Frequently Asked

Programme FAQs

Common questions about choosing a programme. For admission, fees, and process questions, see /admission/.

Which paramedical course should I take after 12th Science?
It depends on the work you want. Choose medical laboratory technology for diagnostic lab and pathology work, operation theatre technology to assist surgeons in the OT, radiology and imaging for X-ray, CT and MRI, or physiotherapy to treat pain and restore movement. The decision guide above matches each situation to a course, and a counsellor will talk it through on the phone.
What are the fees for paramedical courses in Patna?
At VIMS, full-programme fees range from ₹54,000 for a one-year certificate to ₹2,86,000 for a four-year degree, depending on the course and study mode. The complete fee table for our private college is on the admission page.
Is this the same as a DMLT, BMLT or radiology technician course?
Yes — those are the names the market commonly uses. At VIMS these are taught as medical laboratory technology and radiology and imaging technology, leading to a diploma or degree conferred by a UGC-recognised university, with the same clinical training either way.
What is the difference between campus and flexible mode?
Campus mode is full-time, in-person study at the Patna campus with regular classes and supervised clinical postings — the route for 12th Science pass students. Flexible mode is built around a working schedule for people already employed in healthcare, and requires proof of current healthcare employment. Both lead to the same qualification.
Do I need an entrance exam to join?
No. Admission is direct, based on your 12th Standard performance, document verification and a counsellor interaction. There is no entrance exam and no competitive cut-off.
Are classes taught in Hindi or English?
Teaching is primarily in English, with Hindi used freely in class so nothing is lost in translation. Practical sessions and clinical postings are conducted in whichever language the students and instructor are most comfortable with.
