Greetings! Here's a detailed response to your query

If you want to get into the M.Sc. Clinical Psychology program at Manipal, you'll need to take their entrance exam, called the Manipal Entrance Test, or MET. Think of it like a big multiple-choice quiz. They're mainly checking how much you know about psychology. So, you'll be answering questions on things like how the brain works, how people grow and change, different mental disorders, and how people act in groups. You’ll also get questions on how to test people's mental health, different therapy methods, research and stats, some basic psychiatry and how the brain and mind work together, and psychology for kids and teens.

(https://www.manipal.edu/soahs-manipal.html) If you score high enough, they'll call you back for a few more steps. First, there's a Department Test, which is probably another test, but more focused on specific areas of psychology. Then, you'll have a personal interview, where they'll want to talk to you face-to-face and see if you're a good fit for the program.

The main thing they're testing is your psychology knowledge. But keep in mind, they might sneak in a few questions that test your general smarts, too, but they’ll probably wrap them in a psychology context.

To make sure you have the latest information, it's always best to go straight to the Manipal University website. They'll have the most accurate details about the exam, the syllabus, and the whole admission process.

Here's the link to their website  (https://www.manipal.edu/soahs-manipal.html)

I hope this helps.

Hi aspirant,

Under the new guidelines of RCI you can get a job just after completing your graduation in clinical psychology. The graduation course allows you to be a counselling psychologist, not a clinical psychologist. To become a clinical psychologist, you need to do further education. Without higher education, you cannot diagnose or treat severe mental health disorders.

After graduating with a BSc in clinical psychology, apply for CRR registration. After successful registration, you will get your RCI license, and with that, you can work as a counselling psychologist in various settings such as mental health clinics, community health centers, schools and institutes. The starting salary in these starts from INR 2.5-4 LPA.

Check the more details about this course and top colleges.

The Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) has recently introduced a four-year B.Sc. Clinical Psychology (Hons.) program aimed at addressing the shortage of mental health professionals.  Graduates of this program will be eligible for registration with RCI as "Counseling Psychologist (Mental Health)."

Implications of the New RCI Regulations:

• Increased Workforce: The introduction of this undergraduate program is expected to produce more professionals in the field, potentially increasing competition for roles traditionally held by those with advanced degrees.

• Professional Designation: Graduates will be recognized as "Counseling Psychologist (Mental Health)" upon registration with RCI.

Concerns Raised:

• Quality of Training: Some professionals have expressed concerns about the adequacy of training provided at the undergraduate level for handling complex mental health issues.

• Regulatory Overlap: There is ambiguity regarding the roles and recognition of professionals trained under different programs, leading to potential confusion in the field.

Conclusion:

The new RCI regulations aim to expand the mental health workforce through the B.Sc. Clinical Psychology (Hons.) program. While this may lead to increased competition in the field, the long-term impact on career saturation will depend on factors such as the quality of training, evolving industry standards, and the growing demand for mental health services. indian express (https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/psychologists-rci-guidlines-9437096/)
