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.

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.

  • Are curious about people and behaviour.

  • Are open to discussion and reflection.

The course balances both theoretical and practical learning. 

Practicality is achieved through:

  • Case discussions to understand real psychological situations.

  • Assignments that involve observation and analysis.

  • Exposure to applied areas like counselling, organisational behaviour, or mental health.

  • Discussions around ethics and professional boundaries.

  • Internships and industrial exposure
