Biomedical Engineering is an innovative field of study that fuses together the knowledge of biological sciences along with engineering principles to solve complex problems of the healthcare sector. Despite its recent advent, biomedical engineering has become an integral part of medical sciences, as it offers innovative and practical solutions to complex biological issues. The impact of biomedical engineering on the medical domain is clearly visible through the variety of medical equipment and machinery that have been developed to aid in diagnosis, monitoring as well as treatment of patients. The common examples include MRIs, EEGs, biomedical chips, biocompatible prostheses and many more.
Medical technology has always been one of the most intriguing subjects of study for medical students. Introduction of engineering skills in this mix has led to the development of a subject that is capable of much more than just development of machinery and healthcare components. Despite its vast nature and exponential growth prospects, not many are aware of the immense opportunities that are on offer in biomedical engineering domains at both academic as well as professional level.
Academically speaking, students interested in taking up biomedical engineering as a subject of study can do so either at undergraduate level or post graduate level. At the undergraduate level, students can opt for B.Tech / B.E in Biomedical engineering after completing their class 12th board examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as their core subjects. At the postgraduate level, students can opt for M.Tech programmes with specialization in biomedical engineering. Further studies can also be opted for through research opportunities with various independent laboratories or with the help of healthcare companies.
Due to the niche nature of biomedical engineering, the subject is offered as an engineering specialization by a handful of institutes only. We have listed the top biomedical engineering institutes and colleges in India below, to help students pick the right one.
