BA Psychology (2021–2024)

"Admission to Kristu Jayanti was like a light at the end of a dark tunnel post my 12th grade. I chose BA Psychology against all skepticism. Kristu Jayanti provided a safe haven to hone my skills beyond academics — organising fests, pro-environment drives, compering events and debate club. I graduated proud of saying yes to the many opportunities this institution offered."

BA Psychology and English Literature (2021–2024)

"One term I heard frequently was 'Holistic Development' — and it truly encompasses my experience pursuing a double major in Psychology and English. Through fests like Cognizance, Manodarshan, Delphia and theatre productions, the institution shaped my ability to bridge academic theories with real-life application."
