MU BPT FAQs
Ques. Is NEET required for BPT admission at Marwadi University?
Ans. No, NEET is not required for BPT (Bachelor of Physiotherapy) admission at Marwadi University. The university accepts GUJCET and CUET-UG scores for BPT admissions. This is a common point of confusion among students, as NEET is mandatory for MBBS, BDS, and some other health science programmes. Students who have not appeared in NEET but have appeared in GUJCET or CUET-UG with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology are eligible to apply for BPT at Marwadi University.
Ques. What is the internship structure for BPT at Marwadi University, and do students get a stipend?
Ans. The BPT programme at Marwadi University includes a mandatory 1-year internship in the 5th year. Students are posted at partner hospitals including Gokul Hospitals, N.M. Virani Wockhardt Hospital, Synergy Superspeciality Hospital, and others in Rajkot. Additionally, from the 2nd to 4th year, students can visit clinics and hospitals for clinical practice, which may lead to job recommendations. Stipend availability during internship depends on the hospital and department, and students should clarify this directly with the university before admission.
Ques. What are the career opportunities after completing BPT from Marwadi University?
Ans. After completing BPT from Marwadi University, graduates can work as physiotherapists in government and private hospitals, nursing homes, sports clinics, fitness centres, rehabilitation centres, community health centres, defence establishments, and special schools. They can also set up independent physiotherapy clinics. For those interested in academics and research, pursuing MPT (Master of Physiotherapy) is a natural progression.
