Assessments play a crucial role in comprehending human behavior. In order to train students in assessments and interpretation, we have established a well-equipped laboratory that is equipped with state-of-the-art psychometric tools.

The department is dedicated to enhancing students' knowledge and keeping them up-to-date through the Proprium series, which includes guest lectures, seminars, and workshops conducted by experts in the field. A unique practice offered to students is training in intervention and counseling techniques, providing them with hands-on experience.

Research knowledge and its practicality are fundamental to any graduate program. To equip our students with research skills, the department utilize the following methods:
1. Capstone Project: This project aims to showcase a student's mastery of a specific subject or field of study. It serves as a culmination of their knowledge and skills acquired throughout their degree program.
2. Minor Research Projects: These projects provide students with an introduction to the research process, allowing them to familiarize themselves with it.
3. Major Research Projects: These projects involve students undertaking a scientific endeavor where they identify a problem and seek to answer a research question.
In addition to promoting academic excellence, the department of psychology also places great emphasis on holistic personality development. One of the department's crucial roles is to provide psychological support to students. Counseling and guidance services are available to any student in need of emotional support.
To enhance the learning experience, the department employs innovative teaching techniques such as audio-visual aids, paper presentations, Socratic seminars, group discussions, article reviews, collaborative learning, peer-assisted learning, case analyses, and self-management projects, among others.

Counselling Services

Our experienced counsellors are here to support in navigating academic challenges, personal growth and overallwell being.Through a combination of theoretical applications, practical exercises, therapies and experiential learning opportunities, students and professionals delved into the nuances of the counseling process.
