MA in History means Master of Arts in History. It is a postgraduate degree that focuses on the study of past events, societies, cultures, political developments and major changes across different periods. The course usually involves subjects such as ancient, medieval and modern history, historiography, research methods and regional or world history. At LPU, the programme can also help students build research, writing and analytical skills through academic work. These skills can be useful for careers in teaching, research, civil services preparation, museums, archives, publishing and other history related fields.

Yes, a BA History application can usually be submitted while the Class 12 result is still pending. The final eligibility is checked once the result is declared, so the required marks and subject conditions must be met. LPU also allows students to proceed with the application while awaiting their result, subject to the university's eligibility rules. It is better to keep the result updated when it is available.
