Hi there,

The courses you've mentioned come under paramedical courses. Physiotherapist and MEDICAL LAB TECHNOLOGY are literally two different branches and courses preferred mostly by PCB students after their class 12th.

For choosing the best course let's look into some differences and benefits

For Medical Lab Technology- The course falls under paramedical with a duration of 2-4 years has a great market value for future perspectives. The areas of job and roles offered are in Government/ private hospitals, clinics and Laboratories. The salary is average as compared to a physiotherapist. The initial salary ranges from  1 LPA to 3 LPA. However, his course also provides good opportunities.

For Physiotherapists- Indeed the best and popular courses nowadays. It has gain popularity in recent times. As the need for a physiotherapist increases the employment level also increases suddenly. The duration of this course is around 3-4.5 year's on average. It has decent market value and job scopes for an individual to pursue the course perfectly. The initial salary starts from 1 LPA to 4.5 LPA on average. So, it is better the opportunities are more in jobs.

So, I would suggest you go with PHYSIOTHERAPY course.

To be a Physiotherapist you have to pursue the course BPT. For BPT the eligibility criteria is:

• Should have passed 10+2 with a minimum of 50 percent marks from a recognized institute.

• Should have completed 10+2 having PCB as compulsory subjects.

• Candidates should have passed in English.

• Candidates should have completed the age of 17 years at the time of admission.

As you have less marks in 10+2 then you are ineligible for the course in most of the colleges. But there might be some college which may give you admission but the possibility is very less.

Hello applicant,

*If you are interested in medicine and research medicines you should choose B. pharma and if you interested in physiotherapy then choose this. See choosing a course is totally depends on your interest. Both the fields are totally different.

*B. Pharma graduate deals with Medicines and Research on medicines whereas a Physiotherapist helps patients with Muscular dysfunctioning. As such looking at both the professions both have immense scope in the future.

*Since Medicine is a daily requirement and people all around face some or the other muscular issue right from fracture to back pain etc, so a visit to a Physio is must. Both have the advantage of beginning on their own. Only a Pharmacists after Graduation, needs to obtain their Pharmacy Licence and can begin their own medical store.

Hope the answer is helpful.

According to Indian Medical Association , Physiotherapists can use Dr. prefix which is instructed by supreme court.

It is opined that the physiotherapists are not allowed to portray themselves as registered medical practitioners by prefixing the word “Dr” with their name. If any physiotherapists prefixes the word “Dr” with his name, then he shall be treated as quack as mentioned by the Hon’ble Supreme Court and all laws as applicable on any quack shall be also applicable on said physiotherapists who is prefixing “Dr.” with the name and who is portraying as the medical practitioner / medical consultant.
