Yes, you are generally eligible for psychology programs abroad with your background.

Most universities require:
- Academic qualifications: A four-year bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, usually with a minimum of 7.0 CGPA or equivalent (requirements vary by institution).
- English proficiency: IELTS or TOEFL scores are typically needed if your previous education was not in English. Minimum scores are usually IELTS 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0) or TOEFL iBT 90.
- Supporting documents: Statement of Purpose (SOP), Letters of Recommendation (LORs), and a CV highlighting your academic and extracurricular achievements.
- Extracurricular activities: While not always mandatory, internships, volunteering, research, or work experience in psychology or related areas can strengthen your application.

Requirements and minimum marks are subject to change by university and country.
