Hence after your 12th you appear for a Bachelor's degree in Psychology (B.A. or B.Sc in psychology) from any recognised University.

The next level is generally a Master's degree either as M.A or M.Sc., and finally to higher studies or work in different sectors of clinical psychology, counselling and educational psychology.

Generally, one is not allowed to change category in the in-house form for BA Psychology at Mithibai College after the last date of submission. Most colleges like Mithibai tend to have very strict deadlines for filing applications and changes in categories also because of administrative procedures. However, it is always best to contact the admissions office directly to inquire about any exceptional circumstances that may allow for changes post-deadline. They may also inform you if there is an appeals process or if you may be eligible in another category down the road. This is important for future applications, so you should periodically check official college communications regarding all deadlines and requirements.

One needs to check the eligibility criteria for universities of interest to be sure that they fulfill all the requirements of that particular university.

In Jain University, Psychology SAS refers to different academic streams or departments providing psychology programs and Psychology SSC refers to School of Social Sciences and Humanities. The key difference comes in terms of course structures and approach.
Psychology SAS follows an interdisciplinary broad approach. Psychology covers fields from behavioral sciences to counseling and even clinical psychology.

Psychology SSC, on the other hand, is more inclined to the social Science aspects of psychology, which includes human behaviour, social influences, psychological research, and so on, carried out in a social orientation. Both streams provide specialised career paths within psychology.
