Chandigarh

Chandigarh University has hosted different events for Psychology students like Tech Invent 2024, which had activities on past life regression and psychological testing. Students also took part in discussions led by child psychologist Prof. (Dr.) P.K. Malhi from PGIMER Chandigarh. Hypnotherapy sessions by Ms. Renu Thakur and workshops on behaviour analysis gave them direct practical knowledge. Big events such as the International Conference on Behavioural Sciences in 2023 also opened opportunities to learn about sustainable society and mental health issues. Such programs give psychology students exposure, confidence, and a better link between theory and practice.

Learning psychology is not only about reading, it is also about exploring real problems. Students at Chandigarh University can join research projects as part of their course. These projects give them experience in planning, studying, and writing research. Students get to study different topics, gather data, and understand human behavior in a practical way. Many students have worked on projects like “Psychological well-being of children during COVID-19 in Bhutan”, “Association of COVID-19 Fear with Depression: A Correlational Study”, “ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY AND MENTAL HEALTH: A BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS”, and “Evolution of LGBTQ+ Community in India: Historical Perspective”, etc. 

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.

As far as I know, subjects which are taught in Psychology programme at Chandigarh University are: Biological Basis of Behaviour, Academic Writing in Psychology, Spirituality, Mythology and Yoga Psychology, Personality and Self Theories, and Psychology of Social Media. As students move ahead, they study Applied Social Psychology, Experimental Psychology, Music and Dance Psychology, Media Psychology, Consumer Psychology and Advertising, Communication Skill, and Design Thinking and Creativity for Innovation. The course also adds Basics of Statistics, Guidance and Counselling, Ethics in Psychology, Sports Psychology, Organisational Psychology, Artificial Intelligence and Psychology, Cognitive Psychology, Psychological First Aid, Educational Psychology, and Workplace Behaviour and Cultural Influences, etc. 

Every university has its own rules, and dress code is also one of them. Fine Arts students at Chandigarh University need to follow a set pattern for clothing. They have to wear a uniform on Wednesday. The uniform includes a white shirt, grey pants, red tie, and a navy blazer during winters. This dress is usually bought from inside the campus. On normal days, they do not need to wear the uniform but still must keep a formal and simple dressing. Casual dressing like jeans, shirts, or trousers is allowed, but shorts, patkas, and caps are not. The purpose of such rules is to maintain equality among students and keep a professional culture.

Fine Arts at Chandigarh University prepares students for v=careers in galleries and creative agencies by giving then practical exposure throughtout the course. Students regularly participte in art exhibitions, which builds curatorial experience that galleries value. Many graduates have secured positions where they assist the exhibition planning, manage collections, or create visual material for cultural organizations. On the creative agency side, Fine Arts students are trained in applied art, making them suitable for roles in concept development, digital campaigns and advertising design. Agencies prefer CU graduates because of their multidisciplinary approach, as they can handle both traditional sketches and digital artwork. The placement team ensures students meet with agencies that specialize in media, branding, and cultural projects. This balance of gallery-related and agency-based opportunities ensure Fine Arts graduates from CU are not limited but enjoy varied roles after completing their degree
