No, you cannot pursue an integrated MA program after completing your BA (Honours). Integrated MA programs are meant for students who begin their studies right after completing their 12th grade.

These programs combine both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree into a single course, usually lasting around five years. The idea is that students complete their undergraduate and postgraduate education in one go. 

Since you have already finished your BA (Honours), you won’t be eligible for an integrated MA.

Instead, your best option would be to apply for a regular MA program, which generally takes two years to complete. Each university or institution will have its own admission criteria, so it's important to check the specific requirements of the MA programs you are interested in.

Both MA and MSc Home Science are post graduate degrees in Home management. Home Science identifies the ways and means to build up a healthy family life. The subject mainly focuses on the different aspects of food and nutrition, Child development, Textile industry, home welfare and so on. 

There exists only a marginal difference between these postgraduate courses. The main difference lies in the emphasis given to certain topics of study.
