NIEPMD - THE JOURNEY I MADE

In NIEPMD, as we deal with multiple disabilities , here we deal with cerebral palsy , stroke cases,. As we study in books , in real life its different. One patient is equal to 50 books.

To help and serve those people who cant avail the expensive services > The course taught us the approach how to deal with patient starting from introduction,how to start conversation with them, Taking assessment correctly, diagnosing and concluding the problem or disability, Making aware to them about the problem and how to manage or treat the patient. Even we do follow ups > New ways we also like Shock wave therapy, Virtual Reality based therapy, Hydro therapy, and new methods. >Teaching methods can be improved by more innovative ideas like practical 3d diagrams and models > Here 2 internals exam are held followed by mock viva and practical to test and check us before the real one and one university paper annually (August sessions are regular and For supplementary paper it is held on February)

For getting in this college we have to give CET held by nild at that time. There were only three colleges offering the courses (Bachelor of Physiotherapy, Bachelor of Occupational Therapy, Bachelor of Prosthetics and Orthotics) that time NILD in Kolkata, SVNIRTAR in Cuttack, NIEPMD in Chennai. Now there are five institute offering courses. My common rank was 366 in General Category at that time. I was called for counselling. Counselling letter was recieved by me by speed post. My counselling day was on third day, I was interested in SVNIRTAR as it is the oldest and famous insititute. My first preference was Bachelor of Physiotherapy in SVNIRTAR. But my hopes got broken when i saw that all seat have been filled for the general category in both NILD , SVNIRTAR and 2 seats were remaining in NIEPMD. I had not imagined that.Even i left hope that I will get the admission. But Miracle or something else I got the seat and as it is national institute everyone was happy > Comparing NIEPMD, other institutes were not that good. NILD infrastructure is very old just like a govt hospital and too situtated inside a road, Plus hostel were not provided immediately. >SVNIRTAR was very far from the main city and same govt. hospital feels >We have to be 12th pass with 50% aggregate in (Physics, Chemistry and Biology )Subject > Date of birth should be more than 17 and less than 27 at that time >Mostly students prefer BPT rather BOT
