Question

Dharamveer Dheer · Answer

Dear Santosh, There is a lot of scopes no matter what specialisation you choose. Physiotherapists in the private sector are better off according to me. Most students who pass outlook for government jobs which are less in number. Instead, you should aim to be a good entrepreneur; the market is doing much better. You can set up your own practice or centre. Also, there are ample jobs available in private hospitals. Be active and grab opportunities. Be selective while choosing the right college for you. Some good colleges for BPT are: CHRISTIAN MEDICAL COLLEGE - VELLORE MADRAS MEDICAL COLLEGE - CHENNAI LOVELY PROFESSIONAL UNIVERSITY - JALANDHAR INSTITUTE OF POST GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH -, KOLKATA BHAVA INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL Science AND RESEARCH - BHUBANESWAR GUJARAT UNIVERSITY - AHMEDABAD M. S. RAMAIAH MEDICAL COLLEGE, BANGALORE HAMDARD INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES AND RESEARCH -NEW DELHI. Thanks.

It is better to do BDS rather than BPT. If you are interested to serve people then you can work for many private or government hospitals. So try to score more marks to qualify any exam.
