SCPM College of Nursing and Paramedical Science Gonda Diploma: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Admission to paramedical diploma programmes affiliated to RMLAU in Uttar Pradesh is primarily through the UP Combined Paramedical Entrance Test (UP-CPET) or the UP Combined Nursing Entrance Test (UP-CNET) for nursing-side diplomas. The exam is conducted by the state authority, and candidates are counselled based on their rank and 10+2 marks. SCPM Gonda follows the same state counselling process, and students must apply for the state exam separately from applying to the college.

Ans. Yes, in most allied health and paramedical fields, diploma holders can apply for lateral entry into BSc programmes at institutions that offer such pathways. A Diploma in Physiotherapy holder may apply to BPT (Bachelor of Physiotherapy) lateral entry at colleges that recognise prior paramedical training. Similarly, diploma holders in cardiology or emergency care can pursue BSc Allied Health Sciences programmes. The eligibility varies by institution and state regulations, so candidates should verify before applying to degree programmes.

Ans. D.E.T.C.T. graduates are trained to assist in emergency departments, operate basic life support equipment, perform patient triage support, and manage pre-hospital care logistics. Career opportunities include district hospitals, private hospitals with active casualty units, ambulance services, and government emergency response programmes like 108. In eastern Uttar Pradesh, where qualified emergency technicians are scarce at government hospitals, D.E.T.C.T. diploma holders often find placements quickly at district-level facilities.

Ans. Yes, SCPM College of Nursing and Paramedical Science Gonda provides hostel facilities for outstation students. Hostel fees are charged separately from the programme fee and are around INR 78,000 per year, covering accommodation and basic facilities. Students from districts outside Gonda should apply for hostel allocation during the admission process, as seats are limited. Female students have separate hostel blocks on or near the campus.

Ans. The Diploma in Physiotherapy (D.P.T.) from SCPM Gonda is a two-year programme that qualifies graduates for basic physiotherapy roles at clinics, hospitals, and rehabilitation centres. The Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) is a four-and-a-half-year degree that opens more advanced roles including independent practice, sports physiotherapy, and teaching positions at physiotherapy colleges. For government hospital physiotherapist recruitment in Uttar Pradesh, BPT is generally the minimum requirement, whereas diploma holders typically work in support and assistant roles under licensed physiotherapists.
