Hello there,

Bachelor of Occupational Therapy is a bachelor's programme in the field of medicine. It trains the students to become skilled professional Occupational Therapist, capable of doing the Independant or Supervised practice.

The syllabus for this course is as follows :

First Year:

  • Anatomy
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Physiology
  • Psycology
  • Biochemistry

Second Year:

  • Pharmacology
  • Occupational Therapy-2
  • Biostatistics and Research Methodology
  • Psycology-2
  • Pathology

Third Year:

  • Clinical Orthopedic and Rheumatology
  • Occupational Therapy in Orthopedics
  • Bioengineering
  • Occupational Therapy in NEurology
  • Clinical Neurology
  • Rehabilitation

Fourth Year:

Begin a career in Medical and Allied Sciences. Admissions Open for

Apply to Emversity Allied Health Sciences programs

  • Clinial Psycology and Psychiatry
  • Occupational Therapy in Mental Health
  • General Medicine
  • Genearl Surgery
  • Community Medicine and Sociology
  • Pediatrics and Development Disabilities

So some of the subjects are similar to that of the MBBS, which is for the linking between the two courses and the two individuals working at a same place to understand the the concepts while working.

The entrance exam for the course is conducted by the various universities for their own course while some institutes accept the admission on the merit basis.

For the entrance exam, you can refer to the syllabus of the NEET and also can study NEET papers. Since, there are no question paper available, I would advice you to do this.

Good Luck !!!

Hi,

The subjects in Occupational Therapy is somewhat related to MBBS field. The syllabus includes Psychology, Physiology, Anatomy, Biochemistry, Pharmacology etc. You can refer to the following link for complete course information: https://www.careers360.com/courses/occupational-therapy-course

You have not mentioned the particular institute for which you are appearing for entrance exam. Occupational therapy course comes under paramedical courses. So, generally paramedical courses includes an entrance examination. The entrance exam generally has syllabus from Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Mathematics of class 11 and 12. Many institutes contains questions from GK and English section. The questions are not that of NEET level but not even simple. If you are preparing religiously for NEET, you can go through the exam. Talking about sample paper, please mention the institute , so that we can help you out. There are institutes like JIPMER, PGIMER, GMCH paramedical institutes and each follow different exam pattern.
