Internship & Field Exposure

From Year 1, students are posted at our OPD and the teaching hospital for real clinical exposure. The programme concludes with a 6-month compulsory regulatory internship.

Clinical posting begins from the very first year of the BPT programme. Students are evaluated on physiotherapy techniques and equipment application under senior faculty supervision in the outpatient department that functions daily.

The 6-month compulsory internship at the end of the programme provides rotational experience across all major specialities — giving graduates the confidence and clinical competency to work independently from day one of their career.
