Hello dear candidate,

Under the new RCI rules you cannot directly join M.Psy (clinical psychology) as an B.Sc. forensic science student as your degree is not in psychology.

you will need to complete a 1 year master's in psychology from a recognized university then you can apply for M.Psy. to become a licensed clinical psychologist.

you can also consider M.Sc. in clinical psychology or forensic psychology.
