Hello,

In Bihar:

There are around 7 to 13 colleges that offer BPT (Bachelor of Physiotherapy) courses in Bihar. Most of these colleges take admission based on 12th marks or state-level entrance exams . Very few colleges, if any, accept NEET scores for BPT in Bihar.

In All India:

Across India, there are around 500 to 520 colleges offering BPT courses. But only about 9 colleges in the whole country accept NEET scores for BPT admission. Some of them include D.Y. Patil , Lokmanya Tilak Medical College , and Goa Medical College .

So, even though NEET covers BPT, most BPT colleges do not use NEET scores. They either take direct admission based on 12th marks or conduct their own entrance tests.

Hope it helps !
