Dear student, you cannot apply for MA Psychology admission in a regular institution if you have not studied Psychology as one of the main subjects at the UG level. All the reputed regular MA Psychology institutions in the country demand from the applicants a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology or any relevant subject. Those who have studied Psychology as one of the main subjects at the UG level are also eligible to apply for MA Psychology admission in these institutions. However, you can apply for MA Psychology admission in any reputed distance education institution/university as these institutions do not have such stringent eligibility requirements. 

Given below are some of our detailed distance learning articles for you -
