About School of Physiotherapy
Your degree here carries the weight of RK University, operating as a constituent college approved by the Gujarat State Council for Physiotherapy (GSCPT). This formal backing means you are legally cleared to practice across Gujarat once you finish your mandatory six-month clinical internship. While the department took shape in 2005, its modern focus is entirely on clinical throughput, driven by the steady stream of local patients visiting the university’s active on-campus OPD.
