Hello, If you aspire to be a humanities faculty in India, your focus should be on the particular field of humanities. By a specific field I mean, Humanities is a vast area of study and no one can learn 100% of everything. But yes, a candidate can muster 100% of a niche field of study. One should make his/her foundation right and strong right from the first year. All the subjects should be very thorough and then after initial years, a candidate should be able to answer the filed he wants to pursue. There are many fields open for a candidate aiming to be a college coach for humanities. Some of the fields are listed below: - Service planning - Structure management - Resource Management - Behavior management - Agreement management - Media - Behaviour science - Human Resource Management There are a lot more fields for a candidate apart from the list above a candidate should pursue as per the interest. Thanks!
