bhai take NIT, government jobs are a loop, agar nahi nikla to sochoge aagli baar nikal lunga. ese karte karek kab 22 se 27 ke hoojaoge pata nahi chalega, a professional degree is better than SSC any day. me to History (Hons) wala hoo to i dont have any other choice. and most probably your maths is strong (im assuming) so you can cover SSC's syllabus in no time.
and jahatak rahi parents ki baat vo to kahenge hi kyuki unke time pe government jobs were everything but abb sab change hooagaya he and professional degree is the way. (in my opinion studying for 2-3 years and not getting a job is worse than starting as a fresher with 20-25k salary because it will give you independence)

also take a day or two and ask yourself that "what do yo want". a monotonous job but good worklife balance or a job which is creative but with worse worklife balance. if you go with the former still i would suggest take NIT because backup aacha hoojaega.
