To be recognised as a licensed Clinical Psychologist in India, you must have completed an MPhil in Clinical Psychology from an RCI approved institute, as this is the minimum qualification for RCI registration.  

You can work as a counselor, and/or mental health educator, and/or psychology teacher without an MPhil, but you cannot be a licensed Clinical Psychologist who conducts clinical assessments and therapy.
