I might get AUD, NSUT and most Central Universities ( I am leaning towards Rajasthan since home state) according to my CUET PG score

I want to get into academics in long term and want to focus on NET prep and research primarily. Which college should I prioritise? Considering factors such as:

1. College academics
2. Finances
3. Time I will get for NET prep and research projects

I would be grateful if you help me gain more perspective on this.

(Rant) I'm so frustrated. I'm graduating from my 4 year B.Sc honors clinical psychology degree this year and have spent last 5-6 months just figuring out what to do next and applying and preparing for all these entrances. But every single day things just become more and more unclear and I'm just losing track of everything to the point that I'm left wondering if it's even worth it.

I have interned in the clinical field and ever since i've been really interested in it and wanted to pursue it only but becoming a clinical psychologist seems so tough. Idk if im the coward for feeling this way. I have my nimhans exam in a few days and that single exam is costing me around 30k, and its for 10 seats. There's no guarantee and it doesnt stop there. Each college's application form is atleast 1k+ every different amity different form. I come from a middle class family and seeing all these costs (plus the travel, effort, time, confusion) and then seeing the job market, i cant help but wonder if there's any roi that makes this struggle worth it or is it just ki everyone is doing it so u have to.

I was talking to one of my friends about the same and she just said that there's no other way and sb krte h toh krna he pdega. I mean it doesnt quite sit right with me.

I keep feeling that this field is for the priviledged but noone around me agrees with it and say things like bohot scope hai, its a growing field, har field me karna padta h struggle and likes of it. Am i being too negative? Im unable to understand if my perception of things is wrong here.

Dont get me wrong i love this profession and consider it a nobel profession but at the end of the day i am my family's hope for a bright future, and none of that will be possible if im unable to earn.

The system is so fudged up.

With each form i fill, my will to pursue clinical psychology is fading. Does that make me a quitter? Idk what to do from here. Any advice would be appreciated.

If you’re studying in SCAC, Pune for bachelors can you drop your experience here (especially as a non-maharashtrian student)

Hi guys, I'm going to Bangalore this summer and I have no idea what to expect lol. and I'm struggling to find good backup accommodation.

is there anyone that has done the 1 month internship at NIMHANS? how was your experience? what is expected of the students in an observership? do they give the hostel to everyone or should i just look for PGs?

any help/suggestion would be great thank you :)

I'm a 12th passout. I scored 83.6% in my cbse boards exam(science). I want to get into a good college but with average fees structure. Although I have given my cuet but it didn't go well. So I have really low hopes in it. Please help me out in finding some good colleges with tuition fees around 1-1.5lakh.

24 f currently doing my MSc Psychology (1st year), and in a few months I’ll complete my second semester. My long term goal is to become a clinical psychologist, but I’m genuinely confused about what path I should take next.

For context, I already completed a 3 year bachelor’s degree and right now I’m doing a regular MSc Psychology program.

However, with all the recent changes and the importance of RCI recognition, I know that eventually I’ll need an RCI recognized Clinical Psychology degree/program if I want to properly work in the field.

Right now, I’m stuck between two options:

1- Complete my current MSc Psychology fully (which would end around Aug/Sept 2027), and then prepare for entrances like NIMHANS, Christ, etc. for an RCI- ecognized Clinical Psychology master’s/program afterward.

or

2 - Complete only my first year, take it as a PG diploma/exit option, and immediately start preparing for entrances like NIMHANS, JRF, Christ, etc. so that I can hopefully get into an RCI recognized Clinical Psychology course sooner and save some time.

the reason I’m confused is because I feel like if I complete the current MSc first, I may lose extra years before entering proper clinical training. But at the same time, leaving midway also feels risky because admissions are so competitive, and I don’t know if having only a PG diploma would weaken my profile if things don’t work out immediately.

I genuinely want to make a practical decision instead of an emotionally rushed one. Has anyone here been in a similar situation, especially in the Indian psychology/RCI pathway? What would you suggest?

I have gotten into christ for bsc psychology and I am giving cuet in a few days and would like to get into du. In case I do get in, which of the two colleges is more hectic? Du ( such as lsr ) or christ??? Ik education is important but I can't lose my own mental health while learning to help others about it!!! Plssssss plss gimme your honest opinions. Also, what should my score on cuet be out of 1000 to get into delhi?

Has anyone gone through the recent May 2026 judgment related to psychology training and qualifications? Could someone clarify whether the M.Phil. in Psychology is still valid? I am currently in the 4th year of my bachelor’s in Psychology

should I continue on this path, or are there changes I should be aware of? Like at this point I really don't know

Please help me I scored 77% in my CBSE class 12th boards, I couldn’t give cuet and I surely want to study psychology. I fought with my father for this but I couldn’t find any college for UG at a reasonable fee. I have filled the form of Ferguson college, pune but tbh the chances of me getting in are in negative. PLEASE SUGGEST ME SOMETHING. I need to get out of here

I have been getting calls and texts from Rishihood university, Jain university and MIT WPU for Bsc Psychology for admission. Should I Apply to these universities?
And DY Patil Navi Mumbai BA Psychology course worth it?

I'm calling for action a mass emailing campaign and social media pressuring to change the way the university treats us as applicants, we paid for our entrances and your applications yet we are treated as cattle .

Please copy the email format attached and email it to

pg@admission.du.ac.in

And tag them in twitter stating the issue you are facing tag them and NTA

We as students must take action tag Du , on twitter instagram , call them , email them and pressure them into doing their jobs , millions of students future rests on this , they won't give priority to one call if we can organise online we can solve Major issues

i do not understand the need to upload so many different documents? firstly they asked for hoarding certificate, anti ragging, now medical fitness?? what is that supposed to mean and how to proceed with it? if anyone can help me out here, thank you

I am applying for both the MA Psychology at Dept of Psy (North) and Zakir Husain, and MA Applied Psy at Dept of Psy (South).
I am unclear on the last two blanks.
