Hey Lakshmi.



Biomedical Engineering is the confluence of engineering, technology and biological sciences to improve the quality of healthcare, medicine and human life. Biomedical engineers and scientists are responsible for developing, designing and improving medical devices and procedures for efficient diagnosis, operation and treatment of diseases and other health ailments. Some examples of Biomedical Engineering innovations are artificial limbs, prosthetics, imaging machines and various other medical devices.

Biomedical Engineering is still in the development stage in India and, therefore, scope is very limited for this field. One of the main reasons why progress is slow is due to the lack of integration between research institutions, hospitals and universities in India. In developed nations such as USA, UK and Singapore, excellent integration exists between universities and hospitals, thereby creating the perfect environment for R&D in Biomedical Engineering. In India, most of the jobs related to Biomedical Engineering are in non-tech areas such as service, maintenance, customer support, sales and management. Students interested in pursuing a career in research and core development work in Biomedical Engineering must look for jobs in universities, labs and research centers in India or pursue MS and PhD studies in USA, UK and other nations.

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

Hope this helps. All the best.

There is a huge scope of Biotechnology. See may on the researchers research on astrophysics , space science etc.But it not have any effect on the human profiles.So only the biotechnology its related with medical Issues with the human beings.So there is a huge scope.
