Don’t just emphasize on the high paying jobs you will get after completing course. Instead focus on what your interest and lifestyle you desire. That a particular undergraduate course will get you.

1. Bachelor of Arts Programme
Duration: 3 years
Major Subjects: English Linguistics, English Literature, Hindi and Hindi Literature, History, Geography, Economics, Political Science, Education etc.
Getting an admission to BA programme at any university in India is not much difficult. Also, the major subjects that you learn are not much exciting.
There hasn’t been much effort to make BA programme skill oriented. However, often lecturers and professors can be seen recommending students to take up skill development courses simultaneously.
We also agree with it.
BA programme is pretty much open ended. That do not get you any specialized skills and knowledge. Also, it is not job oriented.
Nevertheless, with BA programme you get lot of time to pursue professional courses. Also to explore variety of career opportunities, and opt for one. However, you will always need to put greater efforts to compete with other students from Honors and Specialized courses.
2. Bachelor of Commerce
Duration: 3 years
Major Subjects: Accountancy, Financial Management, Business Management, Business Laws, Economics, Computer etc.
B.Com programme is equally popular undergraduate course. But, it comes with added advantage of learning Accountancy, Business Management and Computers.
Moreover, it is somewhat job oriented course that can land you a job after completion. However, still you will need to put extra effort to compete effectively.
Many private universities offer multi-disciplinary B.Com course that are job ready. But, then fees are high for these courses.
You can always learn accountancy software with regular B.Com programme. As it will help you get higher pay package jobs after graduation.
But, getting an admission to B.Com course can be a challenge. As often merit list goes up to 90 percent in Delhi University. Nevertheless, with an average score of 65 to 75 percent you could get an admission to a decent college/university in India.
3. BA English Honours
Duration: 3 years
Major Subjects: History of English, Indian English Literature and Writings, Classical English Literature, Modern English Literature, Theatre, Shakespeare, English Novels, Poems, and Philosophy
Do English theater and literature entice and excite you?

Moreover, you could also get a job after course completion. As there’s a high demand for English experts in various industries in India and abroad.
