Hello there.

Bachelors in Physiotherapy has a course duration of 4 years 6 months with a compulsory internship of another 6 months making it a total of 5 years. 

More than 300 colleges offer the BPT course in India and some run admissions on basis of merit in Class XII baords examination whereas for others you will have to write the particular entrance test. Hence, NEET is not required for pursuing BPT in India.

One has to be atleast of 17 years of age with Science in +2 with Biology as a compulsory subject and at least 50% marks in each subject. 

For more information, make sure to read the article linked below which mentions the name of colleges offering BPT, the scope of the subject and salary related to it.

Hello,Ravisha 

NEET is not required for BPT,The universities or colleges take separate exams this course,but some state like maharashtra may consider the neet marks for admission in this course,But the basic eligibilty criteria to get admission in BPT is to score 50% and above in 10+2 with physics,chemistry,biology and english compulsory.

So for BPT admission you require to clear 10+2 and an entrance test if required varies from university to university.

Hope your query is answered.
