Hi aspirant,

Yes, you can do a philosophy degree from a recognized university, if you have passed 12th standard from a state board or any other government approved open schools like NIOS with the minimum eligibility marks. Then you have to fulfill the other eligibility criteria of the college. Language is not a problem. You can shine in any language with your hard work.

Hope it helps.
