Have a question related to NIMHANS Bangalore ?

Is MA in clinical psychology is their in Nimhans for 2025 . And what's the date of entrance exam for this courses can you please tell me when will admission form will out.

As of now, NIMHANS does not officially offer an MA in Clinical Psychology program for 2025 instead, they currently offer an M.Phil in Clinical Psychology which is expected to transition to an MA Clinical Psychology program in the near future following new guidelines from the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI).

For m.phil in clinical psychology admission form will be out in month of February and entrance exam will be conducted in the month of june.so for 2025 it is likely to be same as previous year.
