Psychology Department

“We cannot change anything until we accept it”

The Department of Psychology at the School of Liberal Studies, KIIT Deemed to be University, was established in 2020 under the erstwhile School of Social, Financial, and Human Sciences. Despite being a relatively new department, we have quickly demonstrated our commitment to excellence in education and research. Our first undergraduate and postgraduate batches graduated in 2023, marking a significant milestone in our journey.
