Hello Vishnu, your question is relevant for any student planning to apply for an undergraduate programme after the 12th grade. Many students are clear as to which course they want to opt for while some are confused. There is solution for both cases - Liberal Education. Choosing papers from across different disciplines allows students to pursue their passion all during their undergraduate course. For instance, a student can pursue B.A. (Hons) English but opt for papers in Psychology as a minor or vice versa. Majors help give an in-depth understanding about the subject while minors help broaden one's perspective in the area of Psychology

Similar Questions for you

How does the psychology course at IILM University help students understand real-world mental health issues?

Manya

While the course does not train students to diagnose or counsel professionally at an undergraduate level, it builds awareness and sensitivity.

Students learn how mental health issues are understood academically, the difference between common misconceptions and clinical realities, the importance of ethics, consent, and professional boundaries, and why self-diagnosis and casual labelling are discouraged.

This knowledge helps students become more informed and responsible, both personally and professionally.

How supportive is the environment at IILM University for students who struggle academically in psychology?

Manya

Psychology can be challenging for students who are not used to analytical thinking. Faculty usually recognise this early and offer support.

Support often includes:

Additional explanations during or after class.
Feedback on where students are going wrong.
Guidance on how to structure answers better.
Encouragement rather than discouragement.

Students who seek help early generally see improvement over time.
