AU MPT FAQs
Ques. What is the scope of MPT Neurology compared to other MPT specialisations?
Ans. MPT Neurology is one of the most in-demand physiotherapy specialisations due to the rising incidence of neurological conditions like stroke, Parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries in India. Neurological physiotherapists are needed in neurology departments of hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and specialised neurological clinics. Compared to MPT Orthopaedics (which focuses on musculoskeletal conditions), MPT Neurology deals with more complex, long-term rehabilitation cases. Both specialisations have strong career prospects, but MPT Neurology is particularly valued in tertiary care hospitals and rehabilitation centres.
Ques. What is the total fee for MPT Neurology at Apex University?
Ans. The total tuition fee for the 2-year MPT Neurology programme is Rs. 1,80,000 (Rs. 90,000 per year or Rs. 45,000 per semester). The fee is payable in two instalments per year. Additional charges include the application fee (Rs. 1,000), enrollment fee, and examination fee, which are payable separately. Hostel charges (Rs. 15,000 per semester for non-AC rooms, excluding food) are optional and over and above the tuition fee.
Ques. Is GATE required for MPT admission at Apex University?
Ans. No, GATE is not required for MPT admission at Apex University. The university accepts AUCET (Apex University Common Entrance Test) and CUET PG scores for MPT admission. This makes MPT at Apex University accessible to BPT graduates who have not appeared for GATE or any other national-level entrance exam. The admission is primarily merit-based on BPT performance and AUCET/CUET PG scores.
Ques. What career opportunities are available after MPT Neurology?
Ans. After completing MPT Neurology, graduates can work as Senior Physiotherapists or Neurological Rehabilitation Specialists in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and neurological clinics. They can also work in paediatric neurology centres, sports medicine facilities (for neurological sports injuries), and community rehabilitation programmes. Academic career options include working as physiotherapy faculty in colleges and universities. Graduates can also pursue Ph.D. in Physiotherapy for research and academic careers. International opportunities exist in countries like the UK, USA, Canada, and Gulf nations, where neurological physiotherapists are in high demand.
Ques. What neurological conditions are covered in the MPT Neurology curriculum?
Ans. The MPT Neurology curriculum at Apex University covers a wide range of neurological conditions including stroke (cerebrovascular accident), Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, Guillain-Barre syndrome, cerebral palsy, peripheral neuropathies, and vestibular disorders. Students learn advanced assessment techniques and evidence-based treatment approaches including Bobath Concept, PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation), constraint-induced movement therapy, virtual reality rehabilitation, and gait retraining. The programme also covers neuroplasticity principles and their application in rehabilitation.
Ques. Can I pursue MPT Neurology directly after BPT without work experience?
Ans. Yes, you can pursue MPT Neurology directly after completing BPT without any mandatory work experience requirement. The eligibility criterion is simply a BPT degree with a minimum of 50% marks from a recognised university. However, having some clinical experience in neurological physiotherapy settings before joining MPT can be beneficial as it helps you better understand and apply the advanced concepts taught in the programme. Many students choose to work for 1-2 years after BPT before pursuing MPT to gain practical experience and clarity about their specialisation choice.
