As for Hindi medium, very few universities offer MA Psychology fully in Hindi. Most teach it in English, especially the technical terms. However, you can check universities like IGNOU, Delhi University or some state universities in UP, MP, Bihar, and Rajasthan they sometimes provide support or partial materials in Hindi.

So yes, you're eligible to apply, but finding full Hindi medium teaching might take some research.

Since your OBC and NCL certificates are not ready, you will likely be treated as a General category candidate during NCET counselling. Your scores are very strong, especially in Geography, Hindi, and Teaching Aptitude, so yes, you do stand a good chance under the General category as well. Keep all documentation ready and also mention your acknowledgment slip during counselling.
