Studying- A fun adventure at Amity University, Mumbai

Eligibility: 60% and above in 12th boards. Students who have completed their 12th irrespective of any stream can apply. All the details of the application form, fees, and dates can be found on their website- Not sure about the reservation benefits but after you apply, you would be assigned to an admission counselor who guides you throughout the admission process and clears all doubts. Regarding the application process, there is an entrance exam that wasn't related to the course, it included essay writing on any general knowledge topics. After which there was an interview where they ask basic questions related to the course such as, why did you opt for this course? Who is the father of psychology. But from what I noticed, almost every student was selected. The interview is easy to crack.

I chose this course because none of the other colleges in Mumbai provides BSC in clinical psychology (with specialization in bachelor). The curriculum is very detailed and structured well. They also have a program of summer internship after each year which helps you with exposure to the practical field. You get to learn different subjects under psychology every semester. Practicals are included in every semester which consists of a variety of psychological tests. Some teachers have completed their PhD in psychology, some teachers who have completed their masters in psychology teach and do their Ph.D. simultaneously. 6 sems for all three years, every year consisted of 2 sems each. Every semester there would be a midterm exam (15marks for written paper and 15 assignments) and a final end semester exam(70marks, subjective questions).

Most of the time, Bachelor of Psychology students are not provided an internship with a stipend. Most of the hospitals require us to pay them to work under/with them. After every semester, you are asked to do an internship at any place with a psychology background like hospitals, schools, remand homes, mental health clinics, NGOs. The students are also provided with an opportunity to work with an organization that has a tie-up with our university. You have a choice to either work with the place they suggest or any place that you like, provided, you work at a psychology-related organization for a month. It is a mandatory project. The College provides an internship letter to work on the permissions required at the organizations. As the next semester begins, we are asked to brief the faculty about what was done during the internship followed by a report about it and a viva. The summer internship program carries 100marks. I worked at the children's aids society located at mankhurd.

After the end of the semester, students are eligible for campus placement. Not aware of the campus placement process. 60% of students get placements. The average package would be 5LPA. I am currently pursuing my master's in clinical psychology at the same University after completing my degree at amity university, Mumbai.
