CONSUMER PSYCHOLOGY For VI Semester BA

Introduction: As our students are from the triple major system, the no. of subjects they study in UG is very few and limited. Since they have to compete with other university students for pursuing higher studies in Psychology related discipline, they are having a little drawback, because others might be having Psychology as a single Major or Honors. Hence there is demand to adequately equip the Undergraduate students either to pursue PG for find employment.

There is also a felt need among the faculty of the department to relook at the existing syllabus and update it by offering new subjects along with the existing basic ones. The idea is to provide students the much needed diverse subject knowledge. Duration: 60 hours

Eligibility: All Psychology students of 5th Semester.
