Chandigarh

Chandigarh University offers this mix in a very structured way. Students go for mandatory internships where they connect with hospitals, clinics, and organizations. This gives them early exposure to real mental health settings.

The curriculum also includes practical sessions, role plays, and case studies. These help in building confidence for counseling sessions. Regular guest talks and workshops with psychologists provide extra knowledge that is useful in the field.

Research is another part where students can work on mental health topics and learn how to build solutions. Along with that, training in assessments and therapies is provided step by step. This makes students better prepared for professional roles in clinical and counseling psychology.

The university encourages syudents to engage in seminars, workshops, and symposiums organized by professional bodies and educational organizations.

I heard that Chandigarh University provides a lot of opportunities to psychology students at Chandigarh University to attend various workshops and seminars. I heard that eminent speakers like Dr. Rajesh Gupta from PGIMER delivered sessions on CBT and psychological well-being. Clinical psychologists from healthcare institutes such as Fortis have also visited to discuss mental health challenges. Students also took part in unique activities like Psyche Fest and Tech Invent events, which included themes of past life regression, psychological testing, and mindfulness sessions. Moreover, visits to institutes like the Government Rehabilitation Institute of Intellectually Disabled and the Institute for Blind in Chandigarh helped them see the practical side of psychology. Guest talks from spiritual teachers like Karma Yeshe Rabgye Lama also added value by focusing on happiness and inner peace and more such events and seminars takes place. 

First of all, let me clarify that Chandigarh University Psychology students are not subject to any particular, stringent attendance policies or regulations.  I understand that attendance must be at least 75%. You will not be permitted to take exams even if you are an excellent student if you have poor attendance. Because they didn't take this seriously, I witnessed a few students struggle. Regular attendance at classes is therefore always preferable. It protects you from last-minute stress and keeps you up to date on assignments, studio sessions, and practical work—all of which are crucial for the fine arts. Because fine arts is more about practice than theory, regular attendance also enhances learning.
