Of course, those who have completed an intermediate-level vocational course can apply for a BA Sociology. This is because an intermediate vocational course is considered equivalent to Class 12. They should have secured at least a 50% overall score in their vocational course. Pursuing an Arts degree with a Sociology specialisation enhances the candidate's employment prospects.

Yes, you can apply for BA Sociology course after completing Class 12 in Science stream. BA Sociology like most Humanities courses is open to students from all streams. So, your stream in Class 12 does not matter. Though, most students who apply for BA Sociology are from Arts background. It is not necessary that you should have studied Sociology in school. But if you want to explore, you can go through NCERT books of Sociology for Classes 11 and 12

The scope of environmental sociology in the modern world is wide as it focuses on various areas such as ecological aspects, conservation of natural resources, pollution, impacts of the human population on the environment, etc.
Some of the major issues related to the environment nowadays are global warming, ozone depletion, deforestation, disposal of wastes, and desertification. The growing problems highlight the need for more attention towards this area.
