*NEET status — read this before applying
NEET is not currently mandatory for BPT admission in Karnataka for the 2026-27 cycle. This is a fast-moving regulatory area: the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP) has discussed making NEET mandatory for BPT from a future academic year, with reports of the timeline being pushed to 2027-28. Always confirm the current requirement directly with KEA or the specific college before finalising your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many BPT colleges are there in Karnataka?
Karnataka has dozens of BPT colleges; this guide covers 12 well-known, verifiable institutions across Bengaluru, Mangaluru, Mysuru and Belagavi — a mix of deemed universities (Manipal, KMC, Nitte, Yenepoya, KLE) and RGUHS-affiliated private colleges (Father Muller, JSS, RajaRajeswari, MS Ramaiah, Acharya, Kanachur).
Is NEET required for BPT admission in Karnataka?
NEET is currently NOT mandatory for BPT admission in Karnataka for the 2026-27 cycle. Selection is based on 12th PCB marks, KEA counselling for government-quota RGUHS-affiliated seats, or the college's own entrance test for deemed universities (e.g. Manipal's MET, KLE's AIET). This is a fast-moving regulatory area since NCAHP has discussed a future NEET requirement — confirm directly with the college or KEA before applying.
What is the difference between deemed-university and RGUHS-affiliated BPT colleges?
Deemed universities (Manipal, KMC Mangalore, Nitte, Yenepoya, KLE) set their own fees and run their own entrance tests, with no government-quota seats — fees are typically higher (Rs 1.3–3 lakh/year). RGUHS-affiliated colleges (Father Muller, JSS, RajaRajeswari, MS Ramaiah, Acharya, Kanachur) offer government-quota seats via KEA counselling at lower fees, plus management-quota seats at market rates.
How much does BPT cost in Karnataka?
Government-quota BPT at RGUHS-affiliated colleges costs roughly Rs 16,000 to 90,000 per year. Management-quota and deemed-university BPT typically costs Rs 1.2 to 3 lakh per year. Exact fees vary significantly by college — see the individual college pages for specifics.
What is the career scope after BPT?
BPT graduates work in hospital and clinic physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy, geriatric and neuro rehabilitation, and paediatric physiotherapy, with growing demand in the UK, Australia, US and Gulf. The natural postgraduate path is MPT (Master of Physiotherapy, 2 years) in a specialisation such as Orthopaedics, Neurology, Sports or Cardiopulmonary.
