While it is not easy to join college directly after B.Tech in Biomedical from an MBBS, there are a couple of courses you can opt for:

1. NEET-PG:

Eligibility: If one qualifies eligibility criteria for NEET-PG, then can try for the test.

Preparations: These include Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, and Forensic Medicine.

Coaching: Take admission in any coaching institute that prepares students for NEET-PG.

2. DMLT.

Eligibility: You may have to fulfill certain eligibility requirements, like a science background at 10+2 level.

Admission Procedure: Apply to colleges offering DMLT programmes

Post DMLT: After DMLT you can opt for a postgraduate Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology or any other allied field

3. Research:

Consider some post-graduation programme by opting for a Doctoral degree in an allied field like Bio-medical Engineering and Bioinformatics.

This could get you a research job in academic institutes or research organizations

4. Other Careers:

Explore other career opportunities in the health care sector including biomedical engineering, development of medical devices or health care IT.

These fields give you the chance to exercise your engineering skills in the health care

Change from engineering to medicine would require you a major dedication and commitment. Make sure you have sorted matters well, or taken the route that best matches with your long-term goals.

Consult with Experts: Discuss your decision-making regarding the job transition, with your medical experts, academic advisor, or career counselors.

Research: You must do ample research and understand all options and collect information about the specific needs and challenges involved in it.

Staying updated: You need to be updated with the latest regulation and admissions process.

Preparing for Competitive Exams: If you decide to do a medical degree, then you need to prepare very hard for an entrance exam like NEET-PG.

Through such careful planning and steps taken, you can also achieve your goal of doing a career in medicines.
