Is logistic regression only for binary classification or can it be applied for multi class classifications as well.
Also, can you please list down what are other classification methods for multi classes(for more than 2 classes)

Multinomial logistic regression can be used to do multi class classification.
In addition, we can always use "one vs. rest" to turn binary classification to multi class classification (wikipedia Multiclass classification Transformation to Binary section.

$\begingroup$ @DrunkenMaster a good place to start would be to review questions bearing the multinomial-logit tag. $\endgroup$– Sycorax ♦Commented Nov 29, 2017 at 14:47
