Is it possible to appear for the licensing exam in India after completing my masters abroad for a Master's?
Yes, you can appear for the licensing exam in India after completing your Master's abroad, but there are important steps to follow.
- Your foreign degree must meet the standards set by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) and the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP) Act, 2021.
- After your Master's, you must register with the RCI to practice as a clinical psychologist in India.
- Additional training or supervised clinical hours may be required, depending on your specialization.
- Licensing exam details for foreign-trained psychologists are still being finalized and are subject to change.
Keep all academic and training documents ready, and stay updated with RCI and NCAHP notifications on the latest requirements. If you need guidance on your specific case, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
