Department of Psychology( Appiled & Behavioral )

The Department of Applied and Behavioural Psychology is designed to provide a comprehensive and practice-oriented learning environment that integrates theoretical knowledge with real-world application. Grounded in strong foundations of behavioral health, the programme equips students with skills in behavioral health assessment, intervention planning, and implementation, while emphasizing effective communication and relationship building. Through a balanced curriculum that includes papers such as General Psychology, Biological Basis of Behaviour, Indian Psychology Application, Understanding the Self and Other, Positive Psychology and Theories of Personality, Developmental Psychology, and Holistic Well-being Approaches, students gain a multidimensional understanding of human behaviour. The inclusion of Cyber Hygiene & Digital Safety, Listening Skills and Observation-Based Report Writing, and Community Psychology, along with a project on community care services, strengthens competencies in health promotion, prevention, and community engagement. The programme also introduces students to behavioral health policies, behavioral disorders and their treatment, and emphasizes research and evidence-based practice.
