Dear student. Yes  you can become psychologists after completing your post graduation in psychology. For getting admission in  post graduation, psychology must be one of your paper in graduation. As you said your p.g was in Hindi (Hons), then it will be Herculean task for you because in some of the universities it is compulsory to have psychology in graduation. But need not to worry in some of the  universities graduation from recognized university is mandatory. Student have to obtain minimum marks mentioned by the universitiy.

      To become a psychologists you need to have a better understanding of human and animal behavior. It requires years of education , training and experience. Some jobs of a psychologist requires only Masters degree whearas for some you need to hold Doctoral degree and required certification as well.

All the best.

Hi.
As a candidate if you have completed B.A. course in any stream, you are eligible to join in M.A. Psychology course. However, many of the reputed universities demand graduation degree with honors in psychology or psychology as one of the subjects studied in graduation. Some universities offer admission in this course, by conducting entrance exam, while few universities offer direct admission. So, you should try to know the admission procedure of the university, in which you want to join.
Hope it helps.

Dear Maryam, few Institutions insist you pursue your Graduation in Psychology or atleast study Psychology as a subject in your graduation to be eligible for studying your Masters in Psychology. However few Institutions conduct admissions into Masters programme though you havent studied Psychology as a subject. But mostly Regular courses expect you to have studied Psychology in your graduation. With your Bachelors in Hindi, you can try for Distance Education Institutes like IGNOU which offer MA Pschology though you havent studied Psychology in your Bachelors.
