To pursue BPT one needs to be pass in12th class or equivalent with a minimumaggregate of 50% marks in physics,chemistry and biology (including practical)provided the candidate has passed in eachsubject separately.

There is a Common Entrance Test (CET)for the course in Bachelor ofPhysiotherapy (BPT). Admission is basedmainly on CET scores.

A candidate seeking admission to Bachelorof Physiotherapy should be at least 17years of age.Some of the subjects in which you can pursue Masters in physiotherapy are:

◼Physiotherapy and Education MSc (PGCert PGDip)

◼Sports Medicine MSc.

◼Rehabilitation Studies in Prosthetics (and or Orthotics) PGCert.

◼Exercise Rehabilitation MSc.

◼Manual Therapy MSc.

◼Applied Sport and Exercise Physiology MSc

Hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Hii

Bachelors of Physiotherapy ( BPT ) is an undergraduate course in medical science field which includes assessment , diagnosis and treatment of disease and disability through physical means and helps improve movement dysfunction , and promote functions of the human body and optimal health .
It is 4 and a half year duration course including 6 month internship . This course provides core skills line manual therapy, therapeutic exercise and the application of electro physical modalities .

There are three ways to enter the field . A diploma ( DPT ) , a degree ( BSc ) or a professional course BPT . Over 300 colleges offer a Bachelor in Physiotherapy .
The diploma course increasingly is finding less favour with major hospitals . If you pursue a diploma course ( one year ) , it would just make you eligible to work as a physiotherapist’s assistant while a degree course ( BPT ) finds much more acceptance. Though  BSc course is an improvement many hospitals are  keen on hiring a candidate with a BPT , which includes an internship period of six months in the fourth year of study . So it would be advisable to go for a BPT only and further MPT also.

Eligibility -

  • The candidate needs to qualify class 12th exam with subjects physics, chemistry and biology .
  • The candidate must score minimum 50 % aggregate in qualifying exams
  • The candidate must be 17 years of age .

Admission Process -
The admission is based on merit scores of Common Entrance Test ( CET ) . So the student needs to appear in CET Exam to get admission into BPT course .
There are exams which are also institute based so you must specify which institute are you looking for , so that i can given complete details .
In some institutes in my knowledge , NEET UG scores are also considered for admission .

Further studies -
Masters of physiotherapy or MPT is a two year duration course . One can pursue this course to improve job opportunities as an occupational therapist .

Colleges offering BPT course -

  • Apollo College of Physiotherapy , Hyderabad
