Yes ofcourse you are eligible. Go for it.

Yes, you are eligible. When you have completed your M.A. Through a UGC-approved university then you are eligible to appear for the UGC NET exam. If the university is not recognised by UGC and AICTE then that is a fraud university. Do not enter the college.

In my point of view, the research part of archaeology will be better than history as you will enjoy the process of learning things instead of learning only the textbook knowledge you will get to know the practical implementations as well.

Hello Nibedita Biswas, for doing Ph.D. one needs to pass entrance exam or screening exam for Ph.D. prescribed by concerned University. Your marks at UG or PG level do not matter much. Some universities allow M.Phil candidates to take up Ph.D. without any entrance exam. You just need to seek advise from registrar of your intended university. Best wishes to you.

Both are excellent colleges of DU. I suggest to go for Ramjas College.

History has good amount of share in civil service exam. I suggest you to analyse the subject wise share of UPSE CSE. You can choose History as optional for your Mains. It is a good option for civil services if the subject is interesting for you. Also History is helpful in prelims. Best wishes.
