Of course, it is. It is mostly cost-effective, gives you higher education, increases job opportunities, and so on. It is not mandatory to pursue an MA right after a bachelor's course; you can gain some industry experience, and maybe then you'll realize if you really need to pursue an MA or not.

No, integrated programs are designed for students who have passed their Class 12. Once you have completed your bachelor's degree, you can directly apply for a master's degree. Integrated programs mean a combination of 2 degrees, for example, BA + MA, BBA + MBA, and BSc + MSc. So, the best option for you is to apply for an MA programme once you complete a BA degree.

Of course, you can. In fact, a master's degree is the first basic requirement for a PhD aspirant. No matter which subject you choose, a relevant master's degree from a UGC-approved university will be required to pursue a PhD.
For instance, if you have completed your MA in Psychology, then you can pursue a PhD in the field of Clinical Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Industrial-Organizational Psychology, and so on.

Yes, you can. But mostly top MA colleges in India will require you to provide entrance exam scores. For example, if you want to get admission to a DU college for an MA course, you'll need to clear the CUET-PG exam. There are some private colleges that offer admission on the merit system though.

The exact MA course eligibility is to have a bachelor's degree in any relevant discipline. Though these disciplines also depend on the MA subject you choose. Apart from this, you will need to check the minimum marks required by your desired college. Because marks and entrance exam scores can differ depending on the individual college.
