    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

Research is an essential component of the curriculum. 

Psychology students are introduced to research methodology, including:

  • Experimental and Non-experimental designs
  • Sampling techniques
  • Data collection methods
  • Ethical considerations.

They often also conduct small-scale research projects involving surveys, behavioural observations, or case studies.

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.
