BA Philosophy is a theoretical and scholarly degree. There are many skills that are preferable if a student wants to pursue it in their graduation. Some of these skills are: creativity, curiosity, analytical mind, good writing and communication skills, a critical perspective, an understanding attitude, etc.
If a student does not posses these abilities, they should have an open attitude to acquiring these skills and learning about the Philosophical theories in depth.
Hope this helped you!

Being a humanities institute, activities are field-based. Many students go into research, teaching, writing, and even NGOs. Depending on the role, salaries can range from INR 20,000 – INR 40,000 per month. Some even dabble in journalism, publishing, or manufacturing. But it's more about desire than great reward. Networking and internships in the course help a lot in finding a good role.
