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.

Nevertheless, all languages have their own utility and applicability but still, I would recommend you to follow 'Spanish Language'. Its syntax, grammar and even the words are similar to that of English. That's why, it is considered as the easiest language to learn. My suggestion is to look at the job market and see what jobs are out there that require more than just your native language/s and English. Then, decide which one fits what you have in mind. You might want to choose a language that is in the highest demand and pays the best by the businesses in your area. In India, Spanish, is in more demand because of its outsourcing. Many of the companies are setting up their operations in Spain, hence, they will need you. Many businesses like Travels & Tourist requires language translators who are very fluent in these languages so that they can translate those particular foreign languages into native language to facilitate the tourists. Spanish is the most widely speaking language throughout the world after English. Hence, it is in demand. Rest, depends upon your interest.
I hope this helps.

As far as a foreign language in India is concerned, University of Delhi is proven to be the best so far. DU conducts various diplomas courses in foreign language in some of its colleges which has very high market value. Many foreign missions based in Delhi also run courses in their languages, which can be pursued part-time by aspirants. The certificates that you will get from DU is completely verified. Here, you will get the world class national/international faculties to teach you a specialized language. Here, some of the faculties also have great foreign experience in that particular field. So, getting admission in Delhi University for a foreign language should be your first option. But, if you are not eligible for Delhi University, you may consider Amity University, Noida campus as your second best option because the brand value of Amity University is increasing nowadays.
Best of Luck.

Sociology covers human behavior, cultures, trends and phenomenon. The scope ends at individual human behavior, psyche and personalities. That's where psychology takes over.
I once had a sociology professor tell me I couldn't put in my research that a participant was upset at my research question, because I wasn't qualified to know if they were angry. As a double major in psychology it was clear the participant was angry. In psychology I could make this distinction, but sociology avoids explaining how the human brain works in social explanations.
Sociologist (also psychologist) George Herbert Mede made an analogy once about studying the trees or the forest to compare sociology and individual human behavior. Although sociology does explain human behavior and the environments influence, psychology tends to focus more on how the brain is affected by these interactions.
In the end, my personal opinion is that sociology has a very large scope and psychology tends to narrow it down a bit.
