LPU launches RCI-approved M.A. Clinical Psychology program, offering students a pathway to become licensed Clinical Psychologists in India. Admissions open—limited seats. Apply now.
Jalandhar — Lovely Professional University (LPU) has introduced a prestigious M.A. in Clinical Psychology program, approved by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI). This two-year postgraduate course is designed to meet national regulatory standards and provide students with the clinical competencies required to become RCI-licensed Clinical Psychologists, eligible to practice in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and other recognized institutions across India.
Admissions are now open for a limited number of seats, and applications will close soon. Interested candidates must appear for the LPUNEST entrance exam. Scholarship eligibility is based on a 70:30 evaluation—70% weightage from LPUNEST scores and 30% from interview performance.
What distinguishes this program is its clinical-first approach, offering immersive, real-world training from the outset. Students gain hands-on experience through supervised fieldwork in hospitals and rehabilitation centres, guided by professional mentors. This aligns with LPU’s EduRevolution model, which prioritizes experiential learning over traditional, theory-heavy instruction.
“Our goal is to develop professionals who are field-ready from day one,” said Dr. Pavitar Prakash Singh, Senior Dean and Professor at LPU. “This program bridges academic learning with clinical practice, ensuring students meet the standards of modern mental health care in India.”
With rising awareness and demand for mental health services across the country, this program offers a clear, structured pathway into a regulated and high-impact profession. Graduates of the program will be eligible for RCI registration, a key requirement for practicing as a Clinical Psychologist in India.
Applications are now being accepted through the official university website. Given the program’s specialized nature and limited seats, early application is highly recommended.
