Courses available for Arts & Humanities Students in Delhi University.

Let us talk about the courses Arts and Humanities students can opt for in Delhi University. Nowadays students with arts background think that they have a very limited number of courses available for them as they chose humanities, but that’s not the truth my friends. Come let’s explore together the 24 courses which are open for arts students, not only from humanities stream but some options from commerce, science and management stream as well.

We all know that admission now to DU is through CUET. And there are 3 sections in CUET.

SECTION A is language specific test

SECTION B is domain subject test and has two parts- B1 & B2,

In B1 there are ALL CORE SUBJECTS like history, political sciences, maths, economics, psychology, social science, sociology, and legal studies

And in B2 there are ADDITIONAL SUBJECTS like physical education, and fine arts, and performing art.

SECTION C comprises of a GENERAL TEST.


Now students think and often get confused about which combination is required for which course? Some courses require maths whereas some require English as a mandatory subject. Which combination of subjects is best for which course? Come let’s talk about the combination of courses available and their eligibility as well.

Let’s start with courses offered by Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, very first is BA, CUET gives you two options to enter in this course- any one language from section 1, two subject from B1 category and one from B2 or B1, and option two is Any one language in section 1, any one subject from the B1 or B2 and write the general test.
