Hi , i am from pcb background, I want to become clinical psychologist, but most of the colleges are not providing bsc in clinical psychology, either they are providing ba or bsc in psychology, should i go for bsc in psychology, will i get the license? Just as in bsc in clinical psychology course?

Iam bhms graduate can i opt msc clinical psychology????

[@sanchitapnath1065]

I m non psychology background doing Masters from. Ignou 1st yr want to be a clinical psychologist, is there any hope.

[@theshubhamsingh]

Hi If the Mphil continues, then you can still go for it and become a Clinical Psychologist but if MA in Clinical Psychology replaces it then the eligibility is changed and you won't be able become a Clinical Psychologist as per my understanding. We will have to wait for updates from RCI

[@shaikhwaqar9306]

Hi I have done BAMS (equivalent to graduation but not psychology)want's to become clinical psychologist what to do??

[@theshubhamsingh]

Hi You will need to do Masters to become a counselling psychologist first and then Mphil (which might be changed to Master in Clinical Psychology) to become a clinical psychologist

I'm pcm student and about to take ba honours in psychology, so can i still pursue my career in psychology Or should i have to take bsc honours only ?

[@theshubhamsingh]

Hi You can go with BA Psychology Hons if it is from a recognized University. Old pathways to become psychologist still exists.

Hi i am from pcb background and i took one year drop for neet but not getting any good clg so i wanted to pursue clinical psychology but i am confused if i should do normal bsc psychology or bsc Clinical psychology or wait for the new course of bsc clinical psychology of 4 yrs?

[@theshubhamsingh]

Hi Ananya According to me, your aim should be finalised first whether you want to become a clinical psychologist or a counselling psychologist. I would not suggest waiting for the new course as we have no idea when it will start and wasting a year is not worth this. You can still pursue bachelors in psychology and masters then to become a counseling psychologist. If you are getting a good college this year, then I would highly suggest you go for it.

[@akleemachaudhary6502]

I am not from psychology background but thinking to apply for master's in counselling psychology...so can I become a clinical psychologist?if not then what is the pathway for non psychology background to become a clinical psychologist?

[@theshubhamsingh]

You will have to do your masters and then go for Mphil or MA in Clinical Psychology (which is supposed to be replacing Mphil, but confirmation is awaited. If you do your masters in Psychology, then you will become a counseling psychologist.

I have completed my 3rd year in applied psychology and my college is offering to upgrade my third year program to fourth year, so do i have to take a drop yr to pursue ma (clinical psyc ) since mphil is going to discontinue after 2026 or i can pursue next year as well?

[@theshubhamsingh]

Hi Avni As of now, if you want to do your Mphil, you need to have done your masters to be eligible for the same but for the replacement of Mphil, you can have bachelors of 4 years to be eligible, so according to me you can go for the 4th year as well considering you don't want to do your masters. Otherwise, you can go for 2 years masters after 3 year bachelors to be eligible in both the cases (Mphil or MA in Clinical Psychology)

Hi I am from Humanities background and i want to become a clinical psychologist. I am a bit confused about what to do or what not.... What are the RCI approved institutes for BA psychology?& Am i eligible for BSC clinical psychology? Recently,( Amity University Mohali Punjab) selected me for "BSC" Clinical Psychology Honours/Research on the basis of merit. How is this possible, they select me from arts background. Please reply ASAP. Thanks.

[@theshubhamsingh]

Hi Insha Regarding Bsc Psychology, the notice which RCI has released few days ago mentioning about the same is a different course. They are RCI accredited courses from specific colleges. If you download the list of RCI approved institutions and see the list then BSc Clinical psychology is not under Amity University which means the course you are selected for is a normal BSc which was happening previously. RCI has not given anymore info about the list of institutions who provide New BSc Clinical Psychology. I will update when we receive the list after RCI releases something. If you from Humanities background then you won't be eligible for the new BSc Clinical Psychology

[@Insha-dh8qb]

@@theshubhamsingh Is it important that BA or BSC in Psychology should alse be approved by RCI? Or only MA and Mphil?

[@theshubhamsingh]

@Insha-dh8qb The normal BA or BSc are UGC recognized, not RCI recognized. Also, current MA are also UGC recognized. The one which RCI is going to introduce like BSc in Clinical Psychology and MA in Clinical Psychology needs to be RCI recognized.
