    Unfortunately, you are not eligible to apply for a Master's degree in psychology because you don't have minimum grades/percentage which is 55%.

For psychology students at IILM Gurugram, the classes usually include a mix of lectures, discussions, and practical sessions, usually between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. (with breaks between classes!). Some days may have theory-heavy subjects like cognitive or developmental psychology, while other days focus on applied areas such as counselling skills or research methods. Students also work on assignments that involve observation, analysis, or reflective writing. The schedule leaves enough time for reading, self-study, and project work, which is essential for a subject like psychology.
