Welcome Back to Everyone! Today I’m going to talk about a very important update that enhances our health and technology. In this post, I will explain in detail the changes in Physiotherapy for 2025 and the NCAHP ACT (NCAHP ACT (National Commission for Allied and Health Professions Act).
This update is very useful for all physiotherapy, physiotherapy students and researchers. A traffic on the NCAHP ACT was released in 2024 last year, but now the Indian government has officially announced it on March 23, 2025. These new regulations have been implemented by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.
Does the doctor prefix use the front name after the physiotherapy completion? after NCAHP ACT :
This is the first question that all physiotherapists are generally asked. “After completing physiotherapy, can we use the pre -name as a doctor?” The question. What I want to say now is that according to the rules of this new NCAHP Act 2021, you can use the title of “Doctor” without fearing fear.
But what is important to note is that the “doctor” in the forefront of the “doctor” should clearly mention that you are physiotherapist. For example, it is important to refer to your name “Dr. [Your Name], Physiotherapy.” This will ensure your professional identity and avoid confusion.
Is NEET Exam Mandatory for Physiotherapy?
This is another important question. “Is NEET choice mandatory for physiotherapy?” The question is widely asked among many students. Now the Government of India has made the NEET exam mandatory for physiotherapy courses through the NCAHP Act 2021.
This means that students who wish to enroll for physiotherapy should pass the NEET exam. Thus, only those who have passed the unity of medical education will be admitted to this field -based courses.
This new rule is an important change for students who want to learn physiotherapy. So it is important to write the NEET exam very well.
Duration of Physiotherapy Study and Internship Period:
According to the old rules, the duration of physiotherapy was 4 years and 6 months of internship. But according to the new NCAHP Act 2021 rules, this time has been changed.
New Duration: 4 Years of Study 1 Year Internship = 5 Years
IMPORTANT: STIPANT ON THE 1 Year Internship period.
This means that you will get a salary when you work during the Internship period. This will be a great encouragement for students and reduces economic difficulties when gaining professional experience.
One Nation One Syllabus is the practice:
Another important aspect of this new law is the principle of “One Nation One Syllabus”. All the physiotherapy colleges in India must follow the same Syllabus and curriculum.
Thus, students will get the same quality education in any state. This will increase the quality of education and the standards of the physiotherapy department will be the same.
The importance of these new terms and the future path:
This NCAHP Act 2021 and 2025 will create a new strategy for the Physiotherapy Department. This will provide the following benefits to students and professional experts:
The right to know: a clear professional sign when using the “Doctor”.
Temporary and Permanent Job Opportunities: The opportunity to get stipend during the internship period.
The same quality of education: Quality education throughout India is available through only Syllabus.
Unity in the field of medical field: NEET exams are the same quality opportunities for all health sector students.
These regulations will further strengthen the physiotherapy sector and ensure the future of the students. Therefore, students and professional experts interested in physiotherapy should take care of these changes and plan their educational and employment opportunities.
Answer your questions regularly:
Questions relating to these new terms and physiotherapy always arise. Here I provide clear answers to three important questions
Can the doctor use the front name? Yes, but you need to clearly mention your professional identity.
Is NEET choice mandatory? Yes, NEET exam is mandatory for physiotherapy.
How much is the study period? 4 years of study 1 year International = 5 years.
