Whether you get a Minor Degree Completion Certificate in History while doing B.A. (Hons.) in Political Science depends on your university's rules. Generally, a minor degree requires completing a set number of credits beyond just choosing it as a General Elective. Check your university's academic policy for confirmation.

Hello,

Here are the features of Indian History :-

You're considering colleges for BA Hons in Political Science with a minor in History. You want government colleges outside of Delhi University.

Here's my advice:

1. Panjab University, Chandigarh is a great option. It's a well-established university with a strong Political Science department.

2. University of Hyderabad is another excellent choice. It's a central university with a good reputation for social sciences.

3. Presidency University, Kolkata, is also worth considering. It's a historic university with a strong focus on liberal arts.

All three colleges offer a minor in History, and you can take it as a Generic Elective (GE) option.

Hope this helps!!!

Hello,

Yes, if you pursue Political Science (Honours) and consistently choose History as your General Elective (GE) subject across all semesters, it can be considered as your Minor subject, depending on your university’s curriculum structure. Many universities follow the Major-Minor system, where the Honours subject is the Major, and a consistently chosen GE can be recognized as a Minor
