Amrita Deshpandey Posted On : October 29th, 2022
Research Scholar, M.Phil in English Literature, University of Calicut

Breaking down the MA English entrance exam pattern at Calicut University into different parts:

1. Questions with Multiple Choice Answers. There will be four options from which to choose. The questions will be of the same caliber as those found in UGC-NET examinations.

2. One-word answers, again of the UGC-NET type.

3. Short answers based on the BA syllabus

4. Essays based on the BA Syllabus, as well as General English Criticism and Theory. Beginning Theory by Peter Barry is a good place to start.

MCQs and one-word answers are extremely important because each question is worth one mark, and if you prepare well, you can easily gain a significant advantage from them. You must be familiar with the BA English course syllabus to get away with the questions asked in the entrance exam.

If I have Philosophy as an elective during bachelors, can i do a MA in Philosophy in the future?

AB
Aditi Banerjee Posted On : September 16th, 2023
Lives in Bangalore

MA Philosophy or Master of Arts in Philosophy is a 2-year postgraduate course that offers knowledge related to Schools of Classical as well as Modern philosophy. 

The minimum eligibility required to pursue this course is a bachelor’s degree from a recognized institute with philosophy or any related subject as the major subject. 

Yes, you can pursue an MA in Philosophy even if your Bachelor is unrelated to the field. However, you might have to portray the fact that you have the critical thinking skills to benefit from an MA in Philosophy. It’s even better if your Bachelor is in the humanities and social sciences rather than the hard sciences. So it would be a bit challenging if you had no background in philosophy, but having a BA in philosophy isn’t necessary.

Usually, an MA in Philosophy requires a writing sample that is at par with the ones submitted by candidates who have done a BA in Philosophy.
