The completed Dissertation should be submitted three (3) months prior to the final University examination.
14. PG Guide*
A PG guide must have at-least 5 years of full time teaching and clinical experience in the core subject
area after post-graduation.
Not withstanding the above clause in an case of acute shortage of qualified postgraduate guides, A PG
teacher with 3 years experience after Masters can be considered. This clause is subject to review by
2008.
For other specific qualifications of teachers please refer to the recommendations on the qualifications of
Teachers prescribed by the IAP.
15. Examiners* :
A PG guide as defined above is eligible to be appointed as an examiner.
There shall be at least two examiners in each clinical examination out of which, at-least one shall be an
eligible external examiner. The external examiners who fulfil the conditions should ordinarily be invited
from another recognised University, preferably.
*Note : These above qualifications are applicable to all future recruitments. In the case of teachers who
are already recognised as PG guides/examiners status quo will be maintained.
16. Course Content :
It is recommended that the course subjects be outlined under two major headings – core subjects or
subjects mandatory for all students and electives or subjects of specialities.
Under core subject’s programmes should offer theoretical and practical (where applicable) training in
the following subjects:
1. Biomechanics
2. Research and Bio-statistics
3. Educational Methodology
4. Ergonomics and Work Physiology
5. Physical and/or Functional Measurement & Diagnosis
6. Advanced Therapeutics
Under Elective subject’s programmes should offer theoretical, practical and clinical training in the
following areas :
E1 Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
E2 Neurological Physiotherapy
E3 Cardiovascular & pulmonary Physiotherapy
E4 Paediatric Physiotherapy
E5 Community Physiotherapy.
E6 Sports Physiotherapy
The two-year course should have a minimum of 3200 teaching hours, inclusive of didactic, clinical,
dissertation and lab work. These hours should be equally divided between year one and two – i.e., 1600
hours each.
