Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical engineers design and develop life-saving medical devices and technologies  (e.g. implants,  diagnostics,  prosthetics),  making healthcare more accessible and affordable in India.

This field helps address complex healthcare challenges and improve patient outcomes in the Indian medical field.

Example:

• Affordable respirators developed by Indian biomedical engineers helped during COVID-19

Candidates who aspire to pursue M.Tech Biomedical Engineering course must clear GATE in order to be eligible for this course. Some of the colleges offering M.Tech Biomedical Engineering courses are as follows:

• IIT Bombay
• IIT Delhi
• VIT Vellore
• Manipal Institute of Technology
• IIT Madras

Some of the popular colleges offering BTech Biomedical Engineering course in Hyderabad are as follows:

• IIT Hyderabad
• Osmania University
• BV Raju Institute of Technology
• Government Institute of Electronics
• INSOFE

On completing BTech in Biomedical Engineering, you can expect to earn an average salary between INR 4 LPA and INR 6 LPA. But having some work experience will not only imrpove your knowledge and skills but will also increase your annual salary. The salary offered will depend on the experience as well as the location. Cities such as Hyderabad, Bangalore, Pune and Delhi offer very good pay packages in comparison to other cities.

Biomedical Engineering prepares candidates in Engineering, Management, Medical Administration, Sales and Regulatory Practices. Such graduates also go on to study further in Medicine, Dentistry, Physical Therapy and laws, as well as Biomedical Engineering. Graduates are required in a wide range of industries such as medical device manufacturing, healthcare, research and development. After finishing this course, candidates can take up the job profiles such as:

• Medical Device Engineer
• Biomedical Engineer
• Consultant
• Researcher

For admission to the master's programme, candidates will have to complete their graduation in the Biomedical Engineering/ Biotechnology branch from a recognised university/institute. A candidate who possesses BTech degree is eligible and if someone has an MBBS degree can also pursue a post-graduate course in Biomedical Engineering.

Candidates must clear GATE and possess a good score in order to secure admission in postgraduate examination. Some government and private colleges accept state-level entrance examination scores also.

For admission to the BTech program in Biomedical Engineering, a candidate should have completed their Senior Secondary education (10+2) in Science stream from a recognised board. They must have scored a minimum overall score of 50-60% in Class 12 examination.

If anyone wants admission in top Biomedical Engineering government colleges then they must also clear any national-level or state-level engineering entrance examination in order to secure admission in top engineering colleges.

Admission requirements for programs at IIT Madras, including Biomedical Engineering, typically include strong academic performance, especially in math and Science subjects. If you fail in math, it may impact your eligibility for admission to the program. It is recommended to check the specific admission criteria for the Biomedical Engineering programme at IIT Madras and consider improving your math skills before applying. Additionally, you may want to reach out to the admissions office at IIT Madras for further guidance on your specific situation.
