    Hi,
    The basic eligibility criterion for pursuing M.A Philosophy is having a graduation degree in any stream.
    However, many of the reputed universities demand graduation degree with Honors in Philosophy or Philosophy as one of the subjects studied in graduation from any of the recognized college/university.
    Some even ask for a minimum of 45-50% marks in graduation as qualifying criteria to secure admission in this course and some also conduct an entrance examination.
    You can also choose diploma courses such as:
    Diploma in Philosophy
    Diploma in Reasoning

    Any graduate can pursue MA Philosophy. Delhi University has set up an eligibility criteria of above 60% for other streams and above 55% for Philosophy stream candidates, and so do some other Universities too. Syllabi might include classical and contemporary domestic and western philosophy, Philosophy of religionh, Advaita, Yoga and so on .
