What Students Say
Likes
- Psychology dept at MSSW is very open-minded and a well knit group of people, including all the three year students.
- The course covers different aspects of psychology which are important for selection of specialisation at the pg level.
- Faculty members are approachable and even our Principal has an open door policy for any concerns that need to be addressed.
Dislikes
- Administration is generally lagging, information regarding cancellation of classes/holiday is very end minute.
- A few faculty members don't take classes regularly
- Overall exposure/activities happening in college are limited, but are definitely provided.
Course Curriculum Overview
The curriculum focuses on different subjects under psychology, which keeps changing every semester, making the coursework diverse and interesting. This also helps in choosing specialisation fields for further studies as the student gets exposure into each subfield of psychology. The classes are usually about 40-50 minutes, which is appropriate as per usual attention span. Exams are in the form of 2 internal assessments, each carrying 25 marks. 2 other internal assignments (1 carrying 10 and the other 15 marks) are conducted. End semester exam is a 100 mark paper, converted to 50. Exams are evenly spaced and can easily be aced if the student is internally well motivated.
Fees and Financial Aid
Tuition fees is about 51000-56000 per year. It can be paid in two installments. About scholarships and financial aid, there are provisions that I'm aware of. As a bsc psychology student, there aren't any job or employment opportunities but there definitely are for pg students and other depts.
Campus Life
Campus life is pretty chill, we have sports and annual concert(Deja Vu) every year! Very often, fairs and stalls are set up on campus by other departments as part of their projects/activities. Recently, a student run group called psychport has also been established in our department.
Admission
Very easy application process, all online(atleast for batch 2021-2024) as we were the COVID batch. The application form can be found on the MSSW Website and I suppose 250-500 rs was the application fee.
Faculty
Since the class strength is about 50, faculty to student ratio is appropriate, meaning the teachers are aware of each of the students and ensure personal attention to everyone. Teachers are qualified and experienced, with some of them being phD holders. The students are free with all of the faculty members and the relationship is well maintained across department. We are free to converse with them whenever required and they provide appropriate help. Each student is assigned a faculty member as their mentor, to ensure that a safe space is created and the students feel free to express their concerns.
