B.A.(English) Hons is a very popular course in <st1lace w:st="on"><st1laceName w:st="on">Delhi</st1laceName> <st1laceType w:st="on">University</st1laceType></st1lace>.

Hello Mallika
Yes, it is true that from this year onwards, Delhi University is going to award B.Sc (maths) Hons degree.
For students belonging to Humanities background, there are subjects like History while for students with a Science background, there will be practicals in Physics and Chemistry.
The step allows Humanities students to qualify for a B.Sc degree. Some colleges which offer Maths (Hons) in Delhi University are Hindu College, Ramjas College, Jesus & Mary College, and Shyama Prasad Mukherjee College.
Best of luck, Mallika.
