The verdict
Worth considering
CMC Ludhiana offers a structured BPT with a tiny 30-seat batch and rigorous clinical internship. But the ₹3 LPA average starting salary is modest, admissions depend on a single institutional entrance exam, and there’s no scholarship support. It’s a solid pick if you’re committed to physiotherapy as a long-term career—or plan to build your own practice. Less ideal if you’re chasing a high immediate ROI or want a national-level entrance like NEET.
