After 12th you can study BA English, Psychology or Economics
While BA is a generalized education about various subjects related to arts, BA (Hons) mainly focuses on in-depth study and research on only one particular subject.
Most of the boards have released the 12th results. The life of a student begins after the graduation from the board exams. From choosing a subject of his/her choice to taking admission in a college and preparing for further examinations in the fields of engineering, and medicine, a student becomes more and more busy. While many opt for CUET, NEET and JEE exams to get admission in the college of their choice, others pursue BA, BSc or BCom degree and pursue their favorite subject.
If you had humanities in 12th or want to take arts as your favorite subject in college then pursuing BA or BA (Hons) degree will be beneficial for you. But before you choose any course in college, it is important that you choose the subject of your choice and not because of any external pressure. Often students study courses they are not passionate about just because of peer pressure. But, in the long term, it will do more harm than good.
There are also many job opportunities in Bachelor of Arts courses that you may not be aware of. But before that let us look into the major difference between BA and BA (Hons).
