No we don't.Basically a graduate in psychology works with various schools and NGOs so you have to apply by yourself or if your college have tie ups with these they provide assistance to these internship.

However there is less scope for graduates in psychology you should go for higher studies like masters in psychology here internship is mandatory. In most cases, the University takes the responsibility of placing its students.

Here is the link for masters in psychology its admission and fees

You can technically could re-sit for your 12th grade exams to change your stream from arts to science, it's generally not considered the most practical or efficient way to achieve your goal, especially if you're already in the final year of your BA Honours Psychology degree.

Most universities allow students from any undergraduate background to apply for a Master's degree in a relevant science field, like a Master's in Clinical Psychology, which would align well with your BA Psychology background and allow you to focus on the science aspects of the field.

If you still want to do science then go for nios exam they provide all subjects exams according to students needs but again i would say its a complete waste of time and effort and could delay your career plans.

Make right decision.all the best..

Hello!

Great to hear about your interest in criminal psychology. To pursue a program in criminal psychology at NFSU or similar institutions, a BA in psychology or a related field is generally recommended as a foundation, though specific admission requirements may vary.

Typically, a bachelor's degree provides the groundwork essential for understanding complex psychological theories and forensic practices.

As for your other question, graduation usually refers to the successful completion of a bachelor’s degree, while passing 12th is the completion of your senior secondary education, which qualifies you for entry into undergraduate courses.
