Hello Aspirant

The eligibility criteria for taking admission to an MA English program is that you should have a credited degree from a UGC-recognised college/university with 50% to 55% aggregate or the optimum number of credits from your bachelor's degree. Your subject of hons is of no importance for it. You may have a degree in Science from your previous institution, or you may have been studying science since your 11th grade, but it would not hinder in you from getting admitted to the MA English program.

One of my classmates from the MA English was a triple major in Botany, Zoology, and Chemistry and was doing an English master's. So your previous degree will not be a problem if you pursue an MA in English.

Hope this helps
