Hi.
Direct admission meaning admission without any entrance exam or merit process — is not officially offered for BPT, MPT, or other programmes at this college. Candidates are selected based on entrance exams accepted by the institute followed by counselling/selection.
The main accepted exams include AIAHCET for BPT and AIPGPET for MPT (or equivalent exams specified by the Vidyapeeth). You must appear in these exams and secure a qualifying score for admission.
After the entrance test results, seat allotment and admission are based on performance in these exams and the subsequent selection process.
