Yes, a student from any stream can apply for a BA in Psychology. All that is required of the candidate is that they must have graduated from a recognised board with a minimum of 50% in their boards. However, the requirements for admission to various universities and institutes offering psychology courses may differ.
The disciplines and subjects that a candidate must study in Psychology courses is a list of requirements for a career in this field. Psychology is the study of human thought and behaviour patterns. It is a wide field that includes social behaviour, mental health, human development, and cognitive processes.

Hi...
Yes — internships are possible for BA Psychology students
Psychology internships allow undergraduates to “apply theoretical knowledge to real-life situations” — in clinics, hospitals, wellness centers, research labs, schools, community-service centres, NGOs, etc.
Some mental-health / wellness centers explicitly offer internship/trainee-positions to BA or BSc psychology students. For example, Peace of Mind (India) offers “graduate internship (BA/BSc Psychology or Clinical Psychology)” which includes patient-center workflow, admin support, content-creation, and “live-project” work.
