This means if you are specializing in counseling psychology, then you must have skills of a good career counselor, school counselor or relationship counselor. To gain skills, it is always better to have an exposure of the field in real world settings. You must do part-time work, freelance projects, summer internships to gain experience. Doing online courses is yet another advantage. After M.A. Psychology, depending on your specialisation, you can work in hospitals, schools, NGOs, health settings, universities, research assistants and organisations.

Engineering and social sciences are totally different sciences. One cannot really compare these two streams. There are some courses which demand specific degree for applying eg: clinical psychology, MBA etc. The remaining courses ask for any degree. You can go through the courses mentioned on the website, and if your interests match the subjects of the course, you can apply for it. I am an engineer myself and chose Public Policy, Governance, and Development Studies as my preferences for admission after finding that these two courses are of my interest. I have not chosen HRM&LR, which happens to be the most sought-after course in TISS, because I have no aptitude for management. Likewise, it all depends on your interests and needs, which show you a path to building your future.
