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 (2022–2026)
"My years at this college were some of the most formative and memorable times of my life. Beyond academics, it was a place where I built lifelong friendships, discovered my interests and grew in confidence. The faculty were always approachable and supportive. I am grateful for the education and the sense of belonging that made this college feel like a second home."

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."
