For students looking to pursue B.A. (Hons) English through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG 2026, selecting the right language is crucial. The Class 12 Rule, implemented by Delhi University (DU) and other central universities, requires students to have studied and passed English during their Class 12 board examinations. If English was not a formal subject, students will be disqualified from the program. To maximize admission chances, students must select English from Section 1A (Languages) on the CUET application form, and also choose at least three core subjects they are currently studying in Class 12 for Section 2. While the General Test in Section 3 is optional for DU, it is recommended for other universities. If students fail to meet the English requirement, they can consider other central universities or different B.A. programs.
