M.A. Psychology admissions are either done on the basis of merit or through the university/college's own entrance exam, and so you might want to first identify the universities that you would like to apply to. Further it is necessary for the candidate to have completed his/her graduation from a recognised University. Assuming you fulfil the criteria, you can start by having a look at the university websites including Delhi University, IILM University Gurugram, Banasthali University to name a few that offer an M.A. In Psychology.

Event management as a field has become crowded with much small-time amateur young people also getting into it, plus it is not a structured industry kind of set up. It seems it does not even need an MBA kind of qualification Since many short term courses are available in this field. However, if you choose some specific kinds of events (marriages, corporate events) there will be much less competition. I Would prefer NAEMD. Their connections are good actually. For events, that is the basic requirement. I have experienced some of my acquaintances pursuing graduation from these institutes. Therefore, I can say the NAEMD events are much more in the news as compare to its counterpart. Therefore, NAEMD is a good alternative.

Compare the fees, course duration, specialisation, faculty, hands-on experience, etc.
