Sorry, it is not possible to study PhD in Psychology after completion of BTech course. Basic eligibility to study PhD Psychology is a post graduate degree in relevant subject or equivalent with minimum 55% marks from a recognized university. Therefore, it is not possible to study PhD in Psychology after completion of engineering graduation. You can pursue a PhD in the engineering stream after completion of MTech program.

To pursue PhD in psychology you need to pass Master's / M.Phil with minimum 55% from recognised University. One need to sit for the entrance examination.
As you have completed your BTech hence, you need to pursue M.tech or Master's course in any other field then only you will be eligible to pursue PhD in Psychology.

No, you can't pursue Ph.D in Psychology, if you have a B.Tech degree, which is not at all related to the field. You need a minum of M.A degree in psychology with 55% marks to become eligible for it.

Engineering and psychology are not related and for doing a research level program, you need at least a PG level degree in the concerned subject.

As you have completed your Bachelor of Technology degree course hence still you are not eligible to pursue PhD in psychology because minimum qualification required to pursue PhD in psychology is a master's degree course or M Phil.

So, you have to pursue your Mtech or any other course in psychology as a post graduation.

After your post graduation you will have to qualify the entrance test to pursue PhD and that would be UGC NET.

Eligibility to study PhD in psychology:-

Candidate should have masters degree with the minimum of 50% aggregate marks in science.
