Yes, you can pursue a career as a psychologist even with a humanities background. You may begin with a BA or B.Sc in Psychology, followed by an MA or M.Sc in the same field. To gain practical experience, consider internships. If you aspire to become a clinical psychologist, pursuing an M.Phil/Ph.D or an RCI-recognized course is recommended. This field offers promising career opportunities both in India and abroad.

Wishing you all the best for your future..

Hello

If Psychology isn't available in your school , you can still pursue it by :

1. Self-Study : Read NCERT Psychology books and take online courses.

4. Gaining Experience : Attend workshops, do internships and explore mental health volunteering.

5. Higher Studies : Pursue a Master’s in Clinical, Counseling or Industrial Psychology.

Hope this gives you the clarity you need.

Hello,

Here’s a comparison to help you decide:

Clinical Psychology  :

• Takes 5–8 years (BA/BSc + MA/MSc + MPhil/PhD) to become a licensed psychologist.
• Requires supervised training and internships.
• Financial returns are slow but stable in the long run.
• High emotional satisfaction if you enjoy helping people.
• Career options: therapist, counselor, researcher, professor.

MBA :

• Takes 2 years (after any bachelor's degree).
• Immediate job opportunities in corporate sectors.
• Higher salary potential early in your career.
• Competitive but broad career options (finance, marketing, HR).

Choose based on passion (psychology) vs. financial stability (MBA).

Hello there,

Yes, you can become a psychologist with a B.A. LL.B. in Psychology, but you'll need to take additional steps to specialize in psychology. Here's how:

Steps to Become a Psychologist:

1. Complete B.A. LL.B. with Psychology Specialization: Your B.A. LL.B. provides a foundation in psychology, but it primarily focuses on law. To become a psychologist, you'll need further specialized education in psychology.
   
   

2. Pursue a Master's Degree in Psychology: After your B.A. LL.B., pursue a Master's degree (M.A. or M.Sc.) in Psychology. This will give you the in-depth knowledge and skills required to practice as a psychologist.
   
   

3. Specialize in a Psychology Field: Choose a specialization based on your interest, such as Clinical Psychology, Counseling Psychology, or Organizational Psychology.
   
   

4. Complete Internships/Practical Training: Gain practical experience through internships or supervised training, which is often required for licensure or certification.
   
   

5. Obtain Licensure/Certification: Depending on your country, you may need to obtain a license or certification to practice as a psychologist. This may involve passing an exam and meeting other requirements.
   
   

6. Consider Further Studies (Optional): If you wish to become a clinical psychologist or pursue a career in academia, consider a Ph.D. or Psy.D. in Psychology.
   
   Career Path:

• Counseling Psychologist: Work in schools, hospitals, or private practice.
  
  
• Clinical Psychologist: Diagnose and treat mental health disorders (may require a Ph.D.).
  
  
• Organizational Psychologist: Work in corporate settings focusing on employee well-being and productivity.

Your B.A. LL.B. with Psychology can serve as a strong foundation, but you'll need to follow these steps to become a qualified psychologist.

TISS offers a Master's in Applied Psychology (Clinical and Counselling Practice).  While this program equips you with valuable knowledge and skills, it  doesn't directly qualify you as a licensed clinical psychologist in India .

This program focuses on developing skills in assessment and intervention for mental health and emotional well-being. It equips you to work in various settings like hospitals, clinics, and NGOs.

TISS's program seems to be designed to provide a foundation in both clinical and counselling psychology. You might not choose a specific specialization (clinical or counselling) within the program itself.


A Master's degree in psychology is the first step. TISS's program is a good starting point.After your Master's, you need to pursue an M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology or a Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) program, which are typically research-oriented and include clinical training. These programs are offered by a limited number of universities in India.The Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) regulates the practice of psychology in India. After completing an M.Phil. or Psy.D. program, you'll need to register with the RCI to practice as a clinical psychologist. Registration involves an internship and an exam.
