Dear Anurima,

It's absolutely okay , if you don't have Psychology as a subject in your intermediate level of study. The basic eligibility criteria to opt B.Sc Psychology is to qualify 12th exam with min 40% from any recognized institute .

Well, you need to remember that .. the eligibility criteria may differ in some University  due to their own requirements for admission .


You may also refer Distance education through IGNOU to pursue Psychology as a bachelor as well as masters course . The eligibility criteria is so much reduced there .


for more details about this course , refer this :

Hope this helps !
