Seeking Advice on Restarting Degree Without entrance exam like C-U-E-T in Affordable Government Universities in Delhi, Pune, or Bangalore

Hi everyone,

I hope you're doing well. I dropped out of university in Kolkata in 2021, and I'm now looking to restart my degree. I’m particularly interested in studying Political Science or history or other interesting non math intensive degrees at a government university in Delhi, Pune, or Bangalore. However, I am hoping to avoid taking the C-U-E-T exam as I haven't studied the high school syllabus for quite some time.

Are there any universities that offer alternative admission processes, such as merit-based admissions or their own entrance exams? I’m looking for affordable government universities, similar to Delhi University. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I really want to restart my education and reclaim the opportunity to do my degree, please help.

Thank you!
