Picking a paramedical college isn't just about the name—there's a bunch of stuff you gotta check before deciding. First off, make sure the college is legit—like approved by UGC, AICTE, or your state medical council. No point paying big bucks for a degree that doesn't even count.
Next, see if they actually offer the course and specialisation you're into. Check out their labs, libraries, and medical equipment too—you need hands-on practice, not just theory. Don't forget the teachers—their experience matters a lot.
Also, a college with hospital tie-ups is gold. It means you get proper internships and real clinical exposure. Some col

A diploma course is usually short, like 1 to 2 years, and focuses on practical, job-ready skills in paramedical stuff like Medical Lab Tech, Operation Theatre Tech, or Radiology.
Degree courses like BSc Physio or BSc Radiology are longer, 3 to 4 years, and go deeper into both theory and practical work.
Diploma holders can grab entry-level jobs, but degree grads usually get better career options, higher pay, and can go for postgrad studies or specialisations. Overall, degree courses give more long-term growth than diplomas.

No, most Paramedical courses need a Science background (PCB – Physics, Chemistry, Biology) in 12th coz they focus on medical and healthcare stuff. Courses like BSc Nursing, BSc Physio and BSc Radiology usually want you to have studied Biology in school.
But if you're from a non-medical background, you can still do some Diploma or certificate courses in hospital admin, medical records or healthcare support stuff, which don't need a Science stream.

The least age required in order to get admitted in most of the paramedical courses in India is typically 17 years. Diploma-level as well as degree-level programs fall under this category. Certain certificate courses demand an even lesser age of approximately 16 years, but this may differ from institution to institution.
However, the age limit may be variable with the type of course as well as the rules of the university or the board.
