Dr. DY Patil Dnyan Prasad University

Hi.

• JEE Main: This is a national-level exam, and DPGU accepts a valid score from it.
• PERA CET: This is a university-specific or private engineering colleges' common entrance test, which is also accepted by DPGU.
• MHT-CET: The university also considers scores from the Maharashtra Common Entrance Test, which is the state-level examination for engineering admissions in Maharashtra. 

• Mandatory Scores: You must have a non-zero positive score in one of the accepted entrance examinations to be considered for admission.
• Minimum Percentile: DPGU requires at least a 45 percentile in the PERA CET or JEE Main exam for B.Tech admissions.
• Merit-Based Selection: Admission is ultimately based on merit, considering both your 10+2 academic performance (minimum 45% marks with Physics and Mathematics as core subjects) and your entrance exam score.
• Application Process: The university's application process is typically online, where you must register and submit your entrance exam details.

Hi.

• Educational Qualification: The candidate must have passed a 3-year full-time Diploma in Engineering or Technology from an AICTE-approved and recognised institution.
• Minimum Marks: The candidate should have obtained at least 45% aggregate marks in the Diploma examination (40% in the case of candidates belonging to reserved categories like SC/ST).
• Relevant Branch: The Diploma should generally be in a relevant or allied branch of engineering to the B.Tech specialisation being applied for (e.g., a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering for B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering).
• B.Sc. Option: Alternatively, candidates with a B.Sc. degree with at least 45% marks (40% for reserved category) from a recognised university, and who passed 12th standard with Mathematics as a subject, are also eligible for lateral entry. 

• The admission process for the lateral entry scheme often involves merit-based selection based on the Diploma marks or the results of a state-level entrance exam (like the LEET, depending on the state's and university's specific requirements).
• The programme is structured as a 3-year course, as the first year's foundational content is covered during the Diploma studies. 

Hi.

• International Alliances: DPGU has established over 50 international collaborations. These collaborations are stated to open the "door to the world" and prepare students for the global environment, but the exact mechanisms (e.g., semester exchange, dual degrees, short-term visits) are not detailed for the SPR department specifically.
• General Exposure: The university promotes cross-cultural learning and research relevance through international interactions.
• Ad-hoc Opportunities: Individual faculty or students have received grants to attend international conferences (e.g., ISPOR Europe 2025 in Glasgow). This suggests opportunities may arise on a case-by-case basis through faculty connections or specific student initiatives.
• Internship Flexibility: In some physiotherapy programs worldwide, students have the possibility to undertake a part of their mandatory internship at an institution abroad if they desire. A proactive student at DPGU's SPR might be able to arrange a similar opportunity with support from the university, though a formal programme isn't confirmed. 

• It is best to directly contact the International Relations Office or the Dean of the School of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation (SPR) at DPGU. They can provide details on any formal exchange programs, short-term study tours, or supported pathways for international experience.
