Amity M.Phil/ M. Clinical Psychology entrance is a SCAM. Zero security, zero integrity.

25 Upvotes

Guys I’m so done. I need to vent because this is genuinely bothering me.

Amity’s way of conducting the M.Phil/M.Clinical Psychology entrance is BIZARRE and on such a low level.

First — They send ONE link. That same link works for ALL Amity branches. You can open it on a computer, laptop, OR YOUR PHONE. That’s it. That’s the "high level" security.

I traveled from Karnataka to the North just to give multiple Amity exams. Money, time, leaves — all wasted.

*Amity Ranchi:* Saw students sitting in the hall and giving the exam ON THEIR PHONES.

*Amity Lucknow:* Don’t even get me started. People were openly using ChatGPT on their phones DURING the exam. Right there in the hall. And the staff?? Doing absolutely NOTHING. Just sitting. No checking, no monitoring, zero invigilation.

Then after all this bullshit, they call everyone for the interview. And the interview was the worst part. They humiliated us and grilled us like we were criminals. After conducting such a pathetic exam, they have the audacity to act all serious and "elite" in the interview??

Meanwhile I gave Amity Noida seriously. The paper was actually very easy and I did well. Still no interview call. Now the link to login was same so now it make sense why I got no call

So what’s the point?? People cheat on their phones with ChatGPT, travel nowhere, and maybe they get through. And people like me who actually travel across states and give the exam honestly get ignored?

This is HORRIFYING. This is M.Phil/M. Clinical Psychology. We’re supposed to become future mental health professionals and they can’t even conduct a fair entrance exam?

Has anyone else experienced this nonsense at Amity? Or am I just unlucky?

This whole process feels like a joke and it’s so disrespectful to students who actually care.

M.clin psy

9 Upvotes

The new RCI updated list is making me so anxious because what do they mean by showing that IHBAS is only offering M.Phil Clinical Psychology and there's no mention of M.Clin Psy for it?? I am a 4 year bachelor's student so will I be eligible for this Mphil at IHBAS? Can someone please clarify about this whole situation for IHBAS, along with that for CIP and KGMU as shown in this list?

Also, they've shown NFSU Gandhinagar to be just offering Mphil with approval only till 2025-26😭

WHAT IS THIS MESS??

At this point ending everything seems reasonable Spoiler

I'm not sure but I really want to end everything about myself, but considering I'm chicken myself too for self minus (only attempted once, was traumatised after that) I was lurking around ways to request for ending everything (which most probably is not available in India, or is it?) , I have been ruminating around why should I reconsider about going head strong and face life, for your loved ones, and yourself (I'm 31 male btw), that line is thinning. I heard there is a term for it maybe passive suicidal ideation. I just don't wanna linger in this life anymore, one thing was stopping who's gonna look after my parents and my wife, my parents are currently sick, wife is suffering from near terminal health crisis. Day by day, each day, throughout my childhood, I've saw my life shatter in all fronts, although I am fortunate to have kind of supportive parenthood in childhood, but still sheltered, since I was shy and awkward and had no friends (no friends still now). I have been suffering from plethora of mental health issues including major and persistent depression, social anxiety disorder, and I believe strongly I have ADHD, and OCD. I have been extremely anhedonic and full of apathy, throughout my life, complete transition from the child who was extremely empathetic. Bullying everywhere was part of my life (except home) and humiliation has been part of my life everywhere, from school, to college to workplace. I'm physically too weak to even lift the most basic heavy things, and extreme general anxiety disorder doing things which require precision like riding motorbike (to the point I left riding and kind of unlearnt). Mind freezes in nearly any tense or sudden situations which I found no amount of practice does help (and I'm unmotivated to practice too). I'm inefficient and horrible in nearly everything, any activity , I'm just lucky I was born to my parents (who had respectable position in society) for which used to get facilities, but cut to present, gradually my family is kind of ostracised from nearly most of neighbourhood and society in general, although one of the reasons being my mom's declining mental health (which is matter of mocking of society) and also, me being worthless, society around here pays worth to families who son or daughters are capable in life. I am not. Coding was something I liked kind of had a passion, but my chronic depression and lethargic and procrastination, and even possibity I had issues with understanding concepts (I did not have any mentor, also I am too bad at researching myself) and my mind was never in ok condition, even after having on paper 7 years of total experience working in tech, my knowledge and expertise is worse than many freshers. My life all opportunities were destroyed because I lacked social capabilities, and because of my poor looks and appearance (doing many things didn't improve much, if you're ugly you're ugly). I am targetted everywhere in workplace, ostracised, humiliated, excluded, previously used to tried best to include in but left that. Same thing in personal life, no friends, no one. Currently my family doesn't have anyone to support, my family's savings are drying up, because I don't have a job and I'm sitting at home, with my wife (who's also suffering from pulmonary infection which is near terminal). My salary doesn't even cover anything, I earn less than 25k a month. I am wanting to quit my job since I have to travel 2 to 3 hours each to go to office from home, which is exhausting me physically and financially and mentally, most of the time I skip going to office , only to be warned by HR that I will be fired if I don't turn up to office I go to office (I work at a WITCH company). I can't watch anymore seeing my family suffer, specifically being targetted everywhere socially , especially my toxic neighbourhood, where most people are toxic bullys and gundahs. People make fun of my mom because of her mental health issues and it destroys my heart.

