BHU B.Sc. (Medical Technology in Radiotherapy) FAQs
Ques. What is the difference between B.Sc. Medical Technology (Radiotherapy) and B.Sc. Medical Radiology and Imaging Technology at BHU?
Ans. Both are Special Courses offered by IMS BHU. B.Sc. Medical Technology (Radiotherapy) focuses on radiation therapy for cancer treatment - operating radiotherapy machines (LINAC, cobalt units), treatment planning, and patient care in oncology. B.Sc. Medical Radiology and Imaging Technology focuses on diagnostic imaging - X-ray, MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. Radiotherapy graduates work in cancer treatment centres, while radiology graduates work in diagnostic departments.
Ques. What are the career prospects after B.Sc. Medical Technology (Radiotherapy) from BHU?
Ans. Graduates can work as Radiation Therapists, Radiotherapy Technologists, and Dosimetrists in cancer hospitals (AIIMS, Tata Memorial, Apollo Cancer Centres, HCG Oncology), government cancer institutes, and private oncology centres. With growing cancer incidence in India, demand for trained radiotherapy professionals is increasing rapidly. Starting salaries range from Rs. 3-6 LPA, with experienced professionals earning Rs. 8-15 LPA. Further study in M.Sc. Medical Physics opens doors to higher-paying roles.
Ques. What is the CUET cutoff for B.Sc. Medical Technology (Radiotherapy) at BHU?
Ans. The CUET UG 2025 General category cutoff for B.Sc. Medical Technology (Radiotherapy) at BHU was approximately 624-632 marks. This is a highly competitive programme with very limited seats. SC/ST/OBC candidates have lower cutoffs as per reservation norms.
Ques. How many seats are available for B.Sc. Medical Technology (Radiotherapy) at BHU?
Ans. The exact seat count is limited (typically around 15 seats) as this is a Special Course under IMS BHU. There are no paid seats available for this course. The limited seats make it one of the most competitive allied health science programmes in India.
Ques. Can I pursue M.Sc. Medical Physics after completing B.Sc. Medical Technology (Radiotherapy) from BHU?
Ans. Yes, M.Sc. Medical Physics is a natural progression after this programme. BHU and several other institutions offer M.Sc. Medical Physics programmes. Medical Physicists are in high demand in radiotherapy departments and earn significantly higher salaries (Rs. 8-20 LPA). The BARC (Bhabha Atomic Research Centre) also offers training programmes for medical physicists.
