Hello, I am an Arts student, studying in 12th standard. I will do BA after completing my 12th. Can you please tell me about the specializations available ion BA which would be job oriented? Please help me to know about this. Thank you!

Bachelor of Arts can be pursued in different disciplines like History, Geography, English, Political science etc. You can select any stream or specialization depending upon your interest. In private sector, there is hardly any scope for B.A candidates. Teaching or government jobs are considered the best job opportunities for BA candidates.

After B.A course, you can pursue Master of Arts Course to become eligible for NET exam for lectureship and fellowship. You can apply for exams like Civil Services, Banking exams, SSC CGL based on bachelor's degree to get good government jobs.
