SGT University Gurgaon B.Sc Perfusion Technology: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. A Perfusion Technologist (also called a Clinical Perfusionist) operates and manages the heart-lung bypass machine (cardiopulmonary bypass circuit) during open-heart surgeries, heart transplants, and other cardiac procedures. They are responsible for maintaining the patient's blood circulation and oxygenation when the heart is temporarily stopped during surgery. With the rapid growth of cardiac surgery centres and super-specialty hospitals in India, the demand for trained perfusionists far exceeds the supply. Very few colleges in India offer a dedicated B.Sc. in Perfusion Technology, making graduates from programmes like SGT University's highly sought after by top cardiac hospitals.

Ans. The B.Sc. in Perfusion Technology at SGT University is available in two formats: a 3-year standard degree (6 semesters) and a 4-year Honours with Research degree (8 semesters). Both formats are followed by a mandatory 1-year internship, making the total duration 4 years (3-year + 1-year internship) or 5 years (4-year + 1-year internship) respectively. The internship is conducted in cardiac surgery settings, providing hands-on experience with heart-lung machines and cardiac procedures under the supervision of experienced perfusionists and cardiac surgeons.

Ans. The annual tuition fee is INR 1,50,000. The total academic fee for the 3-year programme is approximately INR 3.72 Lakhs (tuition INR 3.60 Lakhs + caution INR 10,000 + other INR 2,500), and for the 4-year Honours programme it is approximately INR 4.93 Lakhs (tuition INR 4.80 Lakhs + caution INR 10,000 + other INR 2,500). Scholarships are available based on Class 12 marks: 100% tuition waiver for 90%+, 50% for 80-89.99%, and 25% for 70-79.99%. Female students in Allied Health Sciences receive an additional 5% scholarship. Performance-based scholarships of 25% are available for subsequent years for students who pass all subjects in the first attempt with 75%+ aggregate.

Ans. SGT University has an 800+ bed multispecialty teaching hospital (SGT Hospital) on campus with an active cardiac surgery unit, providing direct clinical exposure to students. The hospital is equipped with modern heart-lung bypass machines and cardiac surgery infrastructure. Students receive mentorship from experienced perfusionists and cardiac surgeons during their clinical rotations and the mandatory 1-year internship. The university also facilitates off-campus training at reputed cardiac surgery centres in Delhi NCR, ensuring students gain exposure to high-volume cardiac surgery environments before graduation.

Ans. Yes. Students who have completed a 2-year Diploma in Perfusion Technology after Class 12 are eligible for lateral entry directly into the second year of the B.Sc. Perfusion Technology programme at SGT University. This allows diploma holders to upgrade their qualification to a full degree in a shorter time. Lateral entry candidates must meet the eligibility criteria and go through the standard admission process including document verification and Personal Interview. The lateral entry option is particularly useful for working professionals in cardiac surgery settings who wish to formalise their qualifications.

Ans. Graduates can work as Perfusion Technologists, Clinical Perfusionists, Cardiovascular Technologists, Cardiac Surgery Assistants, or Research Associates in cardiac surgery centres, super-specialty hospitals, and research institutions. Top recruiters include Fortis Hospital, Apollo Hospitals, Max Healthcare, Medanta, AIIMS, Narayana Health, Manipal Hospitals, Care Hospitals, and Tata Memorial Hospital. Due to the acute shortage of trained perfusionists in India, starting salaries are typically higher than most other allied health roles, ranging from INR 4-6 LPA for freshers at reputed hospitals, with experienced perfusionists earning INR 8-15 LPA or more at top cardiac centres. International opportunities also exist in the Middle East, UK, and USA for certified perfusionists.
