Yes you can take an entry but it has to be a direct one since the entrance exams have ended henceforth choose a particular college that you want to study and then mail them and communicate with them to take direct admissions.

Yes you can but i think you should choose wisely because MA in history is a tough thing to study after BA and that too with a low percantage. Sry i didnot mean to hurt your sentiments but its a fact. Work hard.good luck.
