Hi,

You need to pursue M.Phil In Clinical Psychology to be a Clinical Psychologist. You may pursue M.Phil Clinical Psychology just after your Master in Psychology. no matter you have MA Psychology / MA Applied Psychology / MSc Psychology / MSc Applied Psychology or with other specialization like Clinical and Child. You can pursue M.Phil in Clinical Psychology.

To be a registered Clinical Psychologist in India one must do an M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology. A Masters Degree is not enough.

If you want to start your own practice then you will need to register with the rehabilitation council of India (RCI) as a clinical psychologist.

Hope this helps.

All the Best.
