Hello,
You are eligible for a UG degree in Ethics if you have completed your class 12th from a recognised board. Students from all streams can go for an Ethics course degree. It is not necessary to study Ethics or Philosophy in class 12th if you want to pursue it.
Most colleges have a minimum eligibility of at least 45% marks in 12th board exams. Additionally, colleges may give admission based on merit or through scores in entrance exams like CUET.

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!
