There are quite a few Paramedical Courses, Disha. For example, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Rehabilitation Therapy, Nursing, Medical Lab Technology, Pharmacy, Audiology and Speech Therap, Radiation Therapy, Nuclear Medicine, Operation Theatre Technology, etc. Infact, Para Medical courses can be categorised as Degree courses, Diploma courses and Certificate courses. Now any Bachelor's course falls under Degree courses and any course that is 2 years falls under Diploma course and then a certificate course is ideally 6 months to 1 year. The admission to all these courses is handled by the respective University to which these course conducting Colleges are affiliated to. For example, each Physiotherapy college in a State is affiliated to a Health University of the State. And this University conducts admissions to BPT across the State.For example, for Karnataka, RGUHS is the Health University that conducts admission to BPT in whole of Karnataka. The authoritative body changes from State to State. Now it is the same with other courses. Courses like Medical Lab Technlogy, Nuclear Medicine, Operation Theatre Technology are also considered under Allied Health Sciences. The admissions to these Courses is done at the College level based on either merit scored in the qualifying examination or College/University level entrance examination. So the best thing is to to check the admission process of the course that you want to join in your desired College.
