Government regulation of aided-course fees keeps BA and B.Com costs low. For professional and self-financing courses, including BCA, BBA, LLB Hons, MA English and LLM, the college sets higher charges within University of Lucknow guidelines. Self-financing courses are funded through student fees.

Shia PG College Admission Process

For most courses, students enter through Lucknow University counselling, the process used to allocate seats. The required qualification and selection method vary by course and study level. Direct applications are also used for specified self-financing programmes.

1. Check the qualification, subject and minimum marks required for the chosen programme.
2. Apply through the relevant Lucknow University admission route or submit a direct college application where that option is available.
3. Submit the qualifying examination marks and any entrance examination score required for the course.
4. Take part in the applicable counselling or direct merit selection process.

Entry Requirements for BA, B.Com and B.Sc

Applicants need to have passed Class 12 through a recognised board with an aggregate of at least 40 to 45%. Selection uses Class 12 merit, although University of Lucknow rules may also require a CUET UG score. Shia Muslim applicants receive preference for seats reserved under the minority quota.

Entry Requirements for BCA and BBA in International Business

A Class 12 aggregate of at least 45% is required for BCA and BBA. Mathematics is preferred for BCA applicants. Students can seek admission through Lucknow University undergraduate counselling, while self-financing seats may also be available through direct college applications.

Entry Requirements for LLB, LLB Hons and LLM

A recognised university degree is necessary for the 3-year LLB. LLB Hons has a 5-year integrated route for Class 12 students and a 3-year route for graduates. CLAT-based counselling uses CLAT UG scores, while some seats are allocated directly through merit. For LLM, applicants need an LLB degree with at least 50% marks and a CLAT PG score.

Entry Requirements for MA, M.Com and M.Sc

MA and M.Com applicants must hold a relevant undergraduate degree with an aggregate of at least 45 to 50%. For M.Sc, the qualifying degree must be a B.Sc in the relevant science subject. Lucknow University postgraduate counselling handles seat allocation, with direct applications available for self-financing postgraduate courses.

Course-wise Selection Routes

Shia PG College Placements

Banking, financial services and IT support provide most campus job offers. The placement cell supports graduating students in commerce, law, management and technology. Recent records put placement in professionally oriented streams at 60 to 70%, with HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Wipro and Concentrix among the recruiters.

Many students from the college's largely arts, law and commerce student body continue their education or prepare for government examinations and the judiciary. LLB and LLM graduates commonly work towards judicial service, practice as advocates or seek public sector legal posts instead of taking campus jobs.

Shia PG College Campus and Infrastructure

Academic departments are spread across the Sitapur Road and Victoria Street campuses, which together occupy 10 acres in Lucknow. Facilities include the law faculty, a commerce block, science laboratories and a central library with a substantial collection of humanities and legal books. Students also have access to a sports ground, a student union hall and a seminar room.

The Victoria Street buildings form a historically significant part of Lucknow's educational heritage, reflecting the college's century-old history. Neither campus provides a hostel, so students from outside Lucknow need private accommodation. Affordable housing nearby and the city's public transport connections help students reach both campuses.

Shia PG College Scholarships

Central and Uttar Pradesh government schemes provide scholarship options for students. Along with support for reserved categories, the college's minority status gives eligible students access to central minority scholarship schemes. Eligibility and benefits differ across the schemes below.
