Which has a better scope and why: History or Geography?

Both history and geography are good. It depends on your interest and the purpose. Most important is the teacher (I am assuming that you are receiving some coaching). The geography we studied was up to 9th class in school and we were always taught with a globe in front on the table. Geography is a very logical subject like mathematics and for a logical-minded person, the subject can be grasped with ease; it was also scoring. In my days, geography was not a subject in IAS examination. History was a subject in UPSC and was scoring too. So many Science students used to take history and international law as subjects for these All India Services examination. Learning history requires remembering dates, places, names, treaties, organisations, wars, etc. A good memory is an asset for any scholar regardless of the purpose for which he/she is studying history: competitive examination, degree or knowledge. I have always found history bulkier or more voluminous than geography.

Hello, Through history subjects, a student can go for teaching line. In geography, a student can join the weather forecasting department, journalism, teaching line, work in the survey department. Further, Masters study in geography gives more job opportunities to aspirants. Overall, both these subject have a huge scope. Both history, and geography are equally relevant. History teaches you about wise people, their thoughts, their actions that lead to victory or failure, and the development of the human race, its thinking, etc. Geography, on the other hand, can help you know about the earth. 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. 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. School of Education, LPU is a leading teacher education institution in northern India. The school offers courses from undergraduate to doctorate level. The courses are recognised by the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE) and the state government. The School has an enriched library with a huge stock of books, reference materials and journals (print as well as online), and modern lab facilities to support teaching, learning and research. The school is a life-long member of Global Educational Research Association (GERA), All India Association of Educational Research (AIAER) and Indian Association of Teacher Education (IATE). The School follows the NCTE model curriculum in its academic programmes. It also holds seminars and conferences at national and international levels. After graduating from B.A. Honours from LPU, there are a lot of job opportunities in various industries. I hope this helps. All the Best.

Geography and history are the two best subject of arts & humanities. It depends upon a student that in which field he/she wants to make a career. In history, the candidate learns about history of India and outside India but in geography, a student studies about climate, topography, soil, rainfall. Through history, one can easily crack civil service exam or Banks PO or Clerk exam as there is one section of history in these exams. In general knowledge questions, most part is from history. Through history subjects, a student can go for teaching line. In geography, a student can join the weather forecasting department, journalism, teaching line, work in the survey department. Further, Masters study in geography gives more job opportunities to aspirants. Overall, both these subject have a huge scope. It depends on the student in which field they want to make their career in.
