Since you already have a background in Biomedical Engineering and Biomedical Instrumentation, shifting to MTech in Control and Instrumentation would be a better and smoother transition than Chemical Engineering. It aligns well with your existing technical base in sensors, automation, and signal systems, and offers more job opportunities in industries like manufacturing, robotics, and process automation. Chemical Engineering, on the other hand, would require learning a completely new domain and might not utilize your current skills effectively.

Hello dear candidate,

Yes, you can switch from biomedical to chemical engineering.

But you will need to check college's eligibility rules as only some colleges allows it. Or you may need to take the GATE exam in chemical or biotechnology.

I hope you find this helpful.

Thank you.

Hello

If you’re looking for a Diploma in Biomedical Engineering spot admission, there are still chances.
In Gujarat, over 2,100 diploma engineering seats are vacant across government polytechnic colleges.
Spot admission rounds are being held from September 11 to 15, 2025.
These include branches like Biomedical Engineering in some colleges.
This is a good chance if you missed regular counseling rounds.
Check official state admission portals or nearby colleges for updates.
Be ready with your documents and apply quickly once the spot round opens.

With a BTech in Biomedical Engineering and MTech in Medical Instrumentation, you can definitely apply for instrumentation engineer roles in the oil and gas industry, including offshore jobs.

Instrumentation in oil and gas involves monitoring and controlling machinery and processes which is quite related to your background in medical instrumentation because both require handling complex instruments and control systems.

You might need to get familiar with industry-specific standards and tools used in oil and gas, like SCADA systems, PLCs, and safety regulations for offshore platforms. Certifications or short courses related to industrial instrumentation can boost your chances.

So, your educational background is relevant and you can transition into instrumentation engineering roles offshore with some targeted preparation and skill upgrade!

Hello Aspirant,

Both M. Tech in Biomedical Engineering and M. Tech in Medical Nanotechnology offer excellent career opportunities, however, it will depend on your areas of interest and career goals.

• M.Tech Biomedical Engineering is more general and covers medical devices and imaging, prosthetics, and healthcare systems and is a good choice if you are looking to apply engineering to practical clinical problems, if you want a diverse range of employment in a hospital, a medical technology company, or as a researcher.
• In contrast, M.Tech Medical Nanotechnology is more specialized with an emphasis on nanoscale drug delivery, diagnostics, and regenerative medicine. It is best for students looking for advanced research qualifications, looking to work in emerging pharma or R&D professional suites, small medical-nanotechnology businesses, or potentially higher, such as a Ph.D.

The last date to apply for Diploma in Biomedical Engineering depends on the state or institution you are applying to. For most government polytechnic colleges in India, the application process is handled through state-level entrance exams or direct admission portals. In general:

• In Tamil Nadu, the last date to apply for diploma engineering courses including Biomedical Engineering was May 23, 2025 .

• In Delhi, through DSEU (Delhi Skill and Entrepreneurship University), the last date to apply is June 22, 2025 .

• For distance or open learning programs like IGNOU, the application window usually extends up to July 2025 .

• Private polytechnic colleges across India often accept direct applications until June or July , depending on seat availability.

Check the official websites of particular state technical education boards or the specific college they are interested in, as dates may vary from state to state.

Hello,

Congratulations on your son's success for his excellent performance in 10th standard.Biomedical Engineering is a  growing field that combines engineering principles with medical and biological sciences to improve healthcare technology, such as medical devices, diagnostics, and artificial organs. The future prospects for biomedical engineering are bright, especially with advancements in healthcare, biotechnology,

For admission to VIT Vellore in B.Tech Biomedical Engineering, students need to appear for VITEEE (VIT Engineering Entrance Examination), conducted by the university itself. The exam is usually held in April every year, and the application forms are released around November–December. Since your son has just entered Class 11, he should focus on strengthening his Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) foundation, along with preparation for VITEEE and JEE Main for broader opportunities. Being residents of Mumbai does not affect eligibility; admission is purely based on VITEEE performance for general category students.

Encourage your son to stay consistent in his preparation. Apart from VIT, also keep options open like IITs, NITs (through JEE Advanced/Main) and other reputed private universities that offer biomedical engineering programs.

Wishing your son all the best for his preparation and future career.

There are several factors to consider when comparing NIT Rourkela CSE and IIT Hyderabad Biomedical Engineering:

Placements

IIT Hyderabad: Has a high placement rate, with the highest package recorded at INR 90 LPA and an average package of INR 22.5 LPA in 2024. Some sources suggest the CSE department has an average package of INR 29.68 LPA. Top recruiters include Google, Microsoft, IBM, Capgemini, and Amazon.

NIT Rourkela: In 2024, the average package was INR 13.43 LPA, and the highest was INR 120 LPA (ECE branch). For CSE, the average package in 2024 was INR 21.60 LPA, and in 2023 it was INR 24.07 LPA. Top recruiters include Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Wipro, and Deloitte.

IIT vs NIT Tag

IITs have a prestigious reputation, known for academic excellence and strong alumni networks. IIT graduates often secure higher placements and easier access to higher education opportunities abroad.

NITs are also excellent institutions, offering strong programs and opportunities, although they might not carry the same brand recognition as the older IITs.

Ultimately, the "best" option is subjective and depends on individual priorities and goals. It is recommended that your friend research both programs thoroughly, consider their interests, and perhaps consult with professors or professionals in both fields to make an informed decision.

Hey ,

Yes ,  there is biomedical engineering course. You can do B.E or Btech in this field. For UG the duration of this course is four years but for PG this is for 2 years . For PG , you can do M.E , M.tech .  The admission process is based on entrance exam score. There are various entrance exam for this course like JEE Main, KEAM, GATE, CUET UG, TANCET, GUJCET, SRMJEEE . If you want to know about the best colleges for this course you can refer this :

Revert for further query!

With a CRL 310678 and OBC-NCL rank 109624 (female, Bihar domicile), admission to CSE, AI & ML, IT, or ECE in top government colleges is unlikely due to high competition.

Mechanical or Civil Engineering at Government Engineering College, Gaya or West Champaran is more feasible.

Specialized branches like Aviation or Biomedical Engineering are rarely available in Bihar government colleges.
