Hello Yashika!

For both BA Hons Psychology as well as BA Hons Applied Psychology the best 4 are calculated as

One Language (Core/Elective/Functional)  For Ex: English.

After that you can select any three elective subjects  with a Deduction of up to 5 % on ‘Best of Four’ percentage incase the aspirant changes the stream to BA , from Commerce or Science stream to Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences.

Also, the subjects included for the calculation of ‘Best Four’ need to have at least 70% theory component . In case, the subject to be considered does not have 70% theory component, then the marks of theory and practical only shall be converted to 70% and 30%.

I hope your doubt is cleared. Incase of any more queries please ask us.
