Psychology equips students with the ability to understand behavioral and emotional aspects at personal, social, and organizational levels. It enhances their understanding of the interconnections among various academic disciplines and strengthens their capacity to communicate effectively with individuals and groups from diverse social, cultural, and emotional backgrounds.
At B.M.Ruia Girls’ College, Psychology is offered at both the Junior College and Undergraduate levels. For B.A. students, it is taught as an Ancillary Component alongside other Disciplinary Components such as Hindi, Economics, and Sociology. For B.Com students, Psychology is offered as an Elective Component under the title “Industrial Psychology – An Organizational Perspective.”
Beginning with the Academic Year 2024–25, the college introduces the National Education Policy (NEP) with a new credit structure and updated Psychology courses. As part of the Other Elective Component (OEC), the following new courses will be offered to students of both the Faculty of Humanities and the Faculty of Commerce and Management:
• Psychology of Coping and Adjustment
• Psychology of Modern Life
In addition to academic instruction, we provide Counseling and Guidance Services for our current students, alumni, and their family members. These services play a crucial role in helping individuals understand and address personal, academic, social, and work-related concerns, while also promoting a positive outlook and informed decision-making.
