M.A. at SRK University is a 2-year postgraduate arts degree offered across seven specializations in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Running since 2016, it offers 180 seats for 2026-27 admissions, open to B.A. graduates from SRK or other recognised universities in a related subject.

Eligibility
M.A. at SRK University lets B.A. graduates specialize in one of seven subjects — English Literature, Hindi Literature, Political Science, History, Sanskrit Literature, Sociology, or Public Administration — with Public Administration standing out as the university’s largest single arts postgraduate cohort at 60 seats, triple the intake of the other six specializations.
This makes M.A. Public Administration a notable option for Bhopal students preparing for civil services or government roles, given the subject’s direct overlap with UPSC/MPPSC exam syllabi and Madhya Pradesh’s status as the state’s administrative capital. The remaining six specializations run smaller, more focused cohorts of 20 seats each, suited to students pursuing teaching, research, or subject-specific academic careers.
All specializations draw from SRK’s B.A. combinations, giving students a direct undergraduate-to-postgraduate pathway on one campus without needing to transfer institutions for their chosen subject.
