There are many combinations of subjects, such as Economics+English, Political Science+Philosophy, Maths+Economics, etc. Whatever combination you choose you will need to study that for the whole 6 semesters and you can’t change afterward.

IGNOU is better than DU SOL, for a BA General correspondence program. An IGNOU degree is better recognized in the country. You can get the online course materials easily from the official website. IGNOU has good lab facilities as well.
It conducts classes and examinations on time. You can get help from the faculties online regarding any course-related doubts.
Every college has their own cut offs presented by them. The cut off marks tend to decrease with consecutive lists.

For an average student the entrance exam is mostly easy. The test is of 100 marks and there is no negative marking. Here are some things you should know about it.
The questions will be based on General Knowledge and Aptitude which will be of 25 marks. And the rest of the 75 marks will be based on your subject. Make sure that you are well aware of the current trends and affairs.
The BA program offered by the Delhi College of Arts and Commerce is good. The infrastructure of the department is decent. You will not face any trouble adjusting. The campus is peaceful and ideal for studies.
The faculties are great. Other than lectures they will give you information regarding useful seminars and workshops.

Now coming to the courses, in English honors, you will learn about a myriad of texts from different countries and different time periods. However, you will have to spend your three years around poetry and prose. You won’t get to experience much diversity when it comes to subjects.

So, I will suggest that you choose the program which will keep you interested for the next three years. College life will be similar irrespective of the institute. Also, gone are the days when students with honors degrees were treated superior to the students who pursued programs.
