Gaurav Mishra · Accepted Answer

So, you're aiming for the M.A. in International Relations at South Asian University? Nice choice! It's a well-regarded program.

For the entrance exam, keep in mind it's out of 100 marks and split into three parts:

Part A : 20 MCQs (1 mark each), with negative marking (1/4th deduction).
Part B : Another 20 MCQs (1 mark each), same negative marking.
Part C : This is where you answer 3 out of 6 questions, worth 60 marks total. No negative marking here, so make sure to attempt all.

The exam will test your knowledge about South Asia's history, cultures, and political systems. Reading up on the region is super important. A good book to start with is India After Gandhi by Ramachandra Guha. Also, stay updated with current events, especially through newspapers like The Hindu .

Essay writing practice will be helpful, and make sure you have a solid grasp of what's happening around the world. General Knowledge is key!

Its a Question about your future!