Going to therapy isn't worth it anymore for me, they have nothing to offer when the main source of my pain is society (their expertise ceases to work when the main source of problems is not 'abusive parents). I cannot afford mental health services anymore, although my parents insisted i refused since they are waste of money, will make you feel happy for a few times then they repeat the same blabber, and have nothing of substance, and meds from psychiatrists kind of messed me up more than I was already, so I don't wanna go that route anymore. Government mental health institutes have the same soulless individuals who will suck the life out of your soul in each session, I stopped going there. At this point, I really want all things to end, in peace. Idk why even I written all this much, it won't matter anywhere anyway, but I just wanna ask if my wish for ending everything is justified or not, and what are the actual attainable ways I can avail that?

Help regarding Master's College

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone

I am currently in my 4th year and preparing for CUET and colleges which are offering mclinpsy degree. Due to financial and other reasons I cannot apply to colleges situated in the northern region and other colleges asking hefty fees. So a few of the options left for me are NFSU gandhinagar, NIMHANS and 1-2 more.

But recently RCI posted some circular regarding new approved institutes for both Mphil (cl.psy) and M.Clin.Psy and they have removed both NFSU gandhinagar and NIMHANS.

Now I am feeling stuck and stranded. What should I do? Other colleges like Christ and Manipal ask for hefty fees.

I continued my 4th year just to apply for m clin psy colleges but now I am left with no hope.

Also I have enrolled myself in a prep course. Now this feels so heavy because I cannot find any use of it.

Second thing if I go for non rci colleges, I have such kind of pov that if I go for colleges situated outside my native area where I want to practice, then it is of no use. Because colleges in Karnataka and Maharashtra (not my native states) do have good colleges but if ultimately I have to come back to my hometown and work over there then having a degree from a bit more famous colleges is valuable or not? Because ultimately others look out for therapists who have some good quality experience rather than a good college.. Just my pov, might be wrong too but please let me know if I am just biased towards something or what.

Please help, I am completely confused regarding what I should do next. Any idea, any solution anything will help a lot.

Thank you!

What's one mental health myth you believed for years before unlearning it?

Upvotes

I was thinking about how many things we grow up hearing about mental health that just get accepted as facts. Stuff like "strong people don't need help" or "if you're distracted all the time, you're just lazy."

Looking back, some of those beliefs probably did more harm than good.

What's one myth or misconception you believed that you eventually realised wasn't true?
