Yes, there are entrance exams for M.Sc. Radiology, but the exact requirement depends on the university, institute type (government or private), and the specific specialization (Radiology / Medical Imaging / Radiography).

In government colleges and central universities, admission to M.Sc. Radiology or M.Sc. Medical Imaging is usually done through a university-level or national-level entrance examination. Institutes such as AIIMS, PGIMER Chandigarh, JIPMER (now under INI-CET), and some state government medical colleges conduct their own entrance tests. These exams generally test candidates on subjects studied during graduation such as physics, anatomy, physiology, radiographic techniques, radiation physics, basic electronics, and patient care, depending on whether your background is B.Sc. Radiology, Medical Imaging Technology, or a related allied health science. Some central universities also conduct CUET-PG, and a few universities now accept CUET-PG scores for admission to M.Sc. Radiology or allied health science courses.

In private universities and deemed-to-be universities, the admission process is relatively flexible. Many private institutions either conduct a basic internal entrance test, followed by counselling or interview, or offer direct admission based on graduation marks. However, even in private colleges, preference is usually given to candidates who have completed B.Sc. Radiology / Radiography / Medical Imaging Technology from a recognized institution, with a minimum percentage (generally 50–55%). Some reputed private universities may still test your subject knowledge to ensure eligibility.

Regarding eligibility, most universities require candidates to have completed a B.Sc. in Radiology, Radiography, Medical Imaging Technology, or an equivalent allied health science degree. Candidates from unrelated science backgrounds are generally not eligible, even if they clear an entrance exam, because Radiology is a highly specialized clinical field involving patient exposure to radiation and imaging equipment.

To summarize, yes, entrance exams do exist for M.Sc. Radiology, especially in government and central institutions, while private universities may offer admission through merit or a simpler test. It is strongly advised to check the official admission brochure of the specific university you are targeting, as eligibility criteria and entrance requirements can vary each year.

For the second question about choosing between M. Sc Clinical Research, M. Sc Clinical Embryology, and M. Sc Biotechnology after completing B. Sc MLT, the better option depends mainly on your career goals. If you are interested in the hospital and diagnostic side, M. Sc Clinical Research can be a suitable choice, as it opens opportunities in clinical trials, research coordination, pharmaceutical companies, and healthcare research organisations. This field has growing demand, especially with the expansion of drug trials and medical research in India. M. Sc Clinical Embryology, on the other hand, is a highly specialised and skill-based programme with strong career potential, particularly if you are interested in working in IVF clinics, fertility centres, and assisted reproductive technology labs. However, it requires intensive hands-on training, and employment prospects depend heavily on the quality of the institute and clinical exposure. M. Sc Biotechnology is a broader academic and research-oriented course that offers flexibility for careers in research, higher studies (PhD), teaching, and biotech industries, but it is more competitive and may not give immediate clinical placement benefits compared to the other two. Overall, if you want faster clinical employment linked closely to your MLT background, Clinical Research or Clinical Embryology would generally be better choices, whereas Biotechnology is more suitable if you are inclined towards long-term research or academia.

Hello

Yes, you can do an IGNOU B.Ed (distance mode) along with a regular M.Sc from another university at the same time.
UGC rules now allow students to pursue two degree courses simultaneously.
One course should preferably be in distance/ODL mode and the other in regular mode, which fits your case.
Both degrees will be considered valid, provided you meet the eligibility criteria for each course. You will need to manage your classes, exams, and schedules on your own. It’s always best to confirm once with IGNOU and your M.Sc university before final admission.
