JSS College of Physiotherapy

What JSS College of Physiotherapy does

JSS College of Physiotherapy (JSSCPT) is a private, nonprofit educational institution established in 1999 in Mysuru, Karnataka, India, operating under the JSS Mahavidyapeetha network of 320+ institutions serving over 100,000 students. The college delivers a 4.5-year Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) program with 60 annual seats and a 2-year Master of Physiotherapy (MPT) program with 36 seats distributed across seven specialties (Cardiovascular & Pulmonary, Community Health, Musculoskeletal, Movement Science, Neurological, Pediatrics, and Sports Sciences). It is affiliated with Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), holds NAAC B accreditation, and sits on a 17+ acre campus adjacent to JSS Hospital, which serves as the primary clinical training facility along with community outreach sites.

The institution's core technology is its specialized laboratory infrastructure—11 lecture halls and 13 dedicated labs including Biomechanics, Electrotherapy, Exercise Therapy, and domain-specific skills labs—combined with hands-on clinical training integrated into JSS Hospital operations. Teaching faculty hold advanced qualifications (PhDs, MS from TWU USA, PGDR, PGDMLE, CHFP, ATP), and research is structured around a weekly journal club, mandatory thesis work for MPT students, and extramural grants from ICMR, DHR, NCERT, IASP, and RGUHS aggregating over Rs. 1 crore. The college publishes the JSS Journal of Interdisciplinary Research (JSSJIR) as an open-access peer-reviewed platform.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through tuition and program fees. BPT total program cost is Rs. 9,51,300 (annual range Rs. 2,01,050–Rs. 2,67,750); MPT application fee is Rs. 1,000 with similar annual fee structures. Supplementary income comes from external student internship fees (pay-as-you-go) and alumni service charges. The college enrolls approximately 260 students across both programs, maintains a graduating cohort of ~86 students per year, and accepts both domestic and international applicants through a formal admission process managed via demand-draft payments and document verification.
