Hey,

It all depend on your interest which subject you really like the most.

Usually, SSC asks 5-6 questions from this section amounting to 10-12 marks.

BA history (hons)  involves the study of subjects such as History of India, Social Formations and Cultural Patterns of the Ancient World, Medieval World, History of Modern West, and the History of Modern Europe.

It will help to cover the required topics thoroughly.

But it is not necessary to opt for any specific degree as the exam include the general things about the subjects coming under the exam syllabus.So prepare accordingly.

Thank you!!!
