The B.Sc in Perfusion Technology is a 3-year full-time undergraduate programme offered at Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College (JNMC), Belagavi, a constituent college of KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research (KAHER), a Category-1 Deemed-to-be University accredited with NAAC A+ grade. Perfusion Technology is a highly specialised allied health science discipline focused on operating heart-lung bypass machines (cardiopulmonary bypass) during open-heart surgeries and other cardiac procedures. The programme trains students in extracorporeal circulation, cardiac surgery support, blood management, and critical care perfusion. The total tuition fee for the 3-year programme is Rs. 2,41,000 (Rs. 81,000 in Year 1 and Rs. 80,000 each in Years 2 and 3) as per the KAHER fee structure for 2026-27. Admission is through the KAHER All India Entrance Test (KAHER-AIET), conducted annually. The programme is popular due to JNMC's strong cardiac surgery infrastructure, the attached KLE Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital and MRC (2,200 beds) with a dedicated cardiovascular and thoracic surgery department, and the very limited number of institutions offering this specialised programme in India.

Admissions for the 2026-27 session are expected to be notified around March 2026, with the KAHER-AIET 2026 exam expected in May 2026, based on the 2025-26 pattern.
