Frequently Asked Questions

The B.A. (Hons) and B.Sc. (Hons) Psychology are undergraduate courses that provide an in-depth study of psychological theories, research methods, and practical applications in various fields like mental health, education, and counseling.

To be eligible, candidates must have completed their 12th grade (with a minimum percentage as specified by the institution). For B.Sc., a science background (preferably with Biology) is required, while B.A. offers more flexibility in subject requirements.

Applications are typically submitted online through the university's website, with admission based on merit (marks from 12th grade) or through an entrance exam.

Both programmes are typically of three years duration, divided into six semesters, with theoretical coursework and practical sessions.

Graduates can pursue careers in clinical psychology, counseling, human resources, educational psychology, marketing, research, or further studies like M.A./M.Sc. in Psychology or M.B.A.
