Welcome to the Department of Psychology
The Department of Psychology comprises a diverse community of excellent faculty and highly talented and vibrant students. We offer undergraduate and Post-Graduate programs in Psychology. We are a group of people who wish to make a positive difference at the personal, professional, and community levels. Despite social taboos related to mental health, psychology has become the most sought-after undergraduate and postgraduate program in the post-covid era. There is an increased awareness among the students and their parents of the importance of mental health and related issues.
The graduate program in psychology is one of the premier programs offered by our college to students who have a passion for pursuing psychology in their careers. This program includes a breadth of subjects that empower students to have adequate knowledge of a range of subfields in psychology. It acts as a catalyst to identify their area of interest to pursue their master’s degree program or other career choices. The courses are spread across domains such as Social, Developmental, Cognitive, Abnormal, Educational, Sports, Forensic, Experimental, Health, etc., to name a few.
Our faculty members adapt creative and innovative teaching pedagogy to foster an impeccable learning environment for the students. This department offers active and experiential learning to the students by utilizing Psychometric assessments, Questionnaires, Instruments, etc.; the state-of-the-art laboratory nurtures bright minds with cutting-edge research experience. Our lab includes highly modern teaching-learning equipment, which is available in very few institutions across the surrounding institutes.
