Rashmi College of Physiotherapy, Kudligi
Physiotherapy is a first-contact, science-based healthcare profession that restores, maintains and improves movement, function and quality of life. At RCP we prepare physiotherapists who can assess, diagnose and treat independently and who work well in multidisciplinary teams.
RCP offers the Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT), affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), Bengaluru (college code PT113), with an annual intake of 40 students.

RCP is run by Sri Siddalingeshwara Education Trust, the same management as our sister institution, the Rashmi Institute of Ayurveda Medical Sciences & Research Center (RIA), Kudligi. Together they bring quality health-science education to students of Vijayanagara and the surrounding districts.
