Hello Nandana,

The RCC (Regional Cancer Centre) Radiation Physics entrance exam will assess your understanding of basic concepts in Physics, especially in terms of the significance of radiation and nuclear concepts in physics. The exam will not be reflective of the entire MSc Physics syllabus in detail. You need a solid understanding of basic topics you learned in BSc Physics like Modern Physics, Nuclear Physics, Electric and Magnetic Phenomena, and Mathematical Physics. The questions will mainly be conceptual and application-based and not too theoretical. In terms of Chemistry and Human Anatomy, expect questions on:

• Basic Radiation Chemistry: This includes a discussion of the interaction of radiation with matter, free radicals, and reactions relevant to dosimetry.
• Human Anatomy and Physiology: You should focus on systems related to the adverse effects of radiation (i.e., skeletal, reproductive, neural systems) and basic cell biology.

In summary, expect a balance in questions across Physics (70-80%) with some Chemistry and Biology (20-30%) - but always framed in terms of their applications as relates to medical and radiation physics applications.
