I did my 12th in 2001. Can I pursue BA in psychology? I didn't study psychology in 12th.

Hello Manju Good communication skills, patience, ability to work with all kinds of social/ cultural and age groups are the essential qualities of a psychologist. They should have a genuine interest in people, their behaviour and have empathy for their problems. They have to be sensitive and caring and also have the ability to understand people of very different backgrounds and upbringing.Study of psychology includes a diverse range of activities such as the processes of thinking, learning and perceiving, remembering, forgetting, physiology of the nervous system, development of children, social relationships and their effect on personality development, mental disorders, applications of psychology to the study of society, industry, education etc., techniques of experimenting and testing, and statistics. There is a wide variety of topics in the professional study of psychology and some overlapping occurs between the different specialized branches. Good at science, math, critical reading and writing. The best colleges are: The National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan National Institute of Criminology & Forensic Science Gujarat Forensic Sciences University , IFS Mumbai, Aurangabad, Nagpur Lovely Professional University Jalandhar Thank you,
