A must-go college for B.A. (Hons.) Psychology

The admission for B.A. (Hons.) Psychology is merit based. I got admission under the 5th cut-off under the SC category. The admission procedure was carried out on the official website of Delhi University. The admission procedure is clear and easy. The website also gives an option for your own Undergraduate Admission Portal where you can find everything including your application and cut-off according to your percentage.

I chose this course because I am interested in studying about Psychology. The faculty of the psychology department of Indraprastha College for Women is amazing. The teachers have doctoral research degree and they teach with precise details. Even in online classes, teachers strive to prepare PPTs for their students and teach accordingly. At the end of every semester, we are going to have our exams.

The college provides unpaid internships for psychology department. They are meant to focus on developing the psychological skills of the students and making the students job-ready. The internships include roles and responsibilities like helping other students in solving their emotional problems at a very basic level and researching about topics given by the teachers or other authorities of the internship.

The psychology department does not provide good opportunities of placement through the college. However, the college does arrange internships for students which are unpaid. Average package of placements offered by the college for this course is 2-3 lakhs per annum.

The cost to study B.A. (Hons.) Psychology in Indraprastha College for Women is Rs. 32,100 per year. Students belonging to the economically weaker sections are eligible for fee concession. Merit cum means based scholarships are also awarded by the college to deserving students. Some special scholarships are their for the students in reserved categories.

The college has an annual fest named SHRUTI. Due the the pandemic, SHRUTI was cancelled for the year 2020-2021. The library provides textbooks as well as other books which can be issued. There is a Book Bank facility in the library from where needy students can borrow textbooks for the whole academic year. The classrooms are well-maintained but do not have air conditioners. The college provides ample spaces for various sports such as basketball, badminton, etc. The college also has a gym but lacks a swimming pool. There are various societies and clubs ran by the students of the college as well the college itself. Some of these are north-east society, women development cell, and many more.

In the year when I took admission, that is, in 2019, the admissions were merit-based followed by a cut-off list. There were no interview rounds of GDs. However, the merit-based attendance procedure was pretty easy & clear.
