Hello,

The subject combination requirements for Bsc Psychology is different in each institutions. Science background is definitely preferred and it is not always necessary to have Psychology as a subject in your 11th and 12th.

Top Universities’ Requirements (Examples)

1. Delhi University (BSc Hons Psychology)

Requires English + any 3 academic subjects

Psychology not mandatory

Merit-based via CUET UG


2. Christ University (BSc Psychology Honours)

Open to students from all streams

No specific subject requirement


3. Mumbai University / Calcutta University

Some affiliated colleges offer BA or BSc in Psychology

Open to both Science and Arts stream students


Hope this helps. All the best!

Dear candidate
Yes as a student with PCM and Computer Science in Class 11-12 , you can definitely pursue a BSc in Psychology. Most top universities in India like Delhi University , Christ University , Ashoka University and BHU, do not require Psychology as a subject in Class 12 .You just need to meet the eligibility criteria  usually around 50-60% marks in 12 standard .

Yes, you can pursue a BSc in psychology even if you studied PCM( physics, chemistry and mathematics) and computer science in class 11 and 12. Many top colleges accept students from all streams, including science for all strems, include science, for psychology courses. You don't always need biology. However, some universities may prefer students with biology, so check the specific eligibility on their websites. Focus on scoring well in class 12 and prepare for college entrance tests if required. Psychology is about understanding the mind and behavior, and your interest and dedication matter most. So yes it's definitely possible for you to study psychology

Hello,

Yes, it is possible for you to pursue a BSc degree in Psychology even if you have PCM and Computer in class 11.

Most colleges accept students from any science stream for BSc Psychology. You should check the specific eligibility criteria of the college you want to join, but generally, having PCM and Computer won’t be a problem.

Just make sure you meet the minimum percentage required. Many good colleges offer BSc Psychology, so you can aim for the best one based on your marks and entrance exams (if any).

Hope it helps !
