Is there any scope for psychology in India after finishing Masters in psychology in Europe or any other country?
I am a final sem student of engineering and I am interested in psychology and hence planning to do my Masters via that, will my UG cause any trouble because I saw some posts like in India, there is a less scope for psychology. Can you help and let me know if it's a good choice?

Hello Vishwas,
Well, no course will guarantee you a job, even an engineer may be left jobless for few months or so depending on the market situation. In such a situation it depends on your academic performance and networking skills and also your hidden passions. Psychology has immense scope all over the world, clinical psychology, industrial psychology, etc. Are in demand. No, your engineering background shouldn't be a matter of worry, in fact, will help you diversify your profile. But when you apply to a university, you must clearly state Why you want to pursue psychology now? What your interests and passions are? What are your career...more
