Yes, you can get admission to BA Political Science course after completing 12th standard with any stream. 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,
Mecca, Hindu College is the best.
The Annual Cultural Fest of Hindu comes to you this month from 25th-28th February. Mecca acts as a choir of various musical events, ranging from Sufi to pop and rock-n-roll, literary events, fashion shows, etc. to name a few. The past years have seen the grand success of the fest because of the participation of mind boggling number of students.
Crossroads, Shri Ram College of Commerce:
The largest cultural fest of DU that sees a footfall of over 10,000 people a day. With just a few weeks left for the fest, there is already a lot of conjecture around the campus as to which celebrity will burn the floor this time.

Being a part of a society in college has many perks. Apart from developing your personality and building up your resume, it also helps you in mastering the skill of teamwork. It makes your college life more fun and gives you memories to cherish forever. The much awaited DU Fest Season gives a platform to the passion-driven societies of various colleges to display their talent. Here's a list of the top 6 societies of DU (in no particular order):1. ABHIVYAKTI-The Dramatics Society of Indraprastha College: Abhivyakti was among the first few dramatics societies of DU. Their street play production Manmarziyaan had garnered the first position in most of the fests. They are known for tackling social issues in their own satirical and comical style which is prominent in their plays.
2. MISBA-The Western Dance Society of Sri Guru Gobind Singh College of Commerce: Their unique and comical style of dance makes the audience go crazy. They leave everyone including the jury, awestruck with their amazing moves and use of props. Misbas energetic performance strikes a perfect balance between swagger and swoon. Their production was a creative fusion of hip hop and contemporary styles of dance.
3. NAZAAKAT-The Folk Dance society of Gargi College: Nazaakats production was a mixture of resonating ghungroos and vibrant costumes. Through their elaborate choreography and expressions, they portrayed the tradition of worshipping Lord Krishna.

5. PIXELS- The Photography Society of Hans Raj College: Pixels is one of the most prominent societies in DU. It was the first society in DU to ever host a photography exhibition in Indian Habitat Centre. The Young Minds was a three-day photography exhibition held in February where various artists presented their marvelous and inspiring work.

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.

Hi,
Both the courses are totally different from each other.
A course in foreign language gives you a chance to learn about the language, culture and tradition of a particular community whereas, political science provides you an opportunity to learn about the political system. Therefore, you should pursue a course according to your interest.
Both the courses offer a wide range of career opportunities.
By pursuing a course in foreign language you can become a translator, teacher, freelancer and interpreter.
Many multinational companies hire people who have knowledge of languages such as French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, etc.
After BA political science you can do MA in political science and appear for UGC NET exam for Assistant professor.
You can do LLB and become a lawyer or you can also appear for Union Public Service Commission or State Public Service Commission exams.
You can also appear for management entrance exams and pursue MBA.
In a nutshell, you are eligible for all the entrance exams after both BA in foreign language and BA in political science.

Hi,
English Literature definitely has an edge over philosophy for sure. An English Literature or Philosophy degree qualifies you for any number of careers that have no specific skill set. Basically, it is a degree that assures potential. For instance, many people think you must have a degree to do job, but most entry-level jobs have such a steep learning curve that the need for a specific degree is obviated. Lots of English and Liberal Arts Major are doing jobs in marketing, communications, sales, etc.
All the Philosophy Majors, whom I know graduated in computer science. All the English majors who went to graduate school became lawyers or MBAs.
All the best.
