Sancheti Healthcare Academy (SHA), Pune is part of the Sancheti Group of Hospitals — a name synonymous with orthopaedic care in India, founded by Padma Vibhushan Dr. K. H. Sancheti. Established in 1997, SHA was created as a dedicated centre for teaching healthcare management, hospital management and physiotherapy, and today runs several institutes under one umbrella: Sancheti Institute For Orthopedics And Rehabilitation College Of Physiotherapy (SICOP) offering B.P.T and M.P.T; Sancheti Institute of Nursing Education offering General Nursing & Midwifery (GNM) and B.Sc Nursing; a BBA in Hospital & Healthcare Management; a PG Diploma in Hospital Management (Advanced Course in Hospital Management — ACHM); a Master of Arts in Expressive Movement Therapy (Dance Movement Therapy) under its Expressive Arts Therapy vertical; and short Fellowship Programs in Pediatric Neuro Rehabilitation, Orthopedic Physiotherapy, Hand Physiotherapy and Neurological Physiotherapy. The academy is housed at 11/12 Thube Park, Shivajinagar, Pune — in the heart of the city and directly linked to Sancheti Hospital, giving students hands-on clinical exposure inside a functioning multi-specialty orthopaedic hospital from day one. The academy building is fully air-conditioned with audio-visual-equipped classrooms and a library stocked with hospital-administration and physiotherapy texts, journals, and online resources, open for extended hours. A distinguishing feature of SHA is its paid 'earn-while-you-learn' internship model, where BBA/PGDHM students intern in live hospital departments (housekeeping, HR, OPD, front office/appointment desk) at Sancheti Hospital while receiving a stipend. Fee structure (as per CollegeDunia, last verified 26-Jul-2026, sourced from official channels): B.P.T (4 years) — total fee approx. Rs. 7.39 Lakhs; M.P.T (2 years) — total fee approx. Rs. 4.35 Lakhs; GNM (3 years 6 months) — total fee approx. Rs. 2 Lakhs (increased from Rs. 1.65 Lakhs in 2023); BBA in Hospital & Healthcare Management (3 years) — total fee approx. Rs. 2.25 Lakhs; MA (Expressive Movement/Dance Movement Therapy, 2 years) — total fee approx. Rs. 1.7 Lakhs; PG Diploma in Hospital Management/ACHM (1 year, part-time) — total fee approx. Rs. 45,000. NEET score is required for B.P.T admission; other programmes admit via merit/institutional entrance and interview. SHA does not currently feature in NIRF or NAAC rankings (it is a specialised private academy rather than a UGC-recognized university), but it derives strong brand equity from the Sancheti Hospital ecosystem — a nationally respected orthopaedic and rehabilitation centre — which gives physiotherapy and hospital-management students direct access to real clinical and administrative environments uncommon at most standalone colleges.
