About TIHSR Naini

College Code: 2110786 (for Counselling)

Nestled on the banks of the Yamuna in Naini, Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh), TLM Institute of Health Sciences and Research (TIHSR) Naini is one of the most historically significant centres of healthcare learning in North India. It stands on the campus of The Leprosy Mission Hospital Naini, one of the oldest and largest hospitals for leprosy management in India.

TIHSR Naini carries forward a 150-year-old legacy of compassionate service into Physiotherapy education, clinical training, research, and community rehabilitation. Here, students don’t just learn from textbooks; they train on a campus where healing has been a living practice for nearly a century and a half.

About the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) Program

The Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT) programme at TIHSR Naini is affiliated to the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University (ABVMU), Uttar Pradesh and recognised by the Government of Uttar Pradesh, with an intake capacity of 50 seats per academic year — giving students the assurance of a government-recognised, university-affiliated degree, delivered on a campus with genuine clinical depth.

The undergraduate BPT program at TIHSR Naini is designed to shape highly competent, compassionate, and clinically confident Physiotherapists—professionals equipped to serve in hospitals, rehabilitation centres, sports medicine, community health programs, and beyond.

Programme Snapshot

Degree: Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT)

Affiliation: Atal Bihari Vajpayee Medical University (ABVMU), Uttar Pradesh

Recognition: Government of Uttar Pradesh

Annual Intake: 50 Seats

Duration: 5 years, including mandatory clinical internship

Eligibility: 10+2 (Science – PCB) as per university norms

Students engage with a robust curriculum spanning foundational sciences—anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, kinesiology, exercise therapy, and electrotherapy— alongside specialised clinical subjects such as physiotherapy in orthopaedics, neurology, cardiorespiratory conditions, and general medicine & surgical care. Together, these build a deep understanding of how the human body moves, heals, and recovers. Moreover, students go through a structured, university-regulated curriculum, examination, and evaluation system that meets state and national healthcare education standards.

What truly sets the program apart is its emphasis on hands-on, patient-centred learning. From day one,

students move beyond the classroom into labs and live clinical settings, working under the mentorship of experienced faculty and clinicians. They learn to assess real patients, design individualised treatment plans, and apply specialised physiotherapy techniques—a level of practical exposure few institutions can offer at the undergraduate level.

Because TIHSR Naini operates within a functioning multi-speciality hospital campus with a high patient footfall, students graduate not just with a degree, but with genuine clinical confidence.

Why Study at TIHSR Naini?

  • Unlike institutions that rely on simulated or limited clinical exposure, TIHSR Naini is situated inside a multi-speciality community hospital. It means students train on real patients, real cases, and real outcomes, from the very first clinical posting.
  • The hospital’s OPD serves a very high patient volume annually across General Medicine, Surgery, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Rehabilitation and more — offering a breadth of clinical exposure rarely available at the undergraduate level.
  • TLMTI Naini, where TIHSR is located, is a national centre of excellence in leprosy care, disability prevention, and reconstructive surgery (RCS) rehabilitation. This exposure sets TIHSR graduates apart in the wider physiotherapy job market.
  • There is strong integration of hospital, community outreach programmes, and academics, enabling students to participate in health camps, disability screening programmes, and rural/community rehabilitation. Experienced full-time faculty, supported by specialist visiting faculty and guest experts from allied disciplines
  • Low faculty-to-student ratio with individual mentoring, ensuring every student receives close clinical supervision rather than being lost in a large batch. The students are nurtured in a multidisciplinary campus culture, with opportunities to collaborate with visiting specialists, allied health professionals, and researchers, encouraging interdisciplinary learning.
  • Strong placement and internship pathways through TLMTI’s own pan-India network of 15 hospitals and community projects. A safe, disciplined, values-driven campus environment, ideal for students and parents seeking more than just academics—a place that shapes character alongside career.

Life in Naini

Beyond the classroom and clinic, students become part of a close-knit community shaped by decades of service and compassion. The campus’s heritage buildings, open grounds, and proximity to the Sangam city of Prayagraj offer students a rare rhythm of life, one that balances rigorous academics and clinical training with a strong sense of purpose and belonging. Many students describe their years here as formative not just professionally but personally, learning empathy alongside anatomy, and resilience alongside rehabilitation science.

If you are a science student with a passion for helping people move, heal, and reclaim their lives, TIHSR Naini is where that journey can begin.
