Hello Anjali,

Successful graduates of the course find gainful employment opportunities in both private and government sectors, besides having the option of pursuing private practice.

Some of the popular professional avenues open to such graduates are mentioned below.

• Physiotherapist
• Lecturer
• Researcher
• Osteopath
• Consultant

Physiotherapy is a science that helps improve movement dysfunction, and promote functions of the human body and optimal health. This involves assessment, diagnosis and treatment of disease and disability through physical means.

There are three ways to enter the field. A diploma (DPT), a degree (BSc) or a professional course (BPT of four years with a 6-month internship).

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.

Though Govt. rules still do not discriminate between diploma and degree in realty a degree finds much more acceptance. Though a 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.
