Amar Jyoti, in my opinion, is not only an excellent institute but also like a family for its students. The teachers are dedicated to nurture us, so that we become the best professionals in the future ahead. Not only academia, but the co-curricular activities carried out in the Institute help us to develop holistically. Proud to be an AJIPTian.

Our institute has a holistic approach towards the development of a student's personality. It not only transforms us into a physiotherapist but also prepares us to combat the challenges of life. Constant guidance, support and supervision by the teachers has helped me develop new thinking and action in the medical domain.

Our teachers play an indispensable complementary role to class room teaching.

Amar Jyoti true to its name is a path to enlightening practical knowledge, scientific subject oriented wisdom and vast learning opportunities in the field through year round camps and workshops . It provides a platform for honing creative talent with a plus of developing competitive spirit in adjunction with academics and propels us- the staff as well as students- towards a constant yearning to achieve perfection, keeping in alignment with its humane approach in a pretty safe and encouraging environment.
Riti IV year Student.

I can positively say AJIPT is making me a better person. It has helped me develop a positive attitude towards my studies and also discover more about myself with the help of activities like Ripples and Zenith. Personally, being surrounded by such friendly and like - minded teachers and well structured classes allows me to plan out what i need to study while the continuous assessments keep me on my toes.
