NDMVPS's College of Physiotherapy is affiliated with Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, so the syllabus is similar to other MUHS colleges. Compared to institutions like Terna Physiotherapy College, infrastructure and campus size may vary. However, academic standards remain similar because all follow MUHS guidelines. Students should compare fees and clinical exposure before deciding.

No one course is better than other. Both are important in a patient's life.

At the end, it should be a candidate's decision made with keeping career goals and liking in their minds.

Hope this helped your query! All the best!
