Punjab University offers Bachelors in Arts (BA) for the duration of two years and exams are held at the end of Second Year. Candidates have to choose two elective subjects and one optional subject. The subjects of Psychology and Applied Psychology cannot be taken together. Candidates have to pass the Compulsory subject of Islamic Studies/Ethics and Pakistan Studies separately in the University Examinations.

The BA/BSc private candidates are now permitted to submit the examination forms for the subjects having practical portion.
