In next semesters the students will be given freedom to choose courses to specialize i a particular stream such as journalism, Education, Historical Tourism, Counseling, Art and Design.

Students of humanities can pursue career i different fields. Also, they fit into a variety of job roles. Students of this stream have several options for higher education. They can opt for more specialized subject in their field or shift to an allied field.





In fact students of humanities often pursue studies in more than one subject. Later, they fair well in any field they work. Even in fields of engineering and management, professionals with background in humanities and social sciences are respected. For instance, when hiring for a management role, recruiters prefer a candidate with degree in both anthropology and management studies, over candidates with only a degree in management studies.



This is because the candidate has better people skills or communication skills, or interpersonal skills and his approach to various situations is different from that of management graduates.

So, if you are really interested in humanities (or humanities and social sciences) and want to work in that field, you should go for it. But before you take this crucial step, make sure you know what kind of career you want to pursue, the path that leads to that career and whether you are willing to give is required to succeed in the field.



In the field of humanities and social sciences it is the work which speaks for you. So apart from studies you should also gain some work experience before you complete the course.

Good Luck...
