Should you pick M.Sc Clinical Psychology at Christ University?
This course suits students who want counselling, assessment or research work in mental health and can pay a private university fee.
Pick it if:
You want to work with children, families or communities: the course offers six tracks, including child and adolescent mental health and community mental health.
You want supervised clinical practice before you finish: semester 3 has a clinical internship in assessment and semester 4 is a full-time clinical internship.
You want a university whose pay data is rising: the median pay of its 2-year PG courses rose three years in a row, to INR 6.98 LPA.
You want counselling, research or wellness work: the course page lists school counsellor, NGO psychologist, researcher and corporate wellness roles as the usual paths.
Skip it if:
You want a licence to practise as a clinical psychologist: this M.Sc is not on the RCI (Rehabilitation Council of India) list, so the RCI-approved M.A. here suits you better.
You are paying the full fee yourself: at INR 4.78 Lakhs it is the costliest seat in the compare table below.
You live outside Karnataka: you pay INR 4.78 Lakhs, while a Karnataka student pays INR 4.38 Lakhs for the same seat.
Your degree did not have psychology every year: the university asks for it as a core paper in all years, so your form will not be accepted.
Counsellor's advice
If you want to practise as a licensed clinical psychologist, apply to the RCI-approved M.A. instead. If counselling, research or wellness work is your goal, apply here and keep a lower-fee college as a backup.

Can I pursue LLB from Christ University without BBA or BA?
Rohan TiwariLLM from Christ University (2016 Batch)
No, you cannot pursue LLB from Christ University without BBA or BA. My name is Rohan Tiwari. I have completed an LLM from Christ University. This is the same question that I had before.
Christ University, Bangalore offers different law courses including integrated LLB and LLM. School of love Christ University does not offer a direct LLB course. Candidates wishing to pursue LLB course must have to complete 10 + 2 or any Bachelors Degree for minimum 3 years. One cannot opt LLB without any prior Bachelor's degree. But if anyone likes to do only LLB then they have to spend 1 year extra which means that if someone has intentionally or unintentionally completed a 3-years degree course like BA, BCom, BBA, etc. then one can pursue a 3 years LLB course. So I have done BA Hons from Pune University but due to the transfer of my father, we relocated to Bangalore and later on I got interested in Law studies so I opted for a 3-years LLB course at Christ University. I spent 6-years for BA and LLB courses. So according to my experience it is better to pursue integrated LLB courses with BBA / BA or BCom, etc.

As of my personal experience, SLCU Christ University also has only the best eligible candidates because admissions are offered through entrance based only which allow only limited and most eligible students to get the admission.
SLCU Christ University also offers lucrative decent placements with high ROI (Return of Investment).
The average placement package offered at SLCU Christ University ranges between INR 6 - 12 LPA. Bosch Limited, SBI Life Insurance, Karvy Group, etc. are some top recruiters in SLCU Christ University placements.
