Hello,

Admission to Bachelor of Occupational Therapy is done through an entrance examination. Marks obtained by the student in state level/all India level examination and 10 ^th and 12 ^th , are taken into consideration by the University.Based on these factors, a merit list is made and the seats are allocated to deserving students according to this list. Many Institutes have their own entrance examination and some colleges also offer admissions solely on the basis of marks obtained in 10+2.

Hope this helps, Good Luck.

• BDS (BACHELOR OF DENTAL SURGERY) : It is the very first option that comes to mind after you talk about MBBS.  But now, the admission to BDS is also through NEET. So a good score which is low for MBBS can help you grab a BDS seat.

• BHMS, BAMS: Homeopathy and Ayurveda also can be considered but again most of the colleges are considering NEET score for the admissiom to these courses too.

• Nursing: It is a forever going profession and is highly paying. Grab a nursing degree from reputed institutions like AIIMS, CMC, AFMC etc and I assure you of a bright future. But before you choose nursing please keep in mind that this profession requires a lot of hard work and dedication and you have to do it with all your heart. And yes,  Nurses get highly paid in foreign too.

• Physiotherapy: Another constantly growing profession in India and Abroad. Physiotherapy also requires you to put in constant effort and hardwork. If you want to pursue a bachelor degree in physiotherapy then you can check you colleges like IPH NEW DELHI, NIRTAR IN ODISHA, JAMIA MILLIA ISLAMIA, JAMIA HAMDARD, AJIPT etc.

• BIOTECHNOLOGY: If you have studied Mathematics in class 12 then you can consider btech in biotechnology otherwise you can go for bsc in biotechnology. If you are interested in research work then this is it.

• Apart from the above mentioned degrees,  you can go for MEDICAL LAB TECHNICIAN, BSC RADIOLOGY, BSC OPTHALMOGY, PHARMACY, BACHELOR OF OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY, BACHELOR OF PROSTHETICS AND ORTHOTICS etc.

• Feel free to ask any further query.
