PES University Bangalore B.Sc {Hons.} Medical Technology: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. MBBS is a 5.5-year medical degree (4.5 years + 1 year internship) that qualifies graduates to practise as doctors. B.Sc (Hons.) Medical Science is a 4-year allied health sciences degree (3 years + 1 year internship) that does not qualify graduates to practise as independent doctors. However, it provides strong clinical exposure and prepares students for careers in healthcare support, research, hospital administration, health insurance, and medical technology. It is ideal for students who could not secure MBBS admission but wish to work in the healthcare sector.

Ans. Students get practical exposure through PES University's 1000+ bedded multi-speciality medical college hospital at Electronic City, Bangalore. During the fourth year (internship), students work with senior doctors in clinical workstations including wards and critical care units, documenting and carrying out tests, transcribing patient data, and facilitating insurance processes. Additional exposure is provided through biotechnology industries and research centres in and around Bangalore.

Ans. Graduates can work as Healthcare Assistants, Research Assistants, Public Health Assistants, Health Insurance Officers, Medical Transcriptionists, Hospital Administrators, and NGO workers in health promotion. They can also pursue postgraduate studies in M.Sc, Ph.D in fields like Human Anatomy, Physiology, Medical Pharmacology, Medical Biochemistry, Medical Microbiology, Medical Genetics, Medical Biotechnology, or an MBA in Healthcare Management.

Ans. The programme is offered by PES University, which is a UGC-recognised university. The programme is part of the Institute of Allied Health Sciences at the Electronic City Campus. While it is not regulated by the National Medical Commission (NMC) like MBBS, it is a legitimate university degree that opens doors to healthcare, research, and allied health careers.

Ans. The eligibility requires 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB). Students from a PCM (without Biology) background are generally not eligible. Students who have studied Biology as a subject at 10+2 level, regardless of whether they are from a pure science or vocational stream, may apply subject to meeting the minimum percentage requirement.

Ans. The programme has a total intake of only 30 seats, making it one of the smallest and most selective cohorts at PES University. This small batch size ensures highly personalised attention from faculty, more hands-on clinical training opportunities, and a focused learning environment. Students benefit from direct mentoring and better access to the hospital and research facilities at the Electronic City Campus.
