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: 

• NIT, Raipur
• NIT, Rourkela
• TSEC, Mumbai
• DJ Sanghvi College of Engineering, Mumbai
• GEC, Gujarat
• SSN College of Engineering - Anna University
• BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore
• VIT, Vellore
• Manipal Institute of Technology, Bangalore
• Bharati Vidyapeeth, Pune
• BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore
• MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology, Bangalore
