I did not understand the criterion for the 3+2 system students... What do we have to do ? BA+. MA in psychology and the psy D ?

Please rewatch. You will get it.

Ok thank you ma'am , but I'm not getting the notice on the RCI website. Would it be possible for u to provide the link ?

Connect with me on Linkedin. I will forward you the document.

@LindaAshok I have a bachelors in non psychology background and currently pursuing MA psychology from ignou. currently also have a full time job. what should i do ? should i start BA psychology as well? so that i can repeat MA psychology (RCI) again? when are they going to make me repeat 12th and 10th?

[@LindaAshok]

In some other comments thread you said RCI specifically wants MA after BA. Can you share that RCI document verbatim? Connect with me t.me/brainpov for this and related concerns you have.

Hi mam.. is UK masters in MSc clinical psychology recognised by RCI india? And what are the opportunities we have after returning to India?

[@LindaAshok]

Foreign degree in Clinical Psychology needs RCI approval. I have no update in this regard though. However, it is a general rule, you have to write an exam to prove compatibility.

[@AnOutlierOdyssey]

What about students who do 3 year ba in pschyology this year ,how can they become clinical psychologist?

[@LindaAshok]

I have answered this.

[@nobel_wolf.0232]

Just go for ma in psychology and than do pg in clinical psychology whis is rci approved and you can practice clinical psychology.

[@LindaAshok]

That was my initial strategy but that wont work as universities make their PGDipClinPsy recruitment stringent as per RCI. Always safe to have a bachelors in psych.

Hello, I took Arts in 12th including psychology subject. Now i got admission in BSC Clinical Psychology Honours/Research Program. The University selected me even after the new RCI rule that only science students can take BSC in Clinical Psychology. If i continue to do this degree will my degree be valid, will i be eligible to become a Clinical Psychologist? Ya fir BSC Clinical Psychology krne k baad bhi mai nahi ban skti Clinical Psycholigist? Please answer ASAP! Thanks

[@LindaAshok]

As long as you have 4 year BSc Clinical Psychology, great! Be sure the university is RCI approved for this course. You can practice as a counselling psychologist after 4 years of the programme and get direct entry to PsyD.

[@akleemachaudhary6502]

I did my bachelor's in Pol sci but want to pursue master in psychology...so is there any pathway to become clinical psychologist after doing MA in psychology(either in applied or counselling)

[@LindaAshok]

I have clarified what you need to do via the 3 pathways. Other than clincial, you can surely proceed with counselling or industrial psychology. You can also look up for forensic psychology.

[@saloni11]

Hello I am in 3rd year a student of BA psychology honors and preparing for entrance exam for MA in clinical psychology ,so after my MA I had to do psyD ?

If your BA Honors is of 4 years, then you can directly get into PsyD when the three exit points will apply.
