Biomedical Engineer
Dear aspirant....!!
Biomedical Engineering sector in India is broadly divided into 3 groups :
The expectations from Biomedical Engineering jobs in India are very high, as students and parents compare it with highly paid streams like IT, CS, and others. But, career as a biomedical engineer in India has more to offer than just money.
India is just embracing Biomedical Engineering opportunities with its booming healthcare sector in the recent 10 years. Yet in this short span, biomedical field has seen plausible growth in India. Biomedical sector in India offers constant growth in both knowledge and money, if not immediate rise to peak like IT sector. So, students should have a steady mentality to grasp all that comes in their way and be prepared for leaps that offer more practical experience and knowledge.
Sales, Servicing and Maintenance profile deals with the sales and servicing of devices, equipments and instruments used at hospitals. This primarily includes ECG, USG, ESU, syringe and infusion pumps, ventilators, defibrillators, anaesthesia machines, x-ray units, CR-DR units, etc. Well established biomedical companies undergo sales and servicing of other important machines like CT scanners, MRI scanners, PET-CT scanners, CathLab units, etc.
Once sold, these machines obviously have to be callibrated and maintained very often to prevent unexpected breakdowns. So that extends the role as Maintenance Engineer and Field Service Engineer. This profile also extends as Application Specialist where the Biomedical Engineer gets to interact with primary healthcare professionals like doctors and nurses, to explain them and take seminars on the working of medical instruments once they are installed in the hospital.
Usually, students after their UG (B.E or B.Tech) want to work immediately at big companies like GE, Philips, etc. But that is not the case anyways. It is wise to work for a minimum of 1–2 years at smaller companies and gather all knowledge and professional contacts, then approach big companies. Similarly, these smaller companies too prefer freshers (0 year experience) UG biomedical engineers than PG engineers. This is mainly because the companies have to pay less for UG engineers than PG engineers and also due to the fact that UG engineers have an utmost need and urge to get a job(money), they tend to work more actively than others.
Biomedical Engineer at hospitals
This is the exact role for which the students have studied all their years. As a biomedical engineer at hospitals, engineers work round the clock by performing daily callibration of devices in all the departments in the hospital, attend to breakdown calls, schedule routine checks and maintenance of instruments and call the company service engineers accordingly, generate audit reports, planning of a department in the hospital, biomedical waste management, etc.
This too opens up an ocean of practical knowledge and professional contacts with doctors, healthcare providers and research scientists that help while undergoing a leap or change in career fields.
Research and Development
Biomedical engineers play a crucial role in developing technologies that help both the rich and needy. Biomedical engineers as Reaseach scientists work in close relationship with doctors and understand their need regarding a particular issue (eg. Image processing techniques to improve medical images for better diagnosis) and develop solutions for those real world problems.
Big companies like GE, Philips, etc constantly indulge themselves in Reaseach and development, especially in imagers and scanners, to improve the quality of service and ease of use to technicians.

Hello Abhish,
Chennai Mathematical Institute, CMI, has released the notification for 2019 entrance exams and it includes two B.Sc. courses Viz,
There is a Common Entrance Exam for both the B.Sc. (Hons.) Program which you need to select during the application process.
Eligibility criteria for BSc courses
career prospects:
B.Sc. Mathematics graduates can follow teaching profession by teaching in schools or opening their own coaching classes. B.Sc maths degree holders are also required in Banking and Business services, Government Jobs, Investment and Insurance among many other employment areas. Degree holders in Mathematics are respected for their excellent quantitative and problem- solving abilities and can get hold of a wide range of rewarding positions in both public and private sectors. Successful graduates of the course are employed in banking, finance, insurance, and risk-management, besides universities and scientific institutes.
Some popular fields and jobs employing such graduates and the salary Package are given below
I hope this was helpful. All the best.
no pcb student can not do any engineering course as student must have maths in the 12th board exam. but you can do bsc in biotechnology as some university make this course to biology students also. biotechnology engineering course only available for maths students only.
Hello.
Biomedical engineering is an up and coming branch of engineering whose scope and career prospects are increasing day by day. It is a discipline that is offered in almost all the IITs and also in several NITs and other GFTIs.
The career prospects centre majorly around research work,the scope is way more in foreign countries as compared to India.
B.Tech Biomedical Engineering:
Biomedical Engineering is a highly specialized course and for this reason many students tend to pursue this field for graduate studies such as MS, MTech or PhD. An undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering and Biotechnology will give students a strong foundation for further studies in Biomedical Engineering. When compared with other engineering disciplines, very few Indian universities offer a BTech degree in Biomedical Engineering. Following is a list of top institutes that offer this course at the undergraduate level in India:
List of Biomedical Engineering Research Centers in India:
Research Areas: Biomedical Engineering has many sub-disciplines and research areas which goes to prove how diverse and vast this field is. Following are a few sub disciplines within this realm.
