Remarks

Only available option of masters in psychology for non psych graduates in Mumbai. The admissions process is very simple, it all happens online. But the regional centre is now in Panvel so if you have to travel for any reason, it will be difficult. Classes, practicals and submissions happen in the study centre but now everything is online. The college is greatly disorganised but it is still a decent option if you are in need of a degree and are willing to study else where

Course Curriculum Overview

The syllabus can sometimes be outdated, but I cannot compare it to other universities. The basics of psychology are covered and you learn a lot while working on your thesis and internship report if you are sincere. The faculty is unreliable and can sometimes stop responding through email, even if they are your academic counsellor for your submissions. Passing the term end exams is fairly standard.

Class Size: 50Course Fees: INR 16000 per year

Internships Opportunities

Yes, there is a compulsary internship which most clinical psychology students do at Sion hospital. It is mostly an observationship where psychiatrists meet new patients and you take down their case histories. It is quite an enlightening experience

Placement Experience

0.5

There are no placements held for IGNOU students and it is difficult to get employment with your degree, depending on the field of your choice. Typically, IGNOU students can become counsellors so long as they do their therapy training elsewhere however, there is now a mental health act that has been passed rendering the degree useless

Fee Structure And Facilities

I am unaware of any scholarships or financial aid. The fees is 8000 for a term but you have to pay 150 per subject when applying for your exams and 750 per subject if you need your results re-evaluated

Campus Life

1.5

Given that it is a distance course, there is minimal interaction with your classmates. However, it is always a good idea to befriend them when you meet during classes, seminars and internships. Many time, you will not be informed of relevant deadlines and dates so having as many friends as possible is advised.

Hostel Facilities

2.5

There is no hostel facility and accomodation as far as I know. Most of the students are living in the city while working in another field or with their families.

Admission

You need to be a graduate

Honest review of Pros and Cons of DCAC

Placement Experience:

Campus placement is done in the 3rd year. The highest PPO given is 24,00,000 to auditing and taxation departments. Average package is about ?15,00,000 to ?18,00,000. Companies like Eay, KPMG and more visit our college for placement. Most students under the commerce department get offered internships. Other than this, the placement cell also actively keeps sending internship opportunities for students to enhance their profiles. I am an English honours student l, thus there is no placement option for me directly unless I take up options from the P-Cell. I have already interned at EY India, Gurgaon, as a forensics and risk management specialist( throigh personal referral).My knowledge (attained from DCAC) of research, report and article writing were used adequately.

One of the emerging colleges for journalism

Placement Experience:

There was no such provision of jobs or fixed placements however there was a placement cell which was quite active and hence there were opportunities for placements by contacting the cell and placement fairs were also organised that were open for all, but not many opportunities were given. The companies that took candidates were economic times, TOI etc paying a very basic fresher stipend of 10-15k. Very few students actually got to know about these placement drives hence the placements weren't great also not many companies came on campus.

Colleges charge too much for the course that I didn't apply to at other colleges. I chose this college because its supportive for the students. No, I didn't rejected by any other college.

UG courses = 10+2 PG Courses = (like MA) Bachelor's Degree in any discipline. Also Diploma Certificate as per course requirements....Read More

Ignou

IGNOU. Its really a good head-ache now, i am in last semester but frustrated from the process. None of the faculty member from your regional center as well as study centre will help you to answer yours queries. You have to suppose everything at your own and act accordingly. If you ask anything regarding your assignment submission as well as lab courses, your study centre will simply say to ask it from regional centre. And our great regional centres Coming to projects, sometimes in viva they will say reply should be like this. Next time when you will submit the report as per instruction, some other superintendent will be there to reject it again and to instruct to format it as it was earlier. You will feel like servants working for them.IGNOU University and topped in my Study Center. In my point of view, IGNOU has good study material and if we study it well (in detail) then we can easily get good marks. You have to dedicate 5–6 hours daily and finish your syllabus on time, submit your....Read More
