No, BPT is not required for BPT admission. The primary eligibility criteria include Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) in 12th grade. Since BPT deals with human anatomy, physiology, and therapeutic techniques, a Biology background is essential. However, basic mathematical concepts like biomechanics and statistics are included in the course, but advanced math is not a prerequisite for admission.

Occupational (Bachelor of Physiotherapy) focuses on physical rehabilitation, using exercises, manual therapy, and electrotherapy to treat musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. It mainly helps patients regain mobility and strength. Occupational Therapy (OT), on the other hand, aims to improve daily living skills, assisting individuals with disabilities in performing everyday tasks.
While BPT emphasizes movement restoration, OT concentrates on adapting environments and tasks to enhance independence.

No, Arts or Commerce students cannot apply for the BPT course. BPT requires candidates to have studied Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) in 12th grade, as it is a healthcare-focused program. Since physiotherapy involves human anatomy, biomechanics, and rehabilitation sciences, a Science background is necessary.
Students from non-science streams must first complete the required subjects through bridge courses or switch to a relevant qualification.
