B.Tech Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering makes it possible for professionals in this field to actually reach the doctor-tier status in the Engineering world. Biomedical Engineering is nothing but picking up one or two fields of Engineering such as Electrical, Mechanical or Computer Science Engineering, and carving out a corner for Biology to apply the practices of those fields to it.

Some of the key advantages of pursuing BTech Biomedical Engineering course are mentioned below:

High Demand and Earning Opportunities: BME graduates are in high demand because of their technical skill set and contribution to human health and patient care landscape through innovation and technological advancements. Recent employment reports showcase the possibility of a growth of 7% by the year 2026 in the job opportunities and vacancies for biomedical engineers in diverse work sectors such as hospital and healthcare management, medical equipment manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, research and development, and academia.

Excellent Growth Potential: In the BTech Biomedical Engineering course, students will get to learn about the existing technologies available in the medical sector and get into the research to develop new products in compliance with medical grades. The course leads to a plethora of career options for graduates that include Biomedical Research and Development Engineer, Biomedical Sales and Marketing Engineer, Product Development Engineers, Biomedical Application Specialist, Clinical Engineer, etc.

Skill Enhancement: In BTech Biomedical Engineering, students are also taught to design medical systems and equipment to be used for improvement in the world of medicine and overall healthcare. Some examples include surgical devices, artificial organs, microimplants, imaging systems, etc. This leads to an overall skill development of an individual who is actively contributing to the betterment of society at large.

Here is the basic list of documents that you should carry with you while going for the BTech BME admission process:

• Class 12th mark sheet with at least 50 to 60% marks in the PCM/PCB/PCMB subjects
• Provisional Mark sheet (if the original is not issued yet)
• Class 10^th mark sheet
• A valid identity proof like Aadhar, PAN, Passport, etc.
• Migration and Character Certificates (may be required)
• Reserved Category Certificate (if applicable)
• Photocopies of all the documents
• Passport-size photos

This is just the basic list of docs asked by most of the BME colleges in India at the time of admission. You should also visit the college website and read their admission guidelines for a clear picture.

Hi, hope you're doing good.

Yes, you can easily get admission to B Tech Biomedical Engineering after the successful completion of Class 12 in PCMB subjects with a score of 55 percent marks. Some institutions may have higher eligibility requirements like 60% in case of Lovely Professional University, and 75% in case of the top IITs in the country.

You should surely visit the website of the college or university you're targeting to check their specific criteria, if any, to avoid any confusion or problems at the time of admission. Also, you must prepare for entrance tests for BME courses and score good marks in the same. The universities who offer admission on a merit basis may also conduct the PI or GD round for assessing your skills and knowledge.

Overall there are 221 BTech Biomedical Engineering colleges in India out of which 25 are government colleges and 192 private colleges. If you wish to take admission in a popular government college, you may consider the IITs and NITs like IIT Kanpur, IIT Madras, IIT Hyderabad, NIT Rourkela, etc. as they offer excellent study environment along with remarkable placement opportunities after the completion of BTech Biomedical Engineering course.

Talking about the private colleges, some of the best one include SRM Institute of Science and Technology, LPU, Thapar University, SASTRA University among others. You can go through their course syllabus, faculty, course fees and other facilities to decide which one to go for.

See, the BTech Biomedical Engineering coursework is an interesting blend of subjects from Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering, along with medical Science and biology principles. If you are very passionate about the biomedical field and want to actually contribute to the betterment of healthcare systems in India, you would love the course curriculum.

It includes both theory as well as practical lab work where you will get to learn about the designing of new medical devices and equipment after learning about the anatomical and physiological perspective of the human body, the disease, and its treatment options. You get to contribute directly to the well-being of society at large.

Some others might find the syllabus difficult according to their learning capacity and interest in the field of Biomedical Engineering. So, the answer depends on your interests and perspective about the field.
