No, NEET is not required for BPT admission in most Chennai colleges. Most private BPT colleges in Chennai, including SRIHER, and Saveetha, admit students based on Class 12 academic merit. Applications are submitted directly to the college's official website.

Currently, NEET is not required for most physiotherapy admissions. Most colleges admit students based on Class 12 marks. However, from 2026 onwards, NEET is expected to become mandatory as per the NCAHP notification. Students applying from 2026 onwards should keep NEET preparation as a priority.
