The bachelor's degree should be obtained from an institution recognized by the respective governing bodies in the field of physiotherapy education.

Clinical Experience: Some institutions may prefer candidates with prior clinical experience in physiotherapy. Although not always mandatory, having practical experience can be advantageous during the selection process and throughout the MPT program.

Entrance Examinations: Many universities and colleges conduct entrance examinations to assess the aptitude and knowledge of candidates seeking admission to the MPT program. These entrance exams may include subject-specific tests, general aptitude tests, and interviews as part of the selection process.

Language Proficiency: Proficiency in the language of instruction (usually English) is essential for admission to MPT programs. International candidates may also be required to demonstrate proficiency through standardized language proficiency tests such as TOEFL or IELTS.

Tuition Fees: Tuition fees constitute a significant portion of the overall expenses associated with pursuing an MPT program. These fees cover the cost of academic instruction, laboratory facilities, library access, and other academic resources. The tuition fees may vary between public and private institutions, with private institutions generally charging higher fees.

Registration and Examination Fees: Candidates are required to pay registration fees at the time of admission, which cover administrative expenses associated with enrollment in the program. Additionally, examination fees may be charged for each semester or academic year to cover the cost of conducting examinations and evaluating student performance.

Institutions may levy additional fees to cover the expenses related to laboratory equipment, consumables, and specialized training facilities.
