The students those who have completed the 12th standard in any discipline are eligible to apply for the BA Political Science course. So, after completing 12th standard in science stream, you are eligible to apply for BA Political Science course.As far as interest in political science is considered, what I think is not important. You are aspiration and interest in more important to select the course. So, if you are interested in BA Political Science, you can apply for the course. But, as per my knowledge it is not good for you to select arts stream in Bachelor's degree after 12th standard in science stream. If you are interested in engineering, doctor, pharmacist, technician, etc. then it's good for you to operate science or engineering in Bachelor's degree.

Hi,
The debating societies in DU ensure this personality enrichment and exposure in numerous ways, one of the most popular being, the outstation competitions. Participants are sent to college fests all over the country, where they get a chance to dabble in various formats of debating. Kashish Minocha, president of the English Debating Society of Sri Venkateswara College, says, Outstation events, especially in colleges of south India, are very important as each one has its own specialty. These events also act as ice-breakers for freshers, and help them foster relationships with the seniors.
Not only do the students excel at public speaking, but they are also better prepared at handling tough situations in life. It involves a lot of reading and learning. This added knowledge also helps us write exams, says Harshita Madan, member of QED, the debating society of Gargi College.
The societies also provide the comfort of close-knit friendships and familial bonding. Anubhav Chakraborty, president of the English Debating Society of Hindu College, says, these societies provide a sense of belonging, especially to outstation students, as you end up spending a lot of time together.
The best ones are mentioned below:
St. Stephen's Deb Soc
The English Debating Society of LSR College
The Debating Society of Kirori Mal College
Ramjas Debating Society

Distance or Correspondence degrees have been gaining lot of traction nowadays, but major missing with this mode of learning is practical exposure and live face to face as well as peer learning, major group participating activities which evolves values like Team Building Entrepreneurship and Leadership.
In my opinion, distance degrees are only recommended if you have suitable work experience of more than 10 plus years and you don't have time to quit your job or simultaneously pursue any degree.
It is always recommended to take up full time courses be it UG or PG, because only then you would receive in depth grasping of fundamentals and you can see an all-round development in all areas.
Undoubtedly, distance degrees add up your work experience while you're graduation is ongoing, but at the sake of partial learning and limited growth curve which is potentially degrades its value and is of least importance as you go up the ladder.
Half knowledge is always dangerous as the saying goes, is so true here.
Hence, correspondence or distance arts courses are definitely not recommended.
