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.

If you want, you can tell me your graduation course, marks, and whether you are targeting government or private colleges, and I can guide you more precisely on the best entrance exams and colleges suitable for you.

Hello,

Here are some Entrance Exams for MSc Radiology (Medical Radio Imaging):

  • CUET-PG (Common University Entrance Test-PG): Conducted nationally for admission into central and participating universities.
  • University-Specific Exams: Some institutes (e.g., AIIMS, JIPMER, private medical universities) conduct their own entrance tests.
  • Merit-Based Admission: A few colleges admit students directly based on BSc marks (in subjects like Radiology, Medical Imaging, or allied sciences).

Hello,

Generally, for M.Sc. Radiology, it is reported that they are not conducting such exams for the admissions; the admission process will be held based on the exams for NEET PG or through the university-level entrance tests.
