JMI Persian Entrance Pattern at a Glance

Section A

40 MCQs × 1 Mark = 40

Step 1 – Build Persian GK

Study Iran, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Persian history and culture.

Step 2 – Prepare Authors & Poets

Create short notes on major Persian and Urdu literary personalities.

Step 3 – Learn Important Books

Use the pattern:

Author → Book → Period → Contribution

Step 4 – Practise Short Answers

Write 100–200 word entrance-oriented answers on major personalities and topics.

Step 5 – Revise MCQs

Practise factual questions about Persian-speaking countries, literature and culture.

Step 6 – Take Mock Tests

Combine:

40-mark MCQ Practice + 60-mark Descriptive Practice

JMI B.A. Persian Eligibility

Under JMI’s latest 2026–27 admission structure, B.A. (Hons.) Persian requires a Senior Secondary School Certificate or equivalent with:

not less than 45% marks in aggregate

OR

50% marks in the subject concerned

subject to the complete university eligibility conditions.

Candidates should verify the 2027–28 prospectus when released.

AMU B.A. Persian Admission

Aligarh Muslim University has a long-established Department of Persian.

AMU currently lists Persian at the undergraduate B.A. level, and its Department of Persian reports 15 seats for its undergraduate programme.

Students targeting AMU should follow the university’s admission rules for the relevant session rather than assuming that the JMI B34 entrance syllabus applies to AMU.

AMU Persian Preparation

Depending on the officially prescribed admission route, useful preparation areas can include:

• Persian Language
• Persian Literature
• General English
• General Awareness
• Current Affairs
• General Aptitude
• Indo-Islamic Culture
• Aligarh Movement
• Persian Cultural Heritage

The exact test/subject combination should always follow AMU’s current admission guide.

AMU Department of Persian

AMU’s Persian programme has academic relevance for students interested in areas including:

• Persian Language
• Classical Persian Literature
• Indo-Persian Literature
• Persian Culture
• Translation
• Historical Research

The university’s Persian department also identifies career-related areas such as government services, foreign affairs, broadcasting, museums and archives.

CUET UG Persian

Students searching for “CUET Persian” should distinguish between:

1. Persian as a CUET language/test subject, where offered in the applicable CUET cycle; and
2. Admission to B.A. Persian at a particular university.

CUET is an entrance-testing platform. The university ultimately determines:

• Whether it accepts CUET for B.A. Persian
• Which CUET papers are required
• Eligibility
• Subject combination
• Merit calculation
• Counselling procedure

Therefore, candidates should not assume that one CUET combination applies to every university.

JMI vs AMU vs CUET Persian Admission

Important: JMI Persian is NOT the Same as CUET

This distinction is important for students and for accurate admission information.

Under JMI’s latest admission schedule:

B.A. (Hons.) Persian – B34

was admitted through a JMI Entrance Test.

Therefore, students targeting JMI Persian should specifically prepare for the JMI B34 pattern, rather than relying only on generic CUET preparation.
