What is the difference between a clinical neuropsychologist and a neuropsychologist? AND Is clinical neuropsychologist same as clinical psychologist?
Clinical neuropsychology is a sub-field of psychology concerned with the applied science of brain-behaviour relationships. A clinical neuropsychologist must be able to determine whether a symptom(s) may be caused by an injury to the head through interviewing a patient in order to determine what actions should be taken to best help the patient.
Neuropsychologist often focus on how injuries or illnesses of the brain affect cognitive functions and behaviours. They have a doctorate in psychology and training in neuropsychology.
A neuropsychologist is interested in the brain's cognitive functions, such as attention, language, and memory. This is different from a clinical psychologist , who mainly focuses on behaviours and emotions and therapy for related concerns.

hi,
see clinical psychologist position is fills by recruitment test and follows by interview in most of the medical and hospital, however time to time recruitment process might differ, but you must have the eligible qualifications along with relevant experience, after 12th study you need to take bachelors in psychology , after that you need to study masters in clinical psychology. some of the top university has internship opportunity for students who are in masters course, however since government hospitals has limited number of vacancy comes , you need to check regularly for the recruitment notices.
