This is a representative structure of how most six-semester Online BA curricula are organised under a choice-based or NEP-aligned credit framework. The actual subject list, credit weightage and paper names are set by each university and vary by the discipline you choose — check the syllabus published by the university you shortlist.
Curriculum structure by university
The core BA syllabus is broadly common because UGC entitlement requires parity with the on-campus programme. What actually differs between universities is the elective load — how many specialisation subjects you get, and in which semester the track begins. Use the table to see which universities give you the widest elective choice for the same duration.

Online BA FAQs
It is the Bachelor of Arts degree studied through a university's online mode, with digital classes, study material, assignments and university-specified examinations. The degree is awarded by the university itself.
Validity depends on the university and on the regulatory entitlement or approval that applies to that specific programme for your admission period. Verify the status for the exact university, programme and academic year before enrolling.
Recognition is programme-specific, not universal. Check the university's UGC entitlement status for the online mode, for the BA specifically, and for your admission year, rather than assuming it from the university's overall reputation.
Three years across six semesters in most programmes. Some universities publish a maximum permissible duration that allows completion over a longer period under a credit-based system.
A pass in 10+2 from a recognised board, in any stream, is the common requirement. Minimum marks and any subject-specific condition are set by each university.
Fees are set by each university, so the range is wide. The university comparison on this page shows the published figure for each programme in our dataset, and marks anything we could not verify as "Not specified".
Not sure which Online BA to pick?
Compare the universities above on fee, entitlement status and specialisation, or talk to a counsellor who will walk you through the shortlist. No cost, no obligation.
