Dr. M.V. Shetty College of Physiotherapy Mangalore B.P.T : Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. NEET is not required for BPT admission in Karnataka for the 2026 cycle. The NCAHP directive making NEET mandatory for physiotherapy was deferred to 2027 to 28, so the current cycle proceeds without it. Admission to the 15 government quota seats at Dr. M.V. Shetty College proceeds through KCET scores and KEA online counselling. Management quota seats are filled through merit-based direct admission by the institution. Candidates may apply to the college directly for management quota regardless of KCET rank.

Ans. The annual tuition fee for BPT is INR 45,250, totalling INR 1,81,000 for the 4-year academic component. The mandatory 6-month internship may attract additional charges from the institution. Students in the management quota should confirm the applicable fee with the college admissions office as rates may differ from the government quota fee.

Ans. Dr. M.V. Shetty College of Physiotherapy offers 75 BPT seats per academic year. Of these, 20% (15 seats) are government quota seats filled through KEA counselling for Karnataka domicile students, while the remaining 80% (60 seats) are management quota seats filled through the college direct admission process.

Ans. BPT students receive hands-on clinical training at Dr. M.V. Shetty Hospital and Research Centre, the multi-specialty hospital attached to the campus in Mangalore. The college maintains dedicated therapeutic labs and electrotherapy rooms equipped with professional rehabilitation tools, giving students practical exposure to musculoskeletal and neurological treatment techniques from early semesters. Faculty-supervised clinical postings ensure that graduates are competent and job-ready on completion of the 6-month internship.

Ans. Out-of-state candidates may apply for management quota seats at Dr. M.V. Shetty College of Physiotherapy through direct admission. Government quota seats allotted via KEA counselling are reserved for Karnataka domicile candidates only. Non-Karnataka students do not need a KCET score to apply for management quota. They should contact the college admissions office to check available seats, submit Class 12 marksheets and other required documents, and complete direct admission formalities before the academic session begins.

Ans. The BPT program spans 4.5 years in total: 4 years of academic coursework across 8 semesters followed by a compulsory 6-month internship, as prescribed by RGUHS. The curriculum covers subjects such as anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, musculoskeletal physiotherapy, neurological rehabilitation, and cardiorespiratory physiotherapy. The internship is conducted at Dr. M.V. Shetty Hospital, offering supervised clinical exposure before graduation.
