Firstly, in order to study BA in college you don't need to be specifically from humanities background in your intermediate, anyone and everyone from any stream can pursue BA in any college across the world. And now coming to your query, it is not a compulsion to have sociology as a subject in class 12 in order to study it in college, Delhi University in your case. Plus you are from humanities stream so it will be easier for you to study sociology. And I can assure you that because even I am from humanities stream and I didn't have sociology in class 12 but currently I am studying sociology as my core subject in college.
Delhi University offers two types of undergraduate courses, first BA (Hons.) and second BA programme, all of which are for 3 years and divided into 6 semesters. In BA Hons. you will be doing specialisation in 3rd year in any one core subject that you choose and hence get degree for the same, for example: BA Hons in sociology. In BA programme you will be doing major in 3rd year in any two core subjects that you choose and will get the degree for the same, for example: major in sociology and history. Though BA programme is available only in few colleges.
Sociology is the scientific study of development, functioning and structure of human society and their interaction with each other. In BA you will study origin and relevance of sociology as a science in world context and also sociology in Indian society.
Here is a list of top colleges in Delhi University for studying sociology:
1. Hindu College
2. Janki Devi Memorial College
3. Jesus and Mary College
4. Kamla Nehru College
5. Lady Shri Ram College
6. Maitreyi College
7. Miranda House
8. Sri Venkateswara College
The rankings of colleges may vary every year. And the cut off list will be released by the respective collefes after the board results are out. Cut off list of Delhi University is usually very high and the seats get full till 2nd list comes out. Few colleges may give you disadvantage of 1-2% if you don't have sociology in intermediate but that happens rarely and is not a major problem. The average fees for BA in DU is around Rs. 15000.
I hope this information is useful, if you have any other queries then please ask without any hesitation in the comment section. All the best.
