NIHS has provided me enormous knowledge of physiotherapy and changed my concepts regarding the subject. It has made me realize the need of physiotherapy in today’s fast paced lives.
The clinic is well equipped and provides many practice sessions. Seeing patients improve is very motivating. The library is well stocked.

I consider myself fortunate that I have chosen my career as a physiotherapist. After counseling at JENPRAH I decided to join Nopany Institute of Healthcare Studies as it was the first private physiotherapy college. I along with my parents visited the college and convinced by their infrastructure, I joined as the first batch of this college. Its faculty is excellent providing good guidance to the students in all aspects. Student- faculty relationship is friendly, and enthusiastic. Its library facility has a vast collection of medical and physiotherapy books that help the students enhance their knowledge. Routine internal examinations help students to prepare themselves for the annual university examinations. Seminar, workshops and presentations are frequently organized by the college. The authorities help the students to be interactive, to gain hands- on experience and to prepare them and to practice anywhere in the world.

I was interested to do bachelor in physiotherapy because I wanted to become a healthcare professional. As the profession was relatively new to my family and me, we were confused about the course. During the counseling period, I got a clear idea about the profession and I got the confidence to join this course. The college has an excellent infrastructure for teaching physiotherapy. The teaching faculty is highly qualified and gave us a clear idea about the subjects. This is the reason I always scored above 75% marks in the university examinations. The internship program was also well designed by the college which gave us the opportunity to work in the wards of different specialty hospitals. Today I am working at AMRI Mother and Child Hospital only because of the exposure I received during my internship.

After passing my Class XII I was not sure about which course to opt for. I had given Joint Entrance Examination for Physiotherapy course and after attending the counseling, I took admission at Nopany Institute of Healthcare Studies. This institute is the best institute to study because of its infrastructure. It provides all the opportunities to its students from studies to attending national level quiz to cultural programs. The training and knowledge received at NIHS helped me to get selected at Institute of Cerebral Palsy.

My brother had done a radiography course and he inspired me to study Bachelor of Physiotherapy in 2005. I had visited four colleges and found NIHS had the best infrastructure. I joined the college with lots of expectation and excitement to know how the body functions. My first dissection class in Anatomy Lab was really a great experience. We learnt, we played, we danced, and we even made our teachers dance. During the internship I got selected at BM Birla Heart Research Center and today I am working as a Physiotherapist there.

Internship is a period of maximum learning, where we spend maximum time with patients either treating or assessing them. As I have almost completed 3 months internship it has been a good experience learning all through. I went to various departments from the 1st day of internship. The first few days I were spent in observation. It gave me confidence on how to deal with in-patients which I was not much exposed to during my 5 years of learning. I went to various departments like cardio thoracic, vascular surgery, ICCU, HDU, Surgical wards, medical condition wards. I have seen quite a good number of cardiac patients who have undergone surgery. Rehabilitating them has been the greatest experience. What I have learnt in theory I have applied almost the same. I have also seen quite a good number of Orthopedics patients who have had replacement of hip and knee. In this case, the rehab did not match with books. It is much faster than what I had expected. I have seen many CVA patient and I have noticedchanges that occur from comatose to waking. I am very lucky as I had the chance to treat our Ex Chief Minister JyotiBasu. I am looking forward to my future internship training which would be more exciting. This period would have been better if our seniors had spent time with us discussing about patient condition.

Initially I was afraid of going to a new place in the midst of strangers but when I called up NIHS and one of the faculties spoke to me in my mother tongue Mizo, I realized that at-least I have someone to speak to. Then I came to know about other students from Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim which gave me the confidence to join. I know I am learning in one of the best institutes of Kolkata.

We came to know about NIHS from Edu-Fest at Mizoram where NIHS had a stall. Since we were friends from school so we decided that whatever we do we would do it together. Initially we were confused whether to join the BPT course or nor but when a representative from the institution made us understand about the BPT course and explained the opportunities after passing the course we were quite convinced. Since they had students from Mizoram in previous batches, it will not be a problem for us. We joined NIHS and we feel that the ambience and the faculties here are the best.

I came to know about the course and the Institution from the education fair at Mizoram. The representative of the college made me understand about the course and explained to me the facility NIHS provides for its students. Since Kolkata is a capital city as well as near to Mizoram, I have no regrets that I decided to join the institution.
