If I come back to India after studying in the UK, can I practice as a psychologist in India after getting a license there?

Yes, you can practice as a psychologist in India after studying in the UK, but you must meet the requirements set by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI).

- The UK and India have an agreement for mutual recognition of academic qualifications, so your UK degree may be accepted.
- To practice as a clinical psychologist in India, you need a qualification recognized by the RCI - typically an M.Phil. in Clinical Psychology from an RCI-approved institution, which includes supervised clinical training.

Even with a UK degree, you will need to complete the RCI's specific educational and training requirements to obtain a license to practice in India.
