B.A. (Hons.) in Psychology - Batch of 2026

4.2

Overall, everything is pretty good; the college is still growing and has made improvements.

Placements: The recent batch of students is quite large. In my batch, there were comparatively fewer admissions because of my subject (psychology), as not many students opt for it. After B.A., there is no package offered, as no companies recruit B.A. students; at least a master's degree is needed. For B.A. students, we have our internship in the 6th semester at Thane Government Hospital, where we gain work experience. We need to pay an amount for it, but the experience is worth it. M.A. students have a similar internship at a different hospital. Studying psychology offers various occupational options, such as becoming a teacher, psychologist, psychiatrist, counselor, child psychologist, forensic psychologist, and more.

Infrastructure: Each batch has its respective college, with individual professors for each subject. It is well-staffed and has improved a lot compared to last year. We have access to the library, where each student can borrow two books for a week, and they can be reissued the following week, free of cost. The psychology lab is well-equipped, and practicals are held almost every week, with every student participating. The hostel provides all the basic facilities like bookshelves, cupboards, pillows, buckets, study tables, and the rooms are cleaned every day, with private washrooms and bathrooms that are cleaned weekly. The hostel food is better than what I have experienced elsewhere; meals are well-balanced, with no restrictions on food consumption. The mess provides food four times a day, which is quite sufficient. The canteen food is also affordable. In case of medical emergencies, the warden takes us to the nearest clinic or hospital, and for minor illnesses like colds, the warden provides medicines. Sports and games are held frequently, with no restrictions, allowing anyone to join as they like.

Faculty: My professors are knowledgeable and interactive, which makes us feel more comfortable and improves our study patterns. They are well-qualified, and their teaching is really helpful. We are taught about life experiences, and the course curriculum is well-planned and executed. Internships prepare us for the following years and provide good examples of what we'll handle in the future. The semester exams are difficult if you don't study, but if you are well-prepared, it's manageable. The passing percentage is around 35%.

Other: I chose the course in psychology because I have always been interested in it, and I wanted to help people in one way or another. The best thing about psychology is that, while other courses focus on bookish language and theory, in psychology, you learn about people and think about what is wrong and right. I wish we had more daily shopping complexes near the college so that it would be easier for the hostellers. Our college hosts an event called "Aarambh," which is a well-celebrated occasion where celebrities are invited. I have personally seen Chunky Panday and Ameesha Patel there. The event overall was very fun and well organized. You receive a scholarship if you score nearly 9 CGPA or above that. Our college encourages extracurricular activities and motivates students to participate, as we have our own college band and music department where students are taught how to play musical instruments and sing free of cost. The college also provides us with a gym at no cost.

One of the best faculty Campuses is awesome.

Placements: Almost 71% get placements every year. 7lakhs average in my course. 10+ Fortune 500 companies like Bajaj Finsery, Airtel, Axis Bank etc. Also, they provide internships. There are so many roles they can offer you according to interview and knowledge.

Infrastructure: Well infrastructure Wi-Fi, Labs, and libraries are spacious reading rooms and air conditioning. In the campus cafeteria, the university has a large multi-storied auditorium to conduct various cultural programme, competitions, auditions and other activities. Also, you going to enjoy sports and games.

Faculty: The university provides a high standard of education and state-of-the-art facilities. The teacher is so helpful. Also, dedicated to examining the university fairly and impartially while maintaining the examination cell. Almost 98% of students pass every year.

Other: I love to study how humans behave and also help them I also enjoy Events and Fest.

It was good to take admission there. I would have suggested that everyone go and check.

Placements: Students from different colleges, including Pillai and SIES, visit our college for the job fair. The placement rate was 50%. Many companies offered placements in our college, including Reliance. So, it was one of the opportunities for students to take admission here.

Infrastructure: This college also provided canteen facilities with various options. It also included separate hostels for boys and girls. It had a central library available for every student with various options of books on different subjects. It offered various activities.

Faculty: The exams were conducted properly, and the difficulty level was quite low. So, everyone could enjoy their campus life along with their studies. It was good for students to try it once. Teachers were also friendly and helpful, so you did not face any problems there.

Other: The campus is very big.
