Hi,

Eligibility Criteria for M.A. in Bengali

The following are the minimal requirements for students seeking an M.A. in Bengali from an Indian university:

A bachelor's degree in arts from a reputable university is required.

Students interested in Bengali language and literature and those interested in maintaining and expanding the language are eligible for admission.

Bengali must have been a major topic in the applicant's undergraduate degree.

For the course, students should have excellent speaking, reading, and writing of Bengali.

All the best !
