Entrance Exams & Admissions : To study masters in clinical psychology you need to have taken at least 3 papers of Psychology in your degree course. I had studied BA with major in psychology before applying for masters. Admission in MU is merit-based. Also, you can give preference and accordingly get admission in one of the 3 specialization fields offered in MU. They are Social, industrial and clinical psychology. The cutoffs differ for open and reserved categories. Cutoffs also differ for the 3 specializations. For open cutoffs can be around 85-87%. For reserved categories, they can be till 65%.
