to have been offered at school. Places are awarded on merit from a rank list built on the qualifying marks, weighted towards the subjects that matter to the chosen discipline, with reserved and community seats filled as notified in Kerala. Because the honours route carries a research component, the college may also look at an interview. The qualifying bar is set separately in each admission cycle.
About Bachelor of Arts [BA] {Hons.}
The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) at Marian College Kuttikanam, Peermade, concentrates on a single humanities or social science discipline, taking a student further into it than a general arts degree does and adding research training on top of the core papers. Alongside the main subject, students take complementary and elective courses, language papers and skill components, and the honours track normally requires a supervised dissertation or a substantial project, so a graduate leaves able to frame a question, gather material and defend a written argument. The college stands at Peermade in the Kerala high ranges, and fieldwork and study visits often draw on the plantation and tribal settlements around it. The degree suits students aiming at postgraduate and doctoral study, teaching, public service examinations, publishing, policy and development work, or communication roles.
