Biomedical Engineering admission 2026 take place through national-level/state-level/institute-level engineering exams which is why it is extremely important to start preparing in advance.

Here are syllabus details of some of popular exams accepted by Biomedical Engineering colleges in India -

Exams	Exam Syllabus
JEE Main Syllabus	The JEE Main syllabus revolves around three core subjects from Class 11 and Class 12: Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Each subject will have two sections, sections A and B. Section A will have multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and Section B will contain numerical value questions. In Section B, students have to attempt any five questions out of 10, and there is no negative marking for Section B.
MHT CET Syllabus	MHT CET exam is of 300 marks which consists of Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology of 100 marks each. It gives 20% weightage to the syllabus of Class 11 whereas 80% weightage to Class 12th syllabus. Therefore, its syllabus is slightly different from JEE Main with respect to the weightage of both exams.
KCET Syllabus	The KCET exam will test the students' knowledge of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Biology. Each question in the exam will carry one mark with four options, out of which only one answer will be correct. There will be no negative marking in the exam.
GATE Syllabus	The syllabus for GATE varies across various disciplines and topics such as Verbal Ability and Numerical Ability are the common topics for all papers. Moreover, the syllabus for various specialisations is of graduation-level and candidates ability to solve reasoning and numerical questions are also tested through this examination.
