Psychology
Hello there,
To pursue a postgraduate degree in Clinical Psychology, most universities have specific eligibility criteria. Here's what typically applies: General Eligibility:
A Bachelor’s degree in Psychology is usually required.
Some universities may accept graduates from related fields (like Criminology, Sociology, or Social Work) but often prefer candidates with at least Psychology as one of the subjects in UG. In your case:
Since you completed BA in Criminology , you may be eligible only in certain universities that allow related backgrounds.
You might need to take a bridge course or qualify through an entrance exam/interview to prove your knowledge in psychology. Recommendation:
Check the specific eligibility criteria of the university you’re applying to.
Some institutions may accept your background, especially if you can demonstrate a strong interest and understanding of psychology.
If you are committed to Clinical Psychology and your current degree is not accepted directly, you could also consider:
Pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychology first.
Enrolling in a BA or MA in Psychology through distance mode and then moving to Clinical Psychology at the PG level.
Always confirm directly with the university to avoid issues at the time of admission.
I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.
Hello,
Since you have completed your BA in Criminology, and are now interested in pursuing Clinical Psychology at the postgraduate (PG) level, your eligibility will depend on the specific university or institution's criteria.
Most universities offering MA or MSc in Clinical Psychology require applicants to have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology or a related field with Psychology as one of the major subjects. Since Criminology is related, especially in terms of understanding human behavior and societal patterns, some universities may consider your application, particularly if you had Psychology papers or electives during your undergraduate course.
Check individual university eligibility criteria carefully—some may accept candidates from allied fields like Criminology, Sociology, or Social Work, especially if you can demonstrate a strong interest in psychology.
Hope this helps. All the best!

To calculate index marks for BSc Psychology admission in MG University and Calicut University, you need to follow the specific criteria set by each university.
1. MG University (Mahatma Gandhi University)
Index Mark Calculation for BSc Psychology:
Index Mark = Marks in Psychology (if studied) + Marks in Biology + Marks in English + (Optional subject, if any, as per merit rules)
Since Psychology may not be a subject in 10+2, the general formula they often use is:
Index Mark = Biology + English + Best two of the remaining subjects (as per eligibility criteria)
2. Calicut University
Calicut University follows a similar system:
Index Mark = Marks in English + Marks in Biology or Psychology (if studied) + Best two other subjects
If Psychology was studied at the +2 level, it may be given weightage or treated as a core subject. 10 marks may be added as weightage if the candidate has studied Psychology at +2 level. Marks are usually scaled to 200, depending on subject combinations.
