Hi,
Let me tell you that I am not a History expert, but I am stalwart of those who study such subjects for I did neither have courage nor a mindset to study them. Since you have, feel honored!
Now talking about the prospects for you:-
Please Teach History: If you are interested in the subject and more than that, if you enjoy it, please reciprocate your love for the subject by teaching. I have never had a teacher who could make me like it and now when I get to read so much about the past, it seems like a huge loss. We need good teachers!
Research: Post this, you could always go for a PhD and get into research of ancient artifacts and sculptures. Or you could get into fossil study and all that. This is again a very interesting and boundless field.
Write: History gives you a countless account of wars and debacles. Use them and write fiction. Or you could always give accounts of specific people. I recently studied a book on Chanakya, and boy did I love it! There are innumerable people in the past and you could write about all of them.
Study other Subjects: What I think would help you the most is reading other subjects as well. Arts make you intellectually profuse, but to be able to relate it to the mundane scenarios, you do need an eye for a holistic image.
Change the frame: Since you know history better than a lot of people, tell them what actually happened. Or maybe another side of something that is a prevalent thought among people. For example, we know how Invaders came to India and spoiled everything. But, somehow I feel there were a lot of positives to that as well. You, my friend, are in a good position to point them out.

When it comes to the admission in BA History Hons, students are highly rush for getting admission in University of Delhi. Because it offers a wide range of top notch faculties with other facilities. The good colleges in Delhi University of doing BA History Hons are:
(1) Hindu College.
(2) HansRaj College.
(3) Sri GuruTeg Bahadur (SGTB) Khalsa College.
(4) Miranda College.
(5) Kalindi College.
(7) Ramjas College.
(8) Aatma Ram Sanatan Dharm college.
These are the some pioneers college in Delhi University for history Hons. But out of these I would like to vote for "Hindu College". Because it is ranked as the 2nd Best college (in overall ranking) in Delhi university after SRCC. This college has 100+ books in their Library especially for history students. It has fully Wi-Fi equipped campus for E-Learning. It has the beat faculties for this department and what not. So, I'd prefer for Hindu college. However its cutoff is quite high (ranges from 95%-99%). Hope this helps.
Best of luck.

Hello,
History is a very important and interesting subject of study. It's offered for graduation in almost all the universities across India. Some subjects vary in each state but many of the subjects remain the same. The different subjects that are taught at undergraduate level are: History of ancient India, History of modern India, History of USA, history of USSR, history of Europe, world politics, English, sociology, etc.
This is the general list of subjects. At some places, some special subjects may be added. In the final year, students have to select some optional subjects out of the bouquet provided.
History is a subject which does not see changes on a day to day basis. But, of course, when there is a change of political party in the central government, there is invariably a glamour for change in contents and it indeed is affected.

I would like to suggest you to opt for political science over history. Although history is also not a bad option but the way career in political science is increasing, it made me say this. If you have studied political science as a subject in your graduation or post graduation level, you have plenty of options available besides being a politician. In the government sector, a wide range of government occupations, from urban planning to legislature to intelligence bodies, are available for those with a major in political science. It is a common belief that political science graduates are all just made for politics and govt. agencies, but that's not true. In India, with this degree, you can make your career in journalism (You can prepare political reports, articles, blogs and interviews for print and online publications, as well as television and radio broadcasts), or can do research (you can write UGC-NET exam. After clearing it, you will be eligible to work as lecturer and pursue Ph.D side by side). Hence, by opting for political science, you can have almost any type of job provided that you must have to be dedicated to your studies and choose your college wisely. Hope this helps.
Best of luck.
