Once you complete a course in international business, you can get into the below-mentioned careers:
- Indian Foreign Service
Considered a prestigious service to be part of, the Indian Foreign Service is one of the best possible options for an individual wishing to pursue a career in international relations. Along with earning lucratively, one can also gain a lot of exposure by serving on behalf of the nation in various countries on deputation.
In order to be part of the Indian Foreign Service, one needs to clear the Civil Service examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission and subsequent rounds. Once absorbed into the service, the Ministry of External Affairs conducts intensive training before deputing officers within the country and subsequently to other countries on behalf of the nation.
- World agencies and international NGOs
A large number of not-for-profits work across the world on a wide variety of issues. It is important for them to understand the countries they are working in to be able to devise effective interventions. Consider the United Nations.
The United Nations is a world body engaged in activities ranging from peacekeeping to funding developmental projects in fields such as education, healthcare and so on. Being a multilateral organization with the presence in several nations, the United Nations recruits professionals with qualifications and experience in international relations to be able to effectively understand local government policies, prevailing political/economic conditions.
- Multinational business houses and world bodies
The trade world is literally without borders as more and more companies/business houses are setting up shop in countries across continents. Similarly, changes in policies/political conditions/economic climate or even natural calamities affect businesses all over the world and not just in countries where they take place. Organisations like the World Bank, business houses operating in multiple continents and even governments of countries recruit professionals with expertise in international relations/law/trade etc to be able to analyze and interpret events accurately and plan/re-plan their strategies accordingly.
- Journalism
As mentioned repeatedly through this entire article, globalization has impacted all sectors and journalism is no exception. Reporting, be it politics, economics or any other subject, has never been simple but has grown all the more complex today.

In arts, Lady Shri Ram College is the best, so I guess, English honors is the best. The faculty is better here at DU.
I have completed my honors degree from DU, and where it excels is the exposure a student gets, you will meet students from every nook of the country and cultures, try to absorb all that you can. As a literature student reading is your duty, read as much as you can, write whatever you can, push yourself, participate in extracurricular activities and that's all.
On an informal note, even English at Jadavpur University is considered best. So decide on others factors, like what after English and placements, which places suits you best.

Yes, sure you can take up archeology as an undergraduate course at this level.

Archaeology is a career for those who have an acute interest and training in culture and history. It is preferable for candidates to have a background of ancient history and culture.

Other Modalities - There will be two sets of multiple choice questions on Language comprehension. The sets will be available in two languages - English and Hindi and candidate can answer either of the set but not both
An entrance exam is conducted separately for both the faculties.Its one of easiest exams. In the faculty of arts, there are 120 questions which are compulsory for everyone. You have to choose either English or Hindi to answer in section B which consists 30 questions. So that makes it 150.
+3 marks for a correct answer and -1 for a wrong one. 0 for an unattempted one. It is an overall 450 marks paper.
Questions are easy except that bio section which has usually 20 - 25 ques. One who has not studied bio in 10+2 would find it very difficult. The score of 15/60 is very good. But even if you leave that section thoroughly still you could top the exam.
Around 25 questions are asked from mental ability, logical reasoning and elementary mathematics Level of these questions remain very ordinary and a little practice could make you able to score 100%. Avoid overconfidence.
25 to 30 questions are from history (mainly history of India). Questions are straightforward and factual in nature. Go through higher secondary level books of history. Even if you remember 20% of what you have studied, a score of over 80% is very achievable. A little interest in history and you have qualified the exam. Very scoring section.
Questions from geography and constitution along with economics have a weight of anything between 20 to 25. Knowledge of 10th level would be sufficient or you can just go through any good book of GK like Lucent or Chronicle.
Rest of the paper consists questions from current affairs, latest sports events, general science etc. This is the pattern for faculty of arts.
Faculty of social sciences follows a bit different pattern. Their questions are divided in history, economics, political science and geography. Questions are a bit harder than that of arts. Now, I am not going to repeat all that of arts.

Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) is one of the best colleges for an undergraduate and post-graduate course in India. This college was established in 1969 by the central government.
Now see the mistakes student do during preparation and while giving the exam:
1.While preparing for the exam, always keep the syllabus is in your head so that you can check what you have to study and what you have studied till date. This will help you in not studying more than the syllabus.
2. Always check the pattern of the exam before attempting the exam as this year JNU has introduced negative marking. Be prepared for this from home so that in the exam hall, you don't need to worry.
3. Always follows the exam instructions in the exam hall because a small mistake will cost a lot in exam hall so read the admit card carefully as all the instruction are mentioned on it or on the exam question booklet.
4. Always check your admit card to know what all is needed or allowed in the exam hall. There is no need to carry anything which is not in use for you or not allowed in the exam.
