MESSAGE OF HOD

The Department of psychology has recorded consistent improvement in its academic, research and placement performance. It offers a range of innovatively designed programs whose curricula are constantly updated to meet the changing requirement of an institution/ organization and to meet the needs of major stakeholders.

We believe that our students have been well accepted in their job profiles and have consistently exceeded expectations of the corporate world. During study at the department, the students are encouraged to get hands-on experience in the corporate world through internship projects with reputed hospitals and organizations. In their curriculum, they are encouraged to take up mini projects to supplement theoretical knowledge with practical experience. They also undertake projects benefiting local hospitals or dealing with local problems. These projects enable them to understand the relevance of working in a group and also help them to realize the finer aspects and importance of teamwork.
