Students enrolled in the B.A. General course at LPU are required to choose a combination of subjects that typically includes core courses, discipline-specific electives, and generic electives. While the specific number can vary slightly based on the semester and program structure, students generally select three main departmental electives that they continue to study throughout their program. Additionally, they must take a combination of foundational courses like English Communication Skills and Environmental Studies, as well as skill-enhancement courses. This structure allows for a broad and interdisciplinary education while also permitting some degree of specialization based on the student's interests.

hi, In a B.A. General course, students usually study multiple subjects instead of specializing in one. The exact number depends on the university, but the general pattern is: Students typically choose 2–3 core subjects from different disciplines (for example, History + Political Science + Sociology). Along with the core subjects, they may have to take compulsory papers such as a language (English/MIL), Environmental Studies, or skill-based/vocational papers. Across the three years (six semesters), these subjects are studied simultaneously, allowing for a broad-based education. So, most students end up studying 3 main subjects + compulsory/skill papers throughout the program.
