M.A. students also pursue this course,so my mbbs will be of use or waste?
am i elligeble 4 directly applying in phd ?
it has decent scope in india in terms of pay packages as well but to pursue the career of a psychologist, one should have a genuine desire to help other human beings o/w the degree might go in vain .

The highest- paying position is for psychologists having M.Phil and Ph.D degree. Remunerations in the corporate sector are the highest, though salaries vary according to the level of involvement and the job profile.
At the entry level the remuneration varies approximately from Rs. 5000/- to Rs.8000/-. Established consultants can earn at an average between Rs.8000 to Rs.10,000 or even more. Those are in private practice have much more earnings.

Clinical Psychologists work in counseling centers, independent or group practices, hospitals, community health centers or clinics. They help mentally and emotionally disturbed clients adjust to life and may help medical and surgical patients deal with illnesses or injuries. Areas of specialization within clinical psychology include health psychology, neuro psychology, and gero psychology.

no, your degree will not be wasted . M.A. students offered jobs in different specializations and MBBS students in different . SO , they cannot be compared.
they offered specializations in educational,social,counselling,industrial psychologies whereas you can do all sorts of courses including above and clinical,research,development as well.

so, don't worry about it.

definitely!!!! , you are eligible for it .The course will be of 2 yrs. duration .
so, if you want to go for it , than go for it !!!

some of the good colleges for pursuing the course are :

~M.S. (Maharaja Sayajirao) University of Baroda : Faculty of Education and Psychology, Vadodara( Gujarat )

~Bangalore University, Bangalore( Karnataka )

~Gurunanak Dev University, Amritsar( Punjab )

Re: Scope of PhD in clinical psychology in India: Salary wise and Job wise?

Hello ,

There is an increasing demand for psychologist in almost every sector whether it is corporate, educational or social sector.

Psychology degree can find great employment opportunities in a number of sectors, especially in the field of clinical psychology, there are good opportunities available.

If you are clear about your interest in being a counselor/ lecturer, then you must do Phd in clinical psychology, rather than divert to the HR field.

Good Luck!

Re: Scope of PhD in clinical psychology in India: Salary wise and Job wise?

Friends,If you desire to go for Ph.D. you should clear the National Eligibility Test for Junior Research Fellowship and lectureship conducted by the University Grants Commission or the university-level examination.
The doctoral programmes are designed for students who wish to take up a career as a psychologist and involve themselves in psychological research and practice.
Job prospects: Teaching and research are two major avenues of employment for qualified psychologists who secure a Ph.D in clinical psychology.
You can also set up a clinic and start counselling independently. Psycotherapy can be offered by trained clinical psychologists.
Remuneration: Remuneration depends upon qualification, specialization and experience. Psychologist in school, collages and NGOs can easily get Rs 8000 to 10000 per month. Teaching psychology is also a profitable job. However those are in private practice have also have good earnings.
OK,

Re: Scope of PhD in clinical psychology in India: Salary wise and Job wise?

Hello All,

I am a commerce graduate and MBA and already in HR profession. I am very keen to pursue my education in Clinical Psychology. When inquired in the university of Mumbai ppl there said I first need to complete full time BA in psychology and then only you could get admission for masters and then for phd.

Can anyone suggest if any other option available to pursue masters without BA in clinical psychology or its compulsory?

Please also suggest institutes/college in Mumbai to pursue this course.
After going thru various posts I come to know that there is good scope for Clinical Psychology in India money wise as well as job wise, but is it really so in corporate sectors?
Do HR professionals have good scope after pursuing the masters or Phd in CP?

Hi All,

I am Management graduate and MBA and already in HR field. I am very keen to pursue education in Clinical Psychology. when inquired with university of Mumbai, People there said to do post graduation or PHD in psychology I first need to complete 3 years of full time bachelor degree in the psychology(BA). But since I am working I cannot afford to invest this much time for this course. Do I have any other option. Is there any part time option or if full time then night college option.


As per the above posts I got idea that money wise and career wise clinical psychology is really best, but what is scope in corporate companies/ In HR?

As a HR professional if I opt for this course, do you think I am on the right track?
