Welcome to RCP

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. Teaching follows the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP) Competency-Based Curriculum for Physiotherapy (2025), which combines classroom learning, skills laboratories, simulation and early clinical exposure.

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.
