Hello Deepti,
You said you are an engineer. Then how come suddenly developed an interest in Psychology. Two totally different streams with no similiarity at all.
Why did you pursue diploma in engineering? And instead of pursuing a degree course you opted for psychology?. Sounds weird.
Before you leap think well. Its a long term matter.
Anyways please note that since you are not a graduate but only a diploma holder, you would have to first pursue graduation in Psychology which is a 3 years course based on your 12th score. You can follow this with a masters industrial psycholo
Hello Trishala,
How come after pursuing a management degree you suddenly developed an interest in psychology. Though in management, some concepts about psychology are taught; but mind you concepts in managements are different and the work of a psychologists is different. Think and research before you choose a course.
Please note most of the university providing a masters degree (MA) prefers psychology graduates and or graduates who have studied a paper in psychology. Other university like IGNOU, provides masters in psychology to any graduates. Check the university for more information.

Hi there,
Interesting to see you wish to pursue a course from TISS a reputed university.
Please note answer to your querry can be solved in 2 ways only.
One, check the website for admission criteria. If not mentioned, call the college and speak with the admission concerned person. Second, visit the campus if its possible and get first hand information.
Please note as per the website its mentioned a graduate from a recognised university. Based on this, you seem eligible.
But still I would suggest call and be completely sure.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good luck...
Dear Aspirant,
Thanks for writing to CareerGuide.com.
As already answered by career expert, I too agree. Yes, you can do regular MA or MSc in Psychology. Selection in masters course is based on merit and/or interview. Therefore, it is prerequisite to get good score and have good knowledge of basics of Psychology. Few University offer options to choose specialization like Clinical Psychology, Industrial Psychology, Educational Psychology etc., in post graduation.
Wish you all the best.

Dear Aspirant,
Thanks for putting up a query here.
There is no age limit to become a Clinical Psychologist. The minimum qualification to become Clinical Psychologist is MPhil (Clinical Psychology) from RCI recognized institutions. MPhil is 2 years course that prepares to become a practicing Clinical Psychologist.
With Best Regards,

Hello there,
Generally answer to these questions are readily available on the websites of the colleges. If not, then you could call and enquire or if the college is nearby visit the college and enquire.
Please note as such the criteria in any college to pursue a masters degree is being a graduate with minimum 50% from a recognised university. As such I see you fit into the above criteria and hence should be eligible.
But better to be dead sure by making an enquiry with the college authorities only.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good luck....

Hello Hiranya,
I am wondering how come pursuing a management course, you suddenly developed an interest in Psychology.
Which year in BBA are you currently in. If final then you complete your graduation. After that you could apply for a masters or a pg diploma in guidance and counseling. Please note there are institutes like IGNOU that provide counseling programs in correspondent mode. Please do not opt for any certificate courses from private institutes.
In- case you have just started your BBA studies, then if possible shift to BA Psychology and then continue with an MA cours
Dear Aspirant,
Radiology is a very good career field. It has good scope today and future since that is a necessity medical requirement for people.
You can choose BSc Radiology and further MSc Radiology. Initially, it is recommended that you work under a Radiologist for some years. This will help you gain the practical technical experience as well as how to treat the patients and help them.
If you opt for MBBS and then Radiology specialisation, you will be called as Radiologist yourself and you then need not remain a technician. Later you can approach a bank for loan and have your own
Dear Aspirant,
Good question and this is a common question among many.
I would not say that non math background students cannot score well in CAT, however as per the statistics available about the admission to the IIMs, math competent aspirants like Engineers make it more to the IIMs.
Non math background does not mean that you will not be able to get high percentile which is necessary to get admitted to the IIMs, however you will have to ensure that you get a good coaching class support. Going to a coaching institute will help you practice, get guidance and build confidence which is neces
Dear Aspirant,
Too weird education pattern you have been following. Firstly, how did you get admission to Psychiatry based on MTech Biotechnology, when both of them are not related to each other in anyway? I am surprised. You say that you are currently doing MA Psychology through distance mode too. How can you do MA and PhD together? This is impossible. It appears that you have resorted to some other ways to get entry into two courses simultaneously.
Psychiatry is a medical profession where as Psychology is non medical profession. It appears that you have resorted to some other ways to ge
Dear Aspirant,
Career in Wildlife does not need psychology studies or for that matter any specific education qualification. By Wildlife what do you mean exactly, photography, research or something else?
I definitely feel that if you are interested in Comparative Psychology you should go ahead for the Masters in Psychology. This will ensure that you get the minimum livelihood and your education would be put to some use for survival.
Wildlife can be kept as a hobby initially and may be after some years if you feel and get the necessary support and luck, you can then take up wildlife as a full ti
Dear Aspirant,
Are you working and qualified in HRM? If yes, then after your switch to Psychology, both the work experience acquired and qualification of HRM will go entirely waste. Though HR and Psychology are inter related since Human Resource strategies are also based on psychology, it does not mean that you will be getting the tasks of HR when you work as a Psychologist.
Generally, BA Psychology candidates do MBA HR and then get into a corporate job in the HR domain. But you are thinking the reverse which is not that seen and is risky unless you have determined and decided that you do not
Dear Aspirant,
Good question. Nice to know your interest in Clinical Psychology.
I would suggest a BA and MA in Clinical Psychology. You will need to shift from Science stream to Arts stream based on your 12th Science marks in aggregate.
Getting the RCI certification is mandatory for being able to practice as a Clinical Psychologist. However, with MA Clinical Psychology you can get associated with schools, colleges, hospitals, orphanages, etc.
Scope for Clinical Psychologists is extremely good in India as well abroad with job opportunities as well as scope for private practice.

Dear Aspirant,
With BA History as a qualification, you can get teaching jobs only. Pursuing MA History and then going for NET/SET or BEd qualification is recommended.
You can change your career track after BA History, may be pursuing MBA or MA Psychology, etc.
You may also take up coaching for UPSC exams and aim for government service.
Now that you have read the above diverse options you can take up, assessing your real interests, aptitude and inter personal abilities is important for you. Choosing further career option randomly is a highly risky option.
I would also recommend you to take
Dear Aspitant,
