The Department of Psychology was established in 1969. First, at the graduate level, with a handful of students and one teacher, the department started postgraduate teaching, and since then, the department has been running smoothly with a sizeable number of students. Gradually, the number of students, teachers, equipment, books, and manpower has increased. At present, one professor, two assistant professors, one guest faculty member, a lab technician, and a laboratory attendant are posted in the department.

The UG syllabus is based on NEP 2020 in the annual examination system.

The PG courses are running in a semester system.
