Overview

Biomedical engineering is a multidisciplinary area that combines engineering, biology, and medical principles to develop products and technology that improve healthcare. It applies engineering techniques and design concepts to improve diagnosis, therapy, and overall patient care. Many biomedical engineers form their own firms and enterprises to develop and commercialize their innovations, medical devices, or healthcare products. They may seek finance, engage with industry partners, and develop new technology and goods for the market.

Course Duration: For 10+2 students, the UG degree in B. Tech / BE Biomedical engineering lasts four years at any university in the country, and three years for Diploma graduates.

Features:

B.Tech in Biomedical Engineering programs provide a varied curriculum combining engineering basics, biological sciences, and medical applications.

Students learn about medical imaging tools such as X-rays, MRIs, and ultrasounds, as well as how to interpret and evaluate medical pictures.

Its goal is to provide breakthrough technology, systems, and solutions to improve diagnosis, treatment, patient care, and general well-being.

Graduates of this curriculum are well suited to work in medical device businesses, hospitals, research organizations, and healthcare technology startups.

Biomedical engineers are problem solvers who strive to identify healthcare issues and devise viable solutions.

Biomedical engineering syllabus:

Students who opt to study biomedical engineering often take courses in physiology, electronics, and computational modeling, giving a comprehensive education that combines biology and engineering. The B.Tech degree in Biomedical Engineering lasts four years and includes eight semesters. Students focus on essential subjects in the first year, while more specialized topics are introduced in the second year. The curriculum emphasizes practical learning through hands-on projects and internships. Below is a breakdown of the syllabus across semesters.

Eligibility & Admission:

• Eligibility for B.E./B.Tech: Students must have passed the 10+2/PUC/equivalent examination from a recognized board or institution with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as obligatory courses, achieving 50% aggregate marks (45% for SC/ST/OBC).
• The student should be 17 years old by December 2023.
• Students must have passed at least one entrance exam, such as JEE Main and Advanced, WBJEE, IMU CET, SRMJEEE MET, and so on.

Admission Process-

• Admission to B.E/B. Tech programs is dependent on a rating in the National Entrance Examination (JEE), a state-level entrance exam such as WBJEE, or direct university entrance exams. The JEE Mains exams are held in two stages. Some institutions give seats based on 12th-grade exam merit. There is no one-size-fits-all strategy to admission, so please become acquainted with the various entrance tests and the relevant dates for the exams and cut-offs in colleges.

Admission Exams for B.E./B.Tech Biomedical Engineering

• To pursue a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical, students must first take the National Entrance Examination (JEE) or State-level Entrance Exams like as KCET, MHT CET, WBJEE, or COMED-K, followed by University Entrance Exams.

Here are the details of the top entrance exams for engineering.

• The National Testing Agency (NTA) conducts the JEE Main exam online over a three-hour period.
• The Indian Institute of Technology conducts the JEE Advanced (IIT JEE) exam online with a duration of three hours.
• The KCET exam is administered in offline mode by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) and lasts 1 hour and 20 minutes.
• The West Bengal Joint Entrance Exam conducts the WBJEE exam in offline mode for a length of two hours.
• The Maharashtra Government conducts the MHT- CET test in offline mode with a time constraint of 1 hour and 30 minutes.
