No, based on the eligibility criteria, you wouldn't be eligible to apply for the IIT JAM program in Geology with a graduation degree in Geography from the University of Calcutta.

The minimum qualification for the JAM Geology (GG) program typically requires a Bachelor's degree in Geology or a related field for three years/six semesters. While Geography is a related field in terms of studying the Earth, it focuses more on human-environment interactions and social aspects, differing from the focus of Geology on the Earth's physical structure and processes.

The JAM Geology program delves into subjects like Petrology, Mineralogy, Paleontology, which require a strong foundation in the core principles of Geology. A Geography degree might not have covered these specific areas in sufficient depth

Several universities offer Master's programs in Geography with specializations like Environmental Geography, Resource Management, etc. These programs might be a good fit considering your background. Some universities offer integrated M.Sc. programs in Geology or Earth Sciences. These five-year programs are designed for students who haven't studied Geology at the undergraduate level.

Based on the information available for IIT JAM 2024, applying for Geology with a Geography degree from Calcutta University might be difficult.  IIT JAM requires candidates to have a Bachelor's degree in Geology or a related field for three years/six semesters. This could include subjects like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biological Sciences alongside Geology courses.

Your graduation is in Geography, a distinct field from Geology. While there might be some overlap, it likely wouldn't fulfill the specific Geology course requirement for JAM.

Having a degree in Economics won't hinder your pursuit of Archaeology.  .It's commendable that you are following your interest in history and archaeology. While Economics is valuable, a career fueled by passion can be very rewarding.

Many universities and colleges in India offer diploma courses in Archaeology. These programs typically last for one or two years, depending on the institution. Since you have a diploma in Mechanical Engineering (though with a backlog) and higher secondary education with History and Geography, you'd likely be eligible for most Diploma in Archaeology programs. They might require a minimum percentage in your higher secondary exams, so check with specific colleges.

Your Economics background can be surprisingly beneficial in Archaeology:

• Data Analysis: Archaeological research often involves analyzing large datasets from excavations and surveys. Your Economics background could be an asset in this area.
  
  
• Resource Management: Archaeology projects require budgeting and resource management skills, which your Economics knowledge can help with.
  
  Choose the Right Program: Look for Diploma programs with a strong focus on fieldwork and research. Many programs include practical components like excavation simulations or archaeological site visits.
  
  Highlight Your Interests: During the application process, highlight your passion for fieldwork and research in your statement of purpose.

No, your B.A. Geography and current M.A. in Geography likely wouldn't make you eligible for the IIT JAM Geology or BHU M.Sc. Geology entrance exam.

IIT JAM typically requires a Bachelor's degree in a relevant science field like Geology, Geophysics, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, or Environmental Sciences. While Geography might touch on some related topics, it wouldn't be considered a direct equivalent for the Geology program. Similar to IIT JAM, BHU M.Sc. Geology entrance exams often require a Bachelor's degree in Geology, Geophysics, or other allied earth science subjects.

Yes, you can potentially do a B.Sc. in Chemistry even though you didn't have Physics and Math in your Class 12 subjects. However, the specific eligibility criteria might vary depending on the university or college you're applying to.

Most universities require a minimum percentage in Class 12 science subjects (often including Physics, Chemistry, and Biology) for B.Sc. programs. However, some colleges might consider your performance specifically in Chemistry.

Some universities might require you to take an entrance exam for B.Sc. Chemistry admission. These exams might assess your knowledge of Chemistry and basic science concepts.
