Hello,
I am studying English Honours under Punjab University but I want to change my stream and pursue M.A. in History. I have studied History as a general subject during my Graduation. Is this kind of change of stream advisable?

In many universities the eligibility to study M.A in History is a graduation in History or History as one of the subjects in the graduation from a recognised university.

But in some universities the eligibility to study M.A in History is a Bachelor’s Degree. The duration of the course is 2 years. The aspirant can study the course in universities like

• IGNOU - http://www.ignou.ac.in/ignou/aboutig...s/detail/121/2
• Annamalai University - http://www.annamalaiuniversity.ac.in...rgl&course=014
• Periyar University - http://www.periyaruniversity.ac.in/w...015/04/elg.pdf
• Madras University - http://www.unom.ac.in/uploads/admissions/pgcourses.pdf

But it is always advisable to study the same subject, so that you can pursue your career in the same line.
