Hello Aspirant

Yes definitely! Even if you are not an Arts/Humanities student in your high school, you can still opt for BA English Hons and become an English Professor.

All you have to do is go for BA Eng Hons from a good college, if they have a 4-year program, enroll in it because according to UGC's new guideline, you can appear for UGC NET (a centralized qualifying exam that you need to clear to become an Asst Prof.) in your last year of BA, but only if you have a 4-year graduation degree. Clear your UGC NET and start your PhD and alongside that, become an Asst Prof. The average passing percentage required for a General category student to pass UGC NET is 60%, and if you are aiming for JRF (Junior Research Fellowship) then score above 65% to be on the safer side.

Hope this helps
