BSc Radiology and Imaging Technology is better for direct and high paying hospital jobs (INR 5–10 LPA) with faster career entry but BPharma offers more diverse and stable roles in manufacturing, sales or even retail pharmacy (INR 2–5 LPA).
You should choose Radiology for tech or diagnostic work and BPharmacy for chemistry/medicine sales.
Hope this helped solving your doubt! All the best!

No, Radiology is not considered a paramedical field. Paramedical fields typically involve healthcare professions that support medical professionals, such as nurses, medical assistants, and paramedics.
Radiology, on the other hand, is a medical speciality that focuses on the use of medical imaging techniques to diagnose and treat diseases and injuries.
Radiologists are highly trained medical doctors who specialize in interpreting medical images such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds to provide diagnoses and guide patient care. They undergo extensive medical education and residency training to become experts in their field.

Radiology primarily uses non-invasive imaging modalities such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and fluoroscopy to visualize anatomical structures and detect abnormalities in the body.
On the other hand, Nuclear medicine employs radioactive substances (radiopharmaceuticals) that emit gamma rays to create images of physiological processes within the body. Common imaging techniques in nuclear medicine include positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and gamma camera imaging.
