Students are required to choose papers in accordance with the stream of their choice and are guided through this process by the mentors at CIC. For example, I have completed my second semester from Ramjas college studying 3 papers of political science honours and may be going to Hindu college next semester for studying other papers of my choice. A student of B.A. Honours Humanities and Social Sciences is required to study 4 papers from semesters II to V which include 3 theory papers to be taught at other colleges of Delhi University and one project paper to be taught at CIC under the guidance of the mentor.
