As a proud alumnus of KLES Institute of Physiotherapy, Belgaum (BPT Batch of 2002) and the Best Outgoing Student, I am deeply grateful for the institute's exceptional education.

I owe my professional success to the solid foundation at KLES KIPT & their faculties.

I was graduated with Bachelor in Physiotherapy degree from Bangalore. While I was seeking the best institute for my masters degree where I could utilize the best of my academic and clinical knowledge, KLE institute of physiotherapy, Belgaum turned out to be the best place because of its excellence in neurophysiotherapy field. I feel fortunate to claim the opportunity to be guided by well experienced and renowned professors. My academic experience was both challenging and rewarding. I was taught by passionate professors who genuinely care about helping student succeed. Regarding college, it had vibrant and supporting culture. Beside academic and clinical we had extra curriculum activities like conferences, workshops, sports and music. Well infrastructure and maximum clinical exposure along with all the world leading physiotherapy printed journals are the backbone of KIPT. Nevertheless, as of now being a physiotherapist professional, I do realize the quality education, guidance under the safer hands of experienced professors can groom our future very well. Thank you KIPT family and KLE University for wonderful credit for my future.

After working for 2 years following graduation, I was desperate to continue my further education. After looking into a number of universities and speaking with other seniors, I concluded that KLE would be the best option. Additionally, if I wanted to specialize in OBG physiotherapy, there is no better choice than KLE. Looking back, I believe that was the best choice I could have made for my academic career. My two years as a postgraduate student at KLE have moulded me into a superb professional. In this sense, academics play a unique role.Not to mention, the research experiences I gained at KLE will undoubtedly be useful to me in the future. I will always be appreciative of KLE for helping me become the researcher and clinician I am today.
