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.

In my opinion, if you want to prepare for UPSC or any other competitive exams later, you can pursue a BA in Political Science, Economics, History, or Sociology. Since their syllabus is heavily equipped with GK, Indian and world history, public policy, public administration, Indian and world politics, it'll be easier for you to strengthen your base.

A General BA course will give you a basic idea of the subject and a base knowledge. But a BA Hons course will provide you with in-depth knowledge in a specific area. The difference between a BA and a BA Hons is their depth, difficulty, and focus.
For example, you'll find the curriculum of a BA Hons course including thesis, practical, project, and research. That's why a BA Hons is relatively difficult. Also, there might be some additional conditions during the BA Hons course admission.

A lot, I would say. Be it teaching, civil services, railway, banking, you name it. If you already have a mindset on a specific field, prepare for it; otherwise, explore options that are suitable for you.
You can become a teacher, prepare for competitive exams like IPS, IFS, IAS, or for IBPS (PO, Clerk, SO), SBI (PO, Clerk), RBI Grade B.

Of course, it will. See, if you pursue a UG degree course in a subject, it will give you the base knowledge of it. But opting for a master's course in that particular subject will give you the in-depth knowledge + practical exposure. You'll probably complete an internship during your MA and might also land a campus placement offer.
