Dear Candidate,

There are several options of career prospects including clinical psychologist, counselor, research assistant, career coach, life skill trainer, sports psychologist, HR Manager, etc. It depends on how much practical exposure you have gained along with the theoretical knowledge. So try to do as much internships as possible to make your CV better and gain experience and knowledge in your respective field. If you do so, you will be able to land a good job.

Hello Aspirant,

A psychology degree develops knowledge of human behavior as well as research, statistics, and writing skills. It also provides training in a number of skills which can be applied to many occupations and disciplines. After completing master's degree you can also go for PHD which will help you to get more opportunies in your Career. And if you are interested for Job then you can have the below options:


Career Counselor


Case Manager


Child Care Worker


Psychiatric Technician:

While an undergraduate degree in psychology does not qualify graduates for a career as a psychologist, it does prepare them to work in the field of mental health and human services.


Good Luck!

Dear Prerna, it completely depends on your spcialisation. If you have completed your MA in Organizational Psychology,you can secure opportunities in MNCs which hire an Organizational Psychologist. If you have studied Child or Educational Psychology, you can try for the post of a Counsellor. Initially you do not get paid as much as you want to but as your experience increases, things will get better for you. Now because Mental Health is still a taboo in India, you have to have a wider network to be able to grab opportunities through word of  mouth. Create a profile in Professional networking sites like LinkedIn wherein employers and companies keep posting job opportunities everyday.
