No, BOT course admission requires a Science background, specifically in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) in 12th grade. This is because the BOT course involves medical and therapeutic sciences, which demand a fundamental understanding of human anatomy and physiology.
However, if you are from an Arts or Commerce background and still want to pursue a career in Occupational Therapy, you can explore Diploma courses or bridge programs in related fields.
