Hey aspirant

With PCM and computer science, you can undoubtedly become a psychologist. Psychology is a stream-independent career, so it makes no difference where you come from.

However, because you did not have the relevant subject in 10+2, some colleges in DU may consider a 2% reduction in your 12th marks for cut-off during admission to BA (Honrs.) Psychology or BSc (Honrs.) Psychology courses. Don't worry, there will be plenty more options available to you.
