Should you pick M.Phil Clinical Psychology at MAHE?

This course suits students who want to work as clinical psychologists and can pay the full fee without a stipend.

Pick it if:
You want to train inside a hospital: the department works with patients at the hospital in Manipal, so you practise therapy and testing with real cases.
You want to register as a clinical psychologist: the department is recognised by the RCI, and the licence asks for an RCI course like this one.
You have an MA or MSc Psychology with 55%: you can write the MET, and the department test and interviews then decide the seat.
You want a university with a strong name: MAHE is #3 in the NIRF University ranking 2025 and holds NAAC A++.
Skip it if:
You need a stipend to live on: MAHE pays no stipend on this course, and you pay the full fee of INR 9.10 Lakhs yourself.
You want to live in a big city: Manipal is a small university town in Udupi district, so most of your clinical work stays on campus.
You want the old M.Phil name on your degree: MAHE now calls this RCI course MA Clinical Psychology, so check the 2027 notice.
You plan to apply late in the season: the 2026 form closed on 26 Apr 2026, so apply in the first MET phase.

FAQs on MAHE M.Phil Clinical Psychology

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is M.Phil Clinical Psychology at MAHE worth the fee?▾
Yes, if you want to work as a licensed clinical psychologist and can pay without a stipend. The full fee is INR 9.10 Lakhs without hostel, and the course is recognised by the RCI. If you need a stipend to live on, apply to the government institutes too before you decide.
What job will I get after this course?▾
You can register with the RCI and work as a clinical psychologist. Most work in hospitals, clinics, schools or their own practice. MAHE does not publish placement figures for this course, so ask the department where the last batch works before you join.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a stipend or want to live in a big city. MAHE pays no stipend, and Manipal is a small university town in Udupi district. If either matters more to you than the hospital training, look at other RCI courses first.
Should I take this course if I have only a three-year BA in Psychology?▾
Not yet. You need an MA or MSc Psychology with 55%, or a four-year BA or BSc Psychology with 55% from 2026. Finish your master's first, then apply in the first MET phase of the next cycle.
Is this course good for a PhD or research later?▾
Yes, it helps. Year 2 includes a dissertation, so you learn to plan and write a study. If research is your goal, pick a dissertation topic that fits the PhD area you want, and talk to a faculty guide early in year 1.
Is the course still called M.Phil at MAHE?▾
Not from 2026. MAHE lists this RCI course as MA Clinical Psychology (RCI), formerly M.Phil. The training is still two years and full time. Before you pay, check the degree name and the RCI approval in the 2027 admission notice.
Should I wait a year to apply with better marks?▾
Only if you are below 55% now. With 55% or more in your master's, you can apply this cycle, and the seat goes on your MET score, the department test and the interviews. Waiting a year will not raise your chances if you already meet the rule.
Is the fee worth it if MAHE pays no stipend?▾
It depends on how you pay. The full fee is INR 9.10 Lakhs, or INR 11.40 Lakhs with a basic hostel room and mess. If you take a loan, check the EMI line in the fee block above, and apply for the Scholar scholarship if you had 70% in UG.
Is Manipal the right place for clinical training?▾
Yes, if hospital work matters to you. The department trains students with patients at the hospital in Manipal. If you want a big city for your weekends, remember that Manipal is a small town, so most of your time stays on campus.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Apply online on apply.manipal.edu, then write the MET. If your score is high enough, you face a department test and interviews. MAHE then offers the seat in merit order, and you must pay the admission fee by the last date in the offer.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full two-year programme fee is INR 9.10 Lakhs without hostel. A non-AC double room with mess adds INR 1.15 Lakhs a year, so the total with hostel is INR 11.40 Lakhs. The toggle in the fee block shows both totals.
Do I get a scholarship on this course?▾
Maybe, if you are in the General category. The Scholar scholarship gives a 20% waiver to top merit ranks with 70% in UG. Children of MAHE alumni and Konkani speaking students can get 10%. Use the calculator above to check your answers.
