Ba programme language requirement
Guys, listen. 😭
On the CSAS portal, when it asks you which languages you know for a BA Programme, it means you should have working-level knowledge of those languages. It doesn't matter whether you studied them in Class 12 or not. For example, I know Hindi, English, and Punjabi, so I'll select Yes for those three and No for the rest.
Now, coming to foreign languages... don't go around clicking Yes like a bunch of donkeys thinking, "We'll learn it in college anyway." 😭🙏 The portal is asking what you already know, not what you plan to learn.
Think of it this way: if you take English, nobody is going to teach you A, B, C, D. They'll assume you already know the basics and will start from a much more advanced curriculum. Similarly, for French, Tamil, Telugu, Sindhi, Punjabi, and the rest of the languages, they will not start from scratch. They assume you already know the fundamentals and will begin with a much more advanced curriculum.
So please don't act oversmart and end up chopping your own feet off with an axe. 😭 Choose only the languages you can actually read, write, and speak. If you tick a language you don't know, you're the one who's going to be in trouble later, not the portal.
One kid literally asked me, "I don't know Tamil... should I still select it?" 😭😭
BRO, ARE YOU OKAY?! 😭🙏 If you don't know Tamil, why on earth would you choose Tamil? How are you going to study the course if you don't even know the language? 😭
AB MUJHE KOI BHI DM NAHI KAREGAAAA!!!
