Yes, you can pursue a Postgraduate Diploma (PGD) in Clinical Psychology after completing an MA in Psychology from Amity University Online. Ensure that the PGD program you are interested in is recognized and aligns with your career goals, as specific prerequisites may vary by institution. I hope this information is useful and clears your doubts, but if you still have any queries, you can visit College Vidya or connect with the counselor.

Yes, absolutely you can apply for the PGD in Clinical Psychology. The Professional Diploma in Clinical Psychology is a 1-year course pursued after completing a Master's in Psychology. This program is recognized by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI), allowing graduates to apply for an RCI license and begin working as Clinical Psychologists (Associate).


To pursue this course, you need an M.A. or M.Sc. degree in Psychology (or in Counseling Psychology, Clinical Psychology, or Applied Psychology) from a UGC-recognized university with at least 55% marks in aggregate. For SC/ST/OBC candidates, 50% marks are required as per GOI regulations.


Each year, only a small group of students can join due to the need for in-person teaching. The maximum allowed is 16 students per group, regardless of the number of qualified faculty members or available facilities at the center.
