Frequently Asked

Programme FAQs

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

Which course should I take after 12th Science?
It depends on your interest. If you enjoyed Biology, MLT (lab work) is a strong fit. If you're comfortable with hands-on technical work and want to be in surgery, OTT is the right path. If you want to work with imaging equipment, RIT fits. If you're unsure, call our counsellor at 1800-419-8443 — a 30-minute conversation usually clarifies it.
Can I switch programmes after admission?
Within the first four weeks, yes — programme switches are possible if seats are available in the requested programme and the academic calendar permits. After 4 weeks, switches become difficult because coursework diverges. Speak to the admissions office for current options.
What's the difference between Campus and Flexible mode?
Campus mode is full-time, in-person at the Patna campus, designed for 12th Science pass students preparing for a first healthcare career. Flexible mode is for working healthcare professionals — weekend and online classes, requires proof of current healthcare employment. The degree awarded is identical.
When can I do M.Voc?
M.Voc is a postgraduate programme that requires a Bachelor's degree (B.Voc, B.Sc, or equivalent). It is for graduates already working in healthcare who want a Master's-level qualification. 12th Science pass students cannot directly enter M.Voc — they should start with a Bachelor's programme (B.Voc) first.
Are subjects taught in Hindi or English?
Lectures are conducted primarily in English with Hindi explanations where needed. Course materials and exams use a Hindi-medium script in a majority of subjects, with English where industry terminology requires it.
