B.A 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.

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.

Here are some of the top universities in India offering BA Archaeology courses through correspondence:

Yes it's a great college I studied in it for 2 years for BA Masters and its great college as well as the campus is good. Saint Xavier College Mumbai is very reputed college and has a great history. You can get admission in Ba archaeology there.

In and around Madurai, colleges offering B.A. Archaeology programs include Saraswathi Narayanan College and the Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU). Saraswathi Narayanan College has a Centre for Archaeological and Historical Studies, while MKU's School of Historical Studies offers programs in Ancient History, which often includes archaeology. 

It completely depends on you. A BA Archaeology course is more lenient towards a specific area of history rooted in cultural and civilizational preservation & research where BA History course define a wider area of history of India and the world considering all aspects of the past culture and human journey.

So, choosing a course completely depends on your area of expertise, knowledge, interest and choice of career path which you would like to acknowledge for the future.
