What are the government job opportunities after completing a UG/PG course in History ?

Hello! Looking forward with History courses. These courses always comes up with a subject specialisation and each subject offers different prospective and career outcome. Not just pursuing the course will help, but choosing right academic partner also matters. Many government careers are open to History majors, including positions as Foreign Service officers in the State Department, intelligence analysts in the federal government, FBI agents, defense and prosecuting attorneys, judges, and Congressional aides. Choosing right academic partner is always a challenge. There are many universities that offer this course, but from my own personal experience, I would suggest Lovely Professional University. LPU proves to be the best academic partner for many students. B.A. From LPU is always talk in town. LPU School of Social Sciences and Languages is among the best language colleges in Punjab and India. Recognizing liberal arts education as the crying need of the global education system, the school exposes its students to theoretical rigour, fieldwork and research, along with social sensitization through opportunities to interact with and learn from the outside world.

Dear, Government job opportunities are huge when it comes to history as a subject. In India, if you are pursuing history at graduation level then you may opt for Dept. of Archeology (or ASI), or as a teacher in a government school based upon your ability and calibre. But if you are doing history at the postgraduate level then opportunity are vast. Here, not just you can work for the Department of Archeology, but you can work in any govt. university as a faculty of history. Apart from that, you can work as a research assistant in any govt. organization. Here, there are various universities which offer this course at UG-PG level like University of Delhi, Indraprastha University, etc. Hope you find this helpful. Best of luck.
