Yes, students from any stream such as Science, Commerce, or Arts are eligible to apply for the Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) program at Sir J.J. School of Art, provided they have passed the 10+2 or equivalent examination from a recognized board. There is no restriction that the student must have studied Fine Arts in school. However, candidates must demonstrate artistic aptitude through the MAH-AAC-CET entrance examination. Since the exam tests drawing ability and creativity, students without prior art training are encouraged to practice drawing, observation, and visual composition before appearing for the entrance exam.
