BPT Govt Jobs 2026

BPT is a professional degree in physiotherapy that includes a compulsory internship, and government openings for it are rehabilitation posts across hospitals, health missions and sports bodies. Common categories include:

• Physiotherapist and Junior Physiotherapist posts in central and state government hospitals
• Physiotherapist posts in the Employees State Insurance Corporation, railway hospitals and defence medical establishments
• Rehabilitation posts in district hospitals, community health centres and district early intervention centres
• Physiotherapist posts in AIIMS, PGIMER and other central institutes and government medical colleges
• Physiotherapist and rehabilitation posts under national health missions and municipal corporations
• Physiotherapist and trainer posts in the Sports Authority of India, state sports councils and special schools

Most recruitments require registration with the state physiotherapy or paramedical council in addition to the degree and the internship.

All India Institutes of Medical Sciences, the Employees State Insurance Corporation, railway hospitals, defence and paramilitary medical establishments, central government hospitals and the Sports Authority of India recruit physiotherapists at the central level. At the state level, health and family welfare departments, medical services recruitment boards, subordinate services selection boards, government medical colleges, district health societies and municipal corporations advertise physiotherapist posts. Social welfare and disability affairs departments recruit for early intervention centres and special schools, and national health missions recruit rehabilitation staff, commonly on a contractual basis.

Applications are submitted on the official portal named in the notification, while many district and mission level posts are advertised locally with an offline application. Register, enter your degree and registration details, and upload the degree certificate, marksheets, the internship completion certificate, the council registration certificate, photograph, signature, category certificate and any experience certificates. The internship certificate is asked for more often in physiotherapy recruitments than candidates expect, so it is worth having scanned before starting. Where the notification requires the institution to be recognised by the state government or the council, confirm that it appears on the recognised list before paying the fee. Save the application number and fee receipt for the admit card stage.

The usual requirement is a BPT degree from a recognised institution including the compulsory rotating internship, together with registration with the state physiotherapy council or the state paramedical council. The registration framework is in transition - the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Act 2021 provides for a national commission and for State Allied and Healthcare Councils, and physiotherapy is one of the professions covered, but states are constituting these councils in stages, so a notification may name the state physiotherapy council, the paramedical council or the allied and healthcare council, or accept any of them. Senior physiotherapist and teaching posts commonly ask for MPT in the relevant branch along with prescribed experience. Age limits usually run from 18 years to 30 or 35 years depending on the post, with relaxation as stated in the advertisement.

Yes - common after-BPT government job options include Physiotherapist and Junior Physiotherapist posts in central and state hospitals, physiotherapist posts in ESIC, the railways and defence medical establishments, rehabilitation posts in district hospitals and early intervention centres, physiotherapist posts in AIIMS and other central institutes, and contractual rehabilitation posts under national health missions. This page lists the current openings together with the newest notification first, so the post, the recruiting body and the last date can be seen in one place.

This page is refreshed through 2026 as new physiotherapy notifications are released, with the most recent vacancy at the top. Physiotherapist posts are advertised in ones and twos by a very large number of separate hospitals, boards and district societies rather than by one central body, so a combined list saves a great deal of searching. Open the official notification before applying to confirm whether the post accepts BPT alone or asks for a postgraduate qualification, which registration is required, and the closing date.

Physiotherapist posts are commonly placed at Pay Level 6 of the 7th Pay Commission with a starting basic pay of ₹35,400, and posts that prescribe a postgraduate qualification or a longer period of experience at Pay Level 7 with a starting basic pay of ₹44,900, depending on the recruiting organisation and the grade of the post. Senior physiotherapist grades in central institutes sit higher on the matrix, and junior and assistant grades lower. Dearness allowance, house rent allowance and transport allowance are paid over the basic pay. State scales are fixed by each state, and contractual posts under health missions carry a consolidated monthly amount instead of a pay level, so the pay clause of each notification is the correct reference.

Most physiotherapy recruitments use a written or computer based examination covering anatomy, physiology, exercise therapy, electrotherapy and clinical physiotherapy along with general awareness, followed by document verification. Several state recruitments prepare a merit list from the degree marks without holding a separate written paper, and some add a practical assessment or an interview for senior grades. Contractual posts under health missions and district societies are commonly filled by shortlisting and a district level interview. Verification of the degree, the internship certificate and the council registration is part of the final stage in every case.
