hi ! my friend will be completing his second year b.a this year in may and he’ll get into final year from july and possibly complete his degree next year may 2016. i wanted to know if he can appear for this years prelims in august2015. thanks and regards
He will be in third year… So during ty (august) if his 21st year is running & his birth date is before august… Then Yes.
But if he clears prelims then for mains (december) he will need degree certificate… Without completing TY how he’ll get it…!
Tell him to start preparation Now onwards… At least read Laxmikanth 3 times… And ancient history…before TY ends. !
If he will get the BA degree in hand before appearing for mains, then yes.
Gven your scenario yes he can appear….!!!
So best of Luck to you and him!!!
