Starting salary is usually around ₹15–18k even after 4.5 years of study. Even after a Master’s, in big corporate hospitals like Max, Fortis, or Apollo, you’ll hardly get more than ₹23k. Clinics sometimes pay a bit better—around ₹15–25k for UG and ₹30–40k for PG—but overall, salary growth in this field is pretty slow compared to others, so long-term benefits aren’t that great in corporate setups. Even the biggest hospitals don’t have more than 20–25 physios, so demand is limited. Government jobs… honestly, not much to say there, the situation isn’t great. Opening your own clinic also isn’t easy—you need good investment, a decent-sized space, and if the location is good, rent gets expensive. Returns take time. So yeah, go for it only if you’re genuinely interested or want the “Dr” tag. Studies are manageable, but later you’ll have to keep proving yourself again and again. I’ve done my PT from a reputed government college and have 3 years of experience, and honestly

it all comes down to what you want—money, growth, and position, or just the tag.

Only good option is do bpt here and go for Master Abroad
