Course Curriculum Overview :
Psychology as a field is very dynamic and intersting. I would suggest taking up this course if you want to understand human behaviour and all it's complexities. The exam structure: Internal exam for 20 marks. There are a total of 2 internal exams, out of which the first is compulsory to attempt. If you happen to not quality, or miss the exam for any serious reason, you will be permitted to sit for the second one. Division - 5ques for 2 marks (all compulsory) , 3 ques for 5 marks (out of which 2 are to be attempted). External/Semester examination is for 70 marks. Division - 10ques for 2mrks (all), 10ques for 5mrks (attempt 5). The rest of the 10 marks are for assignments and class presentations. The exams are fairly easy if you're a regular student and you also ensure that you study the course material well. Ps: The BA course alone is not enough to secure your understanding and proficiency in the subject so consider persuing it for Master's as well.
Internships Opportunities :
For BA Psychology Hons. , you will be given an internship in Thane Mental Health Hospital for a month's duration. (You may also opt for some other mental health unit, but an internship is compulsory). The MA students are also provided a similar opportunity for a certain amount of fee.

Admission :
I got accepted for MIT-WPU, Pune, but I chose this university over MIT because of it's affordability. The admission process includes filling an online application for admission. You are eligible to apply for the college through Board exams or thorough CUET exams. The cutoff is generally not very intense. You will be able to enter the university and pursue the course you want with average marks as well. The admission cell is quite supportive and helpful.
Faculty :
The college faculty is very well versed in their fields of education. They are all quite warm and welcoming, as well as willing to co-operate with the students to increase the class efficiency. All the professors in the department, including the new HOD ma'am are great teachers as well as mentors. There are a total of 3 examination throughout the semester. 2 internal exams, out of which 1 is compulsory. (for 20 marks) One External or Semester Exam for 70 marks. The remaining 10 marks are for assignments. The exams are fairly easy if you're attentive in class and take notes.
