    Manisha both English and Psychology are good options.
    There are numerous career prospects available for Literature students. They can get jobs in India as well as overseas in a variety of fields.
    Students of English Literature can get jobs with the media as reporters. It is also possible for them to get jobs with newspaper firms. If they have a degree in journalism, they can get jobs with news broadcasting firms like NDTV, CNN – IBN, Zee News, Star News Communication etc. Companies that print out Magazines as well as journals too take in students of English literature frequently. Content development and ITES firms also recruit English

    First tell me which state you belong to, I think you are from West Bengal. If you are from West Bengal, English is the best option, but if you choose it, please complete your B.Ed degree M.A also important for your academic background for SSC.

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.

Psychology students at IILM Gurugram get strong research exposure woven into their coursework, internships, and specialised activities.

In-built research in the curriculum

  • From early semesters, students are trained in research methodology, statistics and psychological testing, and they learn how to design, conduct and interpret psychological studies.

  • BA/BSc (Hons) and MA/MSc Psychology programmes include lab work, practicums, fieldwork, surveys and small research projects as credit-bearing components, so research is part of regular academics, not an add-on.

Projects, internships and centres

  • Students work on applied research-driven

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.
