Good faculty and supportive environment with average infrastructure and facilities
Placements: Placements are not offered for the course Bsc psychology in particular because it is not enough to be placed in a mental health institution. One can always make utilisation of the "case study" subject provided to build connections and work internships at mental health clinics or similar institutions. However, placements are offered at the PG level in our college or for other courses.
Infrastructure: I am personally not satisfied with the infrastructure of our classrooms as well as hostel(as heard from batchmates), but that's because it is not a heavily funded institution. Library is very well stocked with books, both subject material and others. WiFi facilities is there. We do have a psychology lab as well. Classrooms are not very well lit and don't have provisions like AC, but smart boards are available. Hostel facilities are similar. Quality of food is not great, cleaning isn't very regular.
Faculty: The course curriculum is up to date and very relevant, it focuses on various aspects of psychology and makes it easier for a student to select what specialisation they would want to proceed with. The teachers are definitely helpful and qualified, however, a few faculty members may not take classes regularly or lag behind in completing portions. Semester exams were not difficult according to me, quite easy if one is self motivated and attentive in class.
Other: I chose BSC psychology because my aim is to proceed with clinical psychology. I believe that MSSW has shaped me quite well and helped me grow more knowledge about the field and in general, a better person. What I wish would improve is definitely the infrastructure and administration of the college. It does affect the motivation of the students. Events include annual sports and concert (Dejavu) and several other regular fairs keep happening in college as part of some department activities.

You must complete plus two in either science stream or humanities. I completed my plus two in the typical science stream without psychology.

At this age, you can easily do BA but it's better to take distance courses. I know about Annamalai University where you can easily pursue any course. Regards
