Dear Aspirant,
As rightly mentioned by Career Expert, Ms. Meghna, MPhil is research oriented course. If you want to practice as Organizational Psychologist in corporate then MA/MSc/MBA course would be beneficial.
You should pursue practice oriented course. Choose a course that offers internships and dissertation as part of the course curriculum.
In addition to masters course, you may pursue certificate or diploma courses (psychometric assessment, training and development, certificate course in specific psychometric test, SAP etc.) as per your need.
Best Wishes,

Hello Swathi, Welcome to [careerguide.com][1]. I am happy to see your interest in psychology and would definitely help you with information you need. But before that, I would first like to introduce [PSYCHOLOGY][2] in brief. Psychology is one of the behavioural sciences - a broad field that spans the cognitive, emotional , intellectual , social, interpersonal, biological etc. part of human being, a discipline that seeks to study thoughts, actions and behaviour of human beings. It is both acade
Wow......Child Psychology is an interesting option for further studies.As a Child Psychologists, you would mainly be involved with children issues right from developmental to Psychological to behavioral to learning and other related issues. You would encompass all age groups right from toddlers to adolescents.But please note here, that Child psychology is not much of a preferred specialization in India, and hence it is not offered as a separate specialization.Any Counselor whether a Clinical or Counseling psychologists, who is interested in dealing with kids can work as a child psychologists.S
Psychiatry and Psychologists are both mental health professionals.
The major difference being, Psychiatrists are mainly Dr, mainly through the MBBS background and can administer drugs to the patients, whereas a psychologists, mainly is from a ARTS background with a masters degree in Psychology ( MA), and are mainly into psychometric assessments and therapies.
Both the professionals are inter related, meaning works hand in hand especially in the hospital or clinical setting.
A Psychiatrists would be dealing with both Psychotic and neurotic disorders, mainly severe in condition, which needs t
Clinical psychologists are licensed and approved, authentic practitioners where as counselling psychologists are usually not licensed prcatitioners. The second difference between the two is, clinical psychology could be only studied by those who have studied biology and chemistry until 12th standard and have then studied pure psychology that is a BA/ BSc Psychology at under graduate college level. Where as counselling psychology could be studied by any student from any subject background and there is no conditions that you should have compulsorily studied biology and chemistry at school level.
Hey Puneet,You can pursue your masters in psychology but you will not be able to do it from some of the top universities in India as they require one to have psychology as one of your subjects in your graduation. You can do masters in Psychology from distance education as for that you will not be asked to have psychology in your graduation. Best Wishes!
Hi,It is absolutely a wrong notion. Though [Psychology][1] is not a very prevalent field in India but it is one of the most upcoming fields. It is now become one of the most sought after courses these days as more and more awareness of the subject is increasing. [There is a huge scope in psychology][2] and now-a-days Psychologists are hired in all areas of work like in organizations, hospitals, schools, colleges, NGO’s, forensic departments, government agencies, rehabilitation centers depending on the specialization of the individual.You need not worry about the job prospects as they are hug
Hi,This is absolutely a wrong notion that a student from science background can only opt for a Psychology hons course rather students from any stream for this course.Normally students go for BA or B.Sc in Psychology in their graduation. There is no difference in the two course and they are almost the same the only difference between the two is that one give emphasis to theory and the other to practical.So you need not worry and apply for your graduation in Psychology.The eligibility criterion to do graduation in Psychology is only passed in 10+2 with minimum 45-50% marks depending on the unive
No. It's a easy subject if your purpose is to cram and learn absolutely nothing, but understanding psychology is very difficult . The theories and statistics is very difficult and confusing.every theory you will read will seem easy but if you go a little deep it's very complex and mind twisting and don't make me start with statistics . It's just never ending loop of making scientifically valid and reliable test. And if you think giving a scientific analysis to human behavior is easy than sure it's easy. As your questions is it difficult for an average mind .. My answer is yes .. It is ve
Hi,If you want to pursue [Psychology][1] after your 12th class then the best course that you can do in it is your graduation.
