Rashmi College of Physiotherapy is on Sandur Road, Kudligi, in Vijayanagara district. The campus is planned around the way physiotherapy is taught: classrooms where theory and demonstration happen side by side, specialty laboratories for hands-on practice, an on-campus physiotherapy OPD for supervised patient care, and the facilities students need to live and study well.
About the campus
RCP is run by Sri Siddalingeshwara Education Trust, the same management as the Rashmi Institute of Ayurveda Medical Sciences & Research Center (RIA), Kudligi. The college has set up its teaching spaces, laboratories and student facilities in line with the Minimum Standard Requirements for the BPT prescribed by the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP).
Students train hands-on from the first year, moving from the anatomy and physiology laboratories to the exercise therapy gymnasium and electrotherapy laboratory, and on to the specialty laboratories and the OPD as their clinical training grows.
