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.
The Psychology Association is an active and vibrant society of the Psychology Department that aims to connect classroom learning with real-world understanding of human behaviour. It organises a wide range of events such as expert lectures, workshops, panel discussions, mental health awareness drives, and research-based activities.
The society also collaborates with the college’s wellness cell, Aarogyam, to support student mental health and well-being. By encouraging dialogue on psychological issues and promoting experiential learning, the Psychology Association fosters critical thinking, empathy, and emotional awareness among students.
