Established in 1972, the Department of Psychology is a distinguished academic centre within the college, known for its commitment to excellence in teaching, research, and psychological inquiry. Since the introduction of the B.A. (Honours) Psychology programme in 1990, the department has evolved into a space where academic rigour meets personal growth. It is dedicated to fostering critical thinking, ethical sensitivity, and a deep understanding of human behaviour, preparing students for both professional success and meaningful social engagement. The department offers B.A. (Honours) Psychology, Generic Elective papers, and courses in the B.A. Programme, designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of psychological theory and practice. The curriculum balances foundational knowledge with real-world applications, encouraging students to explore diverse psychological perspectives while developing strong analytical and research skills. Classroom learning is complemented by hands-on training in well-equipped, air-conditioned laboratories, supported by psychological testing facilities and the latest research tools. An active Psychology Association forms the core of student life within the department, organising seminars, workshops, guest lectures, and field visits. Students are also encouraged to take up internships in hospitals, NGOs, and other applied settings, gaining practical exposure under professional supervision. The department promotes an inclusive learning environment where students are guided not only in academics but also in research methodology, professional ethics, and interdisciplinary collaboration. At the Department of Psychology, education extends beyond textbooks, students are prepared to understand minds, transform communities, and contribute thoughtfully to a rapidly evolving world.
