Hello,

Following BPT, a physiotherapy student can pursue higher study and specialize in the discipline of physiotherapy. BPT graduates are also eligible for postgraduate degrees in hospital administration, business management, public health management, and various other fields.

A physiotherapist working in a hospital should expect to get paid at least Rs. 5-6 lakhs per year. Remuneration rises with experience, depending on work production and the sort of company in which they work.

With further experience and specialisation, BPT professionals can also pursue roles in research, teaching, and healthcare administration.
