Various Universities offers MA in English. The admission procedure and eligibility criteria may vary. Just to provide basic idea, following is the procedure of admission to MA in English program from Delhi University:

Candidate seeking for Direct admission to MA in English from University of Delhi, must have completed the BA Honours [English] from the University of Delhi, with a minimum of 60% [General and OBC] and 55% [SC/ST/PH.] aggregate marks.

Candidates who have completed BA Honours [English] from Delhi University with a minimum of 45% aggregate marks or minimum of 50% aggregate marks of a Bachelor’s Degree from a recognized Indian University are eligible for admission through Entrance Test given one must score a minimum of 40% Marks in the Entrance Test conducted by the Department for General Category Candidates and 30% and above for OBC candidates . No minimum marks in the Entrance for SC/ST Candidates.

For detail information refer to the official website of the University Concerned.

The application deadline for the winter semester 2013/14 is 15 July 2013; for the summer semester 2014 (only for applicants transferring from other universities who have already accrued recognised credits for the Masters programme) it is 15 January 2014.

1. Procedure:

The initial prerequisite in the selection procedure is the final grade of your first degree. As long as this is 2.5 or better (or the equivalent thereof), you will be admitted to a 30-minute written proficiency test (C-Test). This consists of several authentic texts in which half of every second word has been removed and needs to be reconstructed by the candidate (Demo version - NB: it is not necessary to register on the Uni Münster homepage to do the demo version; simply click on weiter (continue) on the first page). The selection committee applies the results of the written proficiency test as follows:

77 to 100 points: candidate is accepted for the Masters programme in English Studies;
65 to 76 points: candidate is invited to a selection interview;
fewer than 65 points: candidate is not accepted to the Masters programme in English Studies.
The selection interview is held by members of the selection committee and lasts approximately 15 minutes per person.

The result of the selection procedure will be communicated to applicants in writing.

Unfortunately we cannot recognize any alternative language proficiency qualifications as a substitute for the C-test.

The C-test for the summer semester 2014 (only for applicants transferring from other universities who have already accrued recognised credits for the Masters programme) will be on Monday 10 February 2014 (time to be announced here), Multimedialabor, room 420a, Schellingstraße 3 VG.

NB: although the actual test only takes 30 minutes, it may be helpful to plan in some waiting time in case there is a large number of candidates.

Candidates who register for a C-test and do not turn up for the test at the stipulated date/time are deemed "not suitable" and are therefore not accepted for the Masters programme in English Studies.

Candidates who can convince the selection committee in writing that they are unable to attend the test for reasons beyond their control, will be given an alternative date. NB: this written notification must be submitted BEFORE the actual test date.

The result of the written proficiency test (C-test) will be published soon afterwards on a notice board (the exact time and place of publication will be given at the test). From this notice candidates will be able to see whether or not they are to be invited for a selection interview.

Repetition:

Candidates who are not successful in the selection procedure are allowed to repeat their application one more time at the next possible date, one year later (application deadline 15 July). A further repetition is not possible. Candidates who choose to repeat their application should note that a complete application needs to be submitted again by the stipulated deadline.

2. Application:

Applications for admission to the selection procedure for the Masters programme in English Studies should be submitted by 15 July (for enrolment in the following winter semester). In exceptional cases (i.e. students who have already completed one (or more) semesters of a Masters programme at other universities) candidates can also apply for enrolment in the summer semester in which case the application deadline is 15 January. Applications should be addressed to:

Institut für Englische Philologie, Master-Eignungsverfahren
Department für Anglistik und Amerikanistik
Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität
Schellingstr. 3
80799 München

The application should include the following:

a letter applying to be admitted to the selection procedure, including your name, date of birth, postal address, telephone number and email address: form (letter format) (PDF, 78 kB)
a curriculum vitae in tabular format
