    To become a psychologist in India, you need to complete the necessary education and training. Here are some points mentioned below:

    • To pursue psychology, it is recommended to choose the Science stream in Class 12, although some universities and colleges also accept students from other streams like Arts and Commerce.
    • After completing your Class 12, you need to earn a Bachelor's degree in Psychology (BA or BSc) from a recognised university.
    • After completing your Bachelor's degree, you can opt to pursue a Master's degree in Psychology (MA or MSc) specialising in a specific area of Psychology.
