Archaeology

The University of Madras does not offer a B.A. in Archaeology. Its Department of Ancient History and Archaeology provides only postgraduate and research programs, such as M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. in Ancient History and Archaeology. For undergraduate studies in Archaeology, you would need to explore other universities that specifically offer a B.A. in Archaeology.

You need to have excellent research skills, the ability to work methodically, planning & project management skills, an interest in History & research, cultural awareness, and so on to become an Archaeologist. These skills will help you succeed in your field.

Why not! Many colleges offer admission to the BA in Archaeology course without entrance exams. Some popular examples are MSU Baroda, Maharaja's College, University of Mysore, Visva Bharati University, K J Somaiya Institute of Dharma Studies, HNBGU, etc. You can also opt for distance colleges. 

I feel it depends on that specific exam. Regardless of the exam's level, you should check its specific syllabus on the official website and prepare accordingly. Practice regularly, focus on clearing your concepts, and seek guidance, if possible.

Archaeologists can look deeply into specific aspects of human history and cultural heritage thanks to these specializations. People may decide to specialize in one or more of these categories, depending on the place, era, or kind of archaeological site of interest.
