HBK Overview

Arts and Humanities cover history, political science, sociology, psychology, philosophy, languages, anthropology and more. After Class 12 the common admission route is CUET-UG for central universities, plus state university merit lists. Top destinations include Delhi University, JNU, Jadavpur, Ashoka, Azim Premji University and Gujarat's MSU Baroda and Gujarat University.

Career outcomes are broader than parents often assume β€” civil services, policy research, journalism, UX research, HR, content, education, law (via 5-year integrated programmes) and the entire NGO/CSR sector. A humanities degree pairs especially well with a postgraduate qualification in management, design or law.
