M.Phil students carry out empirical research work, as part of their dissertations. Research is both applied and basic covering various areas such as Educational, Social, Organisational, Consumer, Rehabilitation, Health and Clinical Psychology in addition to construction and standardization of various Psychological tests that would be applicable to the Indian contexts. Research is also encouraged at the undergraduate level. The faculty members of the Psychology Department have numerous publications in National and International peer reviewed journals. Students at all levels actively take part in paper presentations in Conferences and Symposiums and have won prizes as well.

 The faculty of the Department constantly update their expertise in research by attending various Conferences/ workshops organised at the State, National and International levels. A UGC Major Research project and Minor research project have been successfully completed by the Department. 

Workshops are being organised regularly for post graduate students and research scholars on Research methodology and use of SPSS. Students learn to be ethically responsible researchers as well as sensitive to the needs of the community. They learn the skills of scientific report writing using APA format. Two doctorates of the Department are manuscript editors of prestigious International level Psychology journals. All researches are permitted to be carried out only after approval is obtained from the Independent Ethics Committee which has been formulated based on ICMR guidelines.
