Political Science

The CUET PG 2024 cut-off for DU will be between 200-250 marks depending on the subject and college, while that of JNU is likely to be between 250-280 marks for M.A in Foreign Languages. The cutoff for general category will be higher than for OBC/ SC/ ST candidates. For example, in M.Sc Botany at BHU, you can expect a cutoff around 210-215 for GEN category and 170-185 for OBC category. So getting into top universities like DU, BHU and JNU with 82 raw marks in Political Science can be a challenge, as the cutoff required for Political Science is much higher. However, one should wait for the official cutoff notification from the universities and look for other universities which may have lower cutoff for Political Science.

No, it is unlikely that you will be admitted directly to the Jindal School of Government and Public Policy (JSGP) B.Sc. programme (probably B.Sc. Economics). They have a competitive, merit-based admissions process for undergraduate programmes. For undergraduate programmes, its website lists a three-step selection procedure that includes examination of applicants, faculty interviews, and selection using scholarship applications. The goal of this approach is to evaluate applicants with a diverse range of experiences. The JSGP website makes no mention of a different direct admission quota for B.Sc. programmes. This implies that they give academic excellence top priority during the standard admissions procedure.

There may not be much precise data available for B.Sc. placements, despite the Jindal School of Government and Public Policy's (JSGP) excellent placement service. The public policy postgraduate programmes are the emphasis of JSGP. It is a relatively new programme, the B.Sc. (probably B.Sc. Economics). For B.Sc. grads in particular, it may be difficult to find comprehensive placement reports. The university website states that jobs for B.Sc. graduates are generally available in the public, private, and social sectors, as well as in development projects and civil society organisations. You may come across more comprehensive placement reports for JSGP that feature postgraduate students in addition to B.Sc. grads.

With a few things to keep in mind, O.P. Jindal Global University's Jindal School of Government and Public Policy (JSGP) can be a good choice for a bachelor's degree. Its strengths include its renowned faculty and exposure, research opportunities, and focus on public policy. JSGP boasts a well-regarded faculty and regularly hosts guest speakers. The school has research centers that could offer opportunities to get involved in research projects during your BA, and it offers a BA (Hons.) in Social Science with a strong emphasis on public policy issues. The BA programme is, however, somewhat limited. It mostly concentrates on public policy postgraduate programmes. Since the BA programme is relatively new, fewer data regarding alumni outcomes may be accessible than for more established BA programmes. Furthermore, the tuition fee is somewhat more than at some other Indian universities. So considering all these factors you can decide whether you want to take admission in JSGP or not.
