SGTU MPT Cardiopulmonary FAQs
Ques. Is there any entrance exam required for MPT Cardiopulmonary Sciences admission at SGT University?
Ans. No, SGT University does not require any external national or state-level entrance exam for MPT admission. The selection is based on merit in the qualifying BPT degree (minimum 55% aggregate) and a Personal Interview (PI) conducted by the university. The PI can be attended online via Zoom or in-person at the campus. This makes the admission process relatively straightforward for eligible BPT graduates compared to institutions that mandate entrance exams.
Ques. What is the actual total fee for the MPT Cardiopulmonary programme, and are there any hidden charges?
Ans. The tuition fee is Rs. 1,50,000 per annum, totalling Rs. 3,00,000 for the 2-year programme. Additionally, a one-time non-refundable application/registration fee of Rs. 1,500 is charged at the time of applying. Hostel accommodation is optional and costs between Rs. 97,000 and Rs. 1,54,000 per annum depending on room type (AC/non-AC, single/shared). There are no other major hidden charges, but students should confirm the complete fee breakup at the time of admission as the university may charge examination fees or other minor charges separately.
Ques. What is the scope of MPT Cardiopulmonary Sciences in India, and is it a good specialisation to choose?
Ans. Cardiopulmonary physiotherapy is one of the most in-demand specialisations given the rising burden of cardiac and respiratory diseases in India. MPT Cardiopulmonary graduates can work in cardiac rehabilitation units, ICUs, pulmonary rehabilitation centres, hospitals, and sports medicine facilities. With the post-COVID surge in respiratory conditions, demand for cardiopulmonary physiotherapists has increased significantly. Graduates from SGT University have been placed at hospitals like Medanta, Max Healthcare, Manipal Hospitals, and BLK Hospital, among others.
Ques. Does SGT University provide clinical training as part of the MPT programme, and where is it conducted?
Ans. Yes, clinical training is an integral part of the MPT Cardiopulmonary programme at SGT University. Students receive hands-on training at SGT Hospital, a 1000+ bed multi-specialty teaching hospital located on the university campus in Gurgaon. The hospital provides exposure to a large volume of cardiac and pulmonary patients, including post-operative cardiac cases, COPD patients, and ICU patients requiring respiratory physiotherapy. This on-campus hospital setup is a significant advantage for MPT students compared to institutions that rely on affiliated hospitals located off-campus.
Ques. Can I get a scholarship for MPT Cardiopulmonary at SGT University if I scored above 80% in my BPT?
Ans. Yes. If you scored 80% to 89.99% in your BPT degree, you are eligible for a 50% tuition fee waiver under the PG Merit-Based Scholarship, distributed as 25% in Year 1 and 25% in Year 2. If you scored 90% or above, you are eligible for a 100% tuition fee waiver (50% in Year 1 and 50% in Year 2). These scholarships are applicable to non-medical PG programmes including MPT. Seats under the scholarship are limited and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so early application is recommended.
Ques. What is the NCAHP registration requirement for MPT admission, and how do I get it?
Ans. NCHAP (National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions) registration is mandatory for all MPT students at SGT University as per regulatory norms. To register, you need to visit the official NCAHP portal (ncahp.gov.in), create an account, and submit your BPT degree details along with the required documents. Registration is typically done after completing your BPT degree. If you are a fresh BPT graduate, you should initiate the NCAHP registration process before applying for MPT admission, as the certificate is required at the time of document verification. The registration process is online and usually takes a few weeks to complete.
