No, you cannot do an MD in Psychiatry directly after a BSc in Psychology in India.An MD (Doctor of Medicine) is a postgraduate medical degree program in India. It requires MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) as the qualifying degree. BSc in Psychology is a non-medical undergraduate program.

The first step is to pursue MBBS from a recognized medical college in India. This typically takes 4.5 to 5 years to complete. You can appear for the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) for admission into MBBS programs.

After completing MBBS, you'll need to qualify for NEET PG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate Courses). This exam determines your eligibility for admission to postgraduate medical courses like MD in Psychiatry.

After completing MBBS, you need to qualify for NEET PG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate Courses). This exam determines your eligibility for admission to postgraduate medical courses like MD in Psychiatry.

Based on your score in NEET PG, you can apply for MD Psychiatry programs at various medical colleges and universities across India. These programs typically last for 3 years.

I hope it helps!
