B.Tech Biomedical Engineering

Anybody who has cleared the Class 12 board examination in the Science background with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics/Biology subjects and secured at least 50 to 60% marks, can go ahead and apply for this course at several reputed institutions across the country.

You will also have to clear entrance tests conducted at the national/state/institution levels with a good rank to be able to get admission to the best colleges such as the IITs and the NITs. It is important to note that the minimum eligibility criteria is higher for these institutions, around 75% marks in Class 12.

Also, several colleges and universities provide admission on the basis of Class 12 marks as well. But, they usually conduct their own separate rounds of assessment in such cases.

BTech Biomedical Engineering course basically teaches students how to combine Engineering concepts with medical research and product development. It is done in order to create new ways to treat and cure injuries and diseases. With an undergraduate degree in BME, students will have a firm grasp in Engineering principles, Mathematics and Science, and also combine that with healthcare knowledge. 

Biomedical Engineering courses enable students to create a meaningful impact on the world because biomedical engineers are directly involved in the process of saving people's lives by designing advanced healthcare devices and necessary medical equipment.

Hello candidate! In BTech Biomedical Engineering, the focus is more on skill development and practical application of engineering technology during the four-year course span. It is best-suited for technical roles in the field of medical science such as Product Development Engineer, Laboratory Technician, Medical Imaging Specialist, etc. You will get good work opportunities after the completion of the course because of the growing demand of biomedical engineers in the medical industry. The course may seem a bit challenging in the beginning, but if you are passionate about the field and the purpose that it serves, you will surely reach heights.

Talking about BSc Biomedical Engineering, on the other hand, the focus is more on theoretical knowledge and the duration is of three years. This degree course may be the perfect fit for you if you are interested in research and development job profiles or wish to go for higher studies in the field of medical science. The coursework content is quite broad and include pure scientific knowledge. You may go for a master's degree in biomedical engineering after completing the course that will provide you good career opportunities in future. Best wishes!

Hi aspirant!

Well, this is quite a subjective question. A BTech degree in Biomedical Engineering is a four-year degree course where you get to learn about the practical application of engineering concepts and ideas in the world of medical Science and healthcare so as to contribute to the betterment of society. You can start earning right after the completion of the course, as the job opportunities offered in the field are very promising in the near future. A BTech degree is good for you if you wish to go into tech/non-tech job roles, offering you instant gratification.

On the other hand, an integrated BTech-MTech in Biomedical Engineering is a five-year course where you will earn a dual degree that offers you extensive learning opportunities and prepares you for research roles. If your interest lies in medical research and development, you must definitely pursue this degree course. You may start earning late because of the course duration that may give you a feeling of delayed gratification, but the pleasure will surely be long-term.

Rest, it completely depends on your interest areas, future career goals, and determination. You must indulge in some self-introspection and then come to a decision. All the very best!
