Physiotherapy

The BDS course is better as it allows you to become a dentist, the equivalent of a doctor. The BPT course is also good at its place; here is a brief comparison between the two:
1. Course curriculum: With a BDS degree, you can become a specialist in dental surgery and treatment. You study electrotherapy, physiology, exercise therapy, and related courses in BPT.
2. Fees: The fees for the BDS are comparably higher than the BPT fee. In government colleges, the cost of a BDS programme can reach Rs. 6 lacs, whereas the cost of a BPT course at private medical schools ranges from Rs. 60,000 to Rs. 6 lacs.
3. Career Pathway: A BDS can be used to become a prosthodontist, dental hygienist, or dentist. With a BPT degree, you can work as a physiotherapist in hospitals, as a sports physiotherapist, as a fitness instructor, etc.
4. Pay: With a BDS degree, you could earn a yearly salary of about Rs. 4.5 lacs. While a BPT degree can earn you an annual salary of approximately Rs. 2.25 Lacs. There are some professions that can pay up to Rs. 4 Lacs, like sports physiotherapy.

Your interest will determine everything. You shouldn't doubt yourself if becoming a doctor in a specific specialty has always been your goal. Otherwise, you could submit an application for admission to a BPT school. It is an expanding profession. Both the private and public sectors have plenty of openings for physiotherapists. Yet again, it is up to you. Let's say your dream job has always been to become an ophthalmologist. So you won't ever be content working as a physiotherapist. BPT is just another step in the right direction, though, if you want a steady career in the medical field. Go for it if you are confident that you will be accepted to MBBS after receiving a drop; otherwise, opt for BPT. Some students decide not to join their allotted BPT college but end up pursuing B.Sc. nursing or another course because they fail to obtain an MBBS the following year. Additionally, taking admission to the Bachelor of Physiotherapy BPT programme at a government college is preferable to dropping out.

Most colleges provide seats in the Master of Physiotherapy in Neurology Course only through the marks secured in the entrance examination. However, very few colleges/universities also offer access to the programme through the marks secured in their graduation. In gist to get admission in the reputed colleges/universities, it is must qualify in the entrance exam. Some entrance examinations are written below: (a) NEET PG It is a national level entrance exam conducted to provide admission to PG courses in the medical field. Based on the scores in this entrance exam, the colleges offer admission seats to the MPT course. (b) IPU CET IPU CET is an entrance exam conducted at the university level for admission to all PG and UG courses of the university. Students can get admission to the course either through the marks obtained in BPT (graduation) or qualifying in the entrance exams. But, before all that, aspirants would have to fulfil basic eligibility criteria set by the institutes. Some of the standards eligibility qualifications include graduation with BPT course and at least 50% aggregate marks. Some institutes also provide admission to the MPT Neurology course based on the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (graduation) marks. For this entry to the course, the students must have secured excellent grades in the graduation. Good luck!
