Is it possible to get admission in Archaeology if I am not from the arts stream? What is the overall eligibility criteria for admissions?

Yes, sure you can take up archeology as an undergraduate course at this level. The eligibility to pursue this course is that the candidate should pass 10 (+2) exam or higher secondary exam from a recognized board. It does not matter that you do not belong to arts stream at your 12th level. So don't get depressed and start your career with a new enthusiasm. Archaeology is a career for those who have an acute interest and training in culture and history. It is preferable for candidates to have a background of ancient history and culture. The basic eligibility criteria for Bachelors course in history/ archaeology (I.e BA level) of three-year duration, is 10+2 or equivalent. After graduation one can opt for a post graduate Diploma or degree course in archaeology. Graduates in history in any stream with an aggregate of 55% marks can apply for Diploma, Postgraduate Diploma or post graduation (MA/ M.Sc.) in different fields of archaeology. Duration of these courses may vary from 1 year to 2 years. Admission to the two year post Graduate Diploma course at the Institute of Archaeology, the academic wing of the Archeological Survey of India in New Delhi, is on the basis of a written exam and an interview.
