The only main difference between them is their "area of study". This changes the career paths and job options for the postgrads.

An MA in Psychology studies the human mind, behavior, and patterns. The MA in Philosophy, on the other hand, studies the 'why' of existence, values, reason, mind, language, and more. 

MA Psychology students work as  Mental Health Researchers, Rehabilitation Forensics, Counselors, Clinical Psychologists, Government Officials, Human Resource Specialists, and Social Workers, etc. And MA Philosophy students work as Professors, Lawyers, Consultants, Government Policy Analysts, Journalists, etc.

It's huge. An MA in India will open doors for research-based roles and further studies, like a PhD. You'll get in-depth knowledge in a specific area, which will eventually enhance your chances of getting higher pay.
