Hey,
Choosing Humanities is completely okay if your goal is Army or defence-related careers, especially if you enjoy subjects like geopolitics and current affairs.
Political Science can actually be a really good choice because it helps in:
• CDS/AFCAT preparation
• Current affairs & international relations
• SSB interview discussions
• UPSC/SSC backup options
You can also take subjects like History, Geography, or Economics along with it since they overlap with defence exam syllabus too.
During college, try to:
• Join NCC if possible
• Stay active in sports/fitness
• Improve communication and GK
• Prepare gradually for CDS/AFCAT/NDA entries
And honestly, if you don’t enjoy heavy coding or advanced maths, Humanities can reduce academic stress and give you more time to focus on defence preparation and personality development.
