Answers to Your Career and Admission Questions

No, IPMAT and NPAT are entrance exams for BBA itself, taken right after 12th. Once you finish your BBA, you'd move on to an MBA through CAT, XAT, or CMAT instead. If you're planning to do a BBA first and then management studies, those MBA entrances are your next step.

This is such an exciting choice. The stream you pick really depends on what subjects interest you and what you'd like to do after 12th. Some students love science and problem-solving, others prefer numbers and business, or writing and humanities. Take a quick look at what draws you in class right now: is it the lab work, the calculations, the stories and ideas, or something else? That's usually a good clue.

DU admits through CUET UG, not board marks. Your CUET score is what gets you in, though your 12th marks have to meet a basic eligibility cutoff set by each college. Since you're in PCB, you can apply to many DU programs like BA, B.Sc, BBA and law courses, depending on which CUET subjects you pick. Each program has its own subject combination requirement, so check what each one needs before you choose your CUET subjects.

CUET is the Common University Entrance Test that gets you into central universities like Delhi University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and Banaras Hindu University for undergraduate programs. It's open to students from any stream. You take it after 12th, and your CUET score is what matters for admission, not your board marks.

PCM opens up several exam options. For writing and creative fields, CUET UG works for journalism, design, psychology and liberal arts programs. Law needs CLAT. You could also explore engineering through JEE Main if any tech or product design angle appeals to you, but it's not a must for creative careers.
