Hello,
Geography offers several career options with numerous specializations.
-Cartography
-Survey
-Urban and Regional Planning
-Town Planning
-Remote Sensing
-Climate Change Analysis
-Geospatial Analyst
Depending on the area of specialization, geographers might work as forest managers or in agricultural or economic institutions or as demographers in govt. and research firms. A background of geography is also helpful for a successful career in the field of travel and tourism, particularly for travel Journalism. You can also work as climatologists, geomorphologists, GIS specialists, and hydrologists.
As mentioned above about the area of specialisations related to geography, I would justify the importance of pursuing a G degree in the same because a UG degree in geography gives you knowledge about all the fields associated with geography but a specialisation course in the stream of your choice will make you an expert and will help you in fetching more specific and highly paid jobs in the industry

Now the focus is shifting from proper trade to social change and its impact on the relations between the country.
The course now also talks about how finance works between countries. The concept of transfer pricing in the international relations is introduced as per the revised and new curriculum.

Hello,
Philosophy is the ability of the mind to put things in perspective. It's the ability to differentiate between nuances of similar thoughts. It's about ethics, it's about logic.
It's a very interesting and fascinating subject. The subjects that are taught at graduation level are Indian Philosophy, Western Philosophy, Ethics, Logical reasoning, Problems in Philosophy, Philosophy of religion, etc. The names may change from university to university but contents are similar. The aim of all these subjects is to give a solid grounding to the student to enable him to be perfect in ethics, logic and logical analysis.
This is one subject that has seen a great evolution in course contents. Advancements in neurology, various developments in thought processes have forced the authorities to keep on evolving the course content. Maybe because of this, it's one course that is nearer to modern times.

Hello,
Graduation in archaeology is offered in many universities and colleges across India. Fundamentally this course equips the student to decipher history by observing and analysing artifacts found during digging ancient sites.The curriculum primarily consists of an introduction to archaeology, museology, ancient history, ancient cultures, numismatics, record keeping, conservation of museums etc. In short, anything to do with the collection, display, analysis, preservation of ancient artifacts and of course knowledge of related fields like ancient cultures, ancient numismatics, etc. This is one programme where the contents are evolving even today. It's one continuous process going on for many years. Idea was to give young graduates all required knowledge in related fields to make them capable of handling each and every aspect pertaining to archaeology.

I would like to suggest you to opt for political science over history. Although history is also not a bad option but the way career in political science is increasing, it made me say this. If you have studied political science as a subject in your graduation or post graduation level, you have plenty of options available besides being a politician. In the government sector, a wide range of government occupations, from urban planning to legislature to intelligence bodies, are available for those with a major in political science. It is a common belief that political science graduates are all just made for politics and govt. agencies, but that's not true. In India, with this degree, you can make your career in journalism (You can prepare political reports, articles, blogs and interviews for print and online publications, as well as television and radio broadcasts), or can do research (you can write UGC-NET exam. After clearing it, you will be eligible to work as lecturer and pursue Ph.D side by side). Hence, by opting for political science, you can have almost any type of job provided that you must have to be dedicated to your studies and choose your college wisely. Hope this helps.
Best of luck.

Well, again distance learning program would get you a qualification for namesake, as that degree or Diploma doesn't have any practical implications. The Bar Council of India does not recognize it and so do the UGC doesn't not consider it at par with regular or even private courses.
The distance learning is available through many institutions in India, but that won't serve you results in real.
Also, you would not be treated as a law graduate for purpose of any civil services exams or government exams, unless you have another degree which is regular and recognized by UGC.
So, you do not have options in real after pursuing a distance learning programme in law and most importantly you can't even practice, as that degree is just a qualification on paper
So, for better future and career prospective I would advise you to take up a regular law course at any institute recognized by UGC.
