Archaeology

You can opt any stream like medical/non-medical science, commerce or arts for senior secondary education. After intermediate level go ahead with arts or science. I don't think any school provides archeology or anthropology as a major or optional subject in intermediate. But if you'll choose commerce stream you can go with science for Bachelor's degree. In my opinion choosing arts stream with history as majors will help you to get deeper knowledge. It would be of great help for your career.

Typically, archaeology falls under the humanities domain. Hence, you should be studying subjects such as History, Geography, Sociology, etc., in class 11th and 12th. However, it is not mandatory to study these subjects only. You can easily study science or commerce, and still, study history/archaeology in your under-graduation. You will be able to specialize in archaeology only at the Masters/Post-Graduate level (at least in India).

Hello Abhinav,
IGNOU has been established by an act of parliament and all its degrees are recognised by UGC and government. Hence based on the degree issued by IGNOU, one can definitely get job in government organisation including ASI.

I would suggest you complete class 12th with Science stream and score at least 60% marks. After that you can go for Bachelor in Archaeology B.Arch course from any university. Following entrance exam can be given to sit in archaeology course in India:
NATA
Apply on www.nata.inJEE Mains

MAH-AR-CAT
Apply on www.dte.org.in

Hi,
Unfortunately, in Germany, they require 13 years of education or so as they say. If you want to apply after 12th, then complete the first year of a B.A. Course in India and apply thereafter. You must also be highly academic since they are very competitive when it comes to admitting students specially international. Undergraduate courses are also taught in German language. You can consider applying to other countries like UK, USA, Netherlands and AUSTRALIA. It is always good to keep as many options available when it comes to university selection.

By far, the best college for architecture is considered to be Sir JJ College of Architecture. As it is a government college, all you need to do is to appear for JEE main paper 2 in order to get into that college and for other private colleges, you need to appear for NATA (national aptitude test of architecture). Go ahead and work hard. Good luck.

As per my knowledge, the medium for studies is English only. However, to get a better understanding on this you can contact the department itself. You can contact on the numbers provided in the link: http://www.nagarjunauniversity.ac.in/archprincipal.php.

You can go for courses like B.A. (Ancient Indian Culture), B.A. (Archaeology and Museology) and B.A. (ancient Indian history and archaeology). .
