The M.Sc. Clinical Psychology programme at Pimpri Chinchwad University marks a significant academic expansion following the successful implementation of the 4-year B.Sc. Clinical Psychology programme. This programme responds to the rising prevalence of mental health issues in India, the acute shortage of trained mental health professionals, and the NEP 2020 emphasis on multidisciplinary and practice-oriented learning.
Aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020), UGC's Curriculum and Credit Framework (2022–23), and the Rehabilitation Council of India's (RCI) recommended academic structure, the programme provides rigorous theoretical grounding, case-based learning, practicum training, and specialization pathways—preparing graduates for advanced professional roles, supervised practice, and doctoral research including RCI-recognized higher studies (M.Phil Clinical Psychology / PsyD).
For graduates from Psychology, Life Sciences, Allied Health, and other relevant disciplines.
For 4-year B.Sc./BA Psychology (Honours/Honours with Research) graduates with CGPA ≥ 7.0.
