Psychology offers ‘clear career path’

Eligibility: Only 11 colleges in DU teach psychology and six of these are women's only. The cutoff is usually 95% and above in Daulat Ram, Gargi, Indraprastha, Kamala Nehru, Lady Shri Ram and Vivekananda. Not having studied it in classes XI and XII will invite docking of 2.5% from aggregate.

Course content: Psychology is application-based with several papers including a practical component. There are papers on statistical and physiological psychology (brain and behaviour). "You understand things like prejudice, discrimination, road rage," says Ahuja.

Road ahead: Ahuja explains that psychology "offers a clear-cut career trajectory". A combination of industrial/organizational psychology and HR management trains you for work. Many join HR departments right after college.
