About the Centre

The Centre for Psychology strives to be a premier hub in psychology. The students, research scholars, and faculty actively engage in excellent teaching-learning processes, research, extension services, and collaboration to translate the theory and practice of psychology to society. Psychology, being a fascinating subject, is one of the most popular programmes that teach us how to live life to its fullest potential.

To enhance professional skills in students, the Centre is well-equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories (experimental laboratories, counselling laboratory, behaviour technology laboratory, and sleep laboratory) having a large number of standardised psychological tests, digital apparatus, and instruments including biofeedback, neurofeedback, and polysomnography. The students are taught with hands-on experience in these laboratories to conduct various experiments, assessments, and simulated counselling and therapeutic sessions.

Research in the Centre primarily comprises several important areas, such as caregivers’ health, counselling psychology, developmental psychology, educational psychology, geriatric psychology, health psychology, organisational psychology, parenting, positive organisational behaviour, positive psychology, psychometrics, psycho-oncology, sports psychology, stress management, women’s health, and yoga.

Our students and research scholars have found placements as faculty, scientists, psychologists, and counsellors in prestigious organisations and institutions (Government, corporate, and private), such as Central Universities and World-class Universities (Stanford University), AIIMS, DRDO, DIPR, TISS, and Deemed-to-be-Universities. Every year, our students from the Integrated M.Sc. and M.Sc. programmes also join world-class universities and institutes for higher studies.
