A Landmark for Clinical
Psychology Education

MGM University has been officially listed by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) at Serial No. 424, Institute Code MH117, for two prestigious professional programmes in Clinical Psychology — the Master of Clinical Psychology (M.Clin.Psy.) and the Professional Diploma in Clinical Psychology (P.D.(Cl.Psy.)).

This achievement is especially significant as MGM University becomes the first and only institution in the Marathwada region with these RCI-recognised Professional Clinical Psychology programmes.
