Hi.
In raw marks (out of ~800):
Very good chance: 600–700+
Decent chance: 520–600
Borderline: below 500
BA LLB is competitive, so higher GT + English score matters a lot.
For BA (Programme) (NOT Hons)
You can apply for BA Programme in many universities.
Required Score
70–85 percentile is usually enough
Raw marks: 500–600+
For BA (Hons) Political Science / History (DU)
Not possible at DU, because:
You did not study Polity or History in Class 12
DU requires the same domain subject

Focus on BA LLB

Well, to become a doctor, Medical Anthropology is the only choice you have. You'll study how to address the wellness of people within the context of cultural, historical, and political forces.
Biological/Physical Anthropology and Forensic Anthropology are also great choices in my opinion, if you're looking for a pre-med field.

For the MA in Anthropology admission, the most important exam you can prepare for is CUET-PG. It is a national-level exam accepted by hundreds of top colleges across India.
Second, you can prepare for university-level tests if you have a specific college in mind and it conducts its own exam. Next, you can also prepare for state-level exams like Orissa SAMS, Andhra Pradesh PGCET, etc.
