The minimum eligibility for this course requires passing class 12th/higher secondary examination with Biology or Maths with a minimum of 50% marks. The mode of admission is through entrance exams such as JEE Mains, JEE Advanced, NEST, etc. A fresh graduate of this course can expect an annual salary of between INR 2.10 LPA which would only increase with experience in the field. The scope of Biomedical Engineering in India and Abroad:
India: Biomedical Engineering is still in the development stage in India and, therefore, scope is very vast for this field due to little workforce and skilled people in this field in India. The job profiles can be a research scientist, lecturer, physician, technical writer, biomedical engineer, etc. In developed nations such as USA, UK and Singapore, excellent integration exists between universities and hospitals, thereby creating the perfect environment for R&D in Biomedical Engineering. In India, most of the jobs related to Biomedical Engineering are in non-tech areas such as service, maintenance, customer support, sales and management. Students interested in pursuing a career in research and core development work in Biomedical Engineering must look for jobs in universities, labs and research centers in India or pursue MS and Ph.D. studies in USA, UK and other nations.
Abroad: The scope for this field is excellent abroad. Biomedical Engineering is doing extremely well in USA, UK, Germany, Singapore, Canada and Australia. Other countries such as Japan and China are also doing very well in this field. There has been some tremendous achievements and breakthroughs in these nations due to the excellent integration that exists between research centers, universities and hospitals, thereby enabling researchers, scientists, faculty and surgeons to work together to solve complex problems in medicine and healthcare. Pay packages are impressive for biomedical engineers in these countries. Students who are very ambitious and looking to climb up the ladder in this field will benefit immensely from a Ph.D. degree in biomedical engineering. A career in Biomedical engineering will be very rewarding and satisfying, provided you work hard. Top Colleges are:
Anna University, IIT Roorkee, VIT, Banaras Hindu University, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, Lovely Professional University, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, BITS, are the best colleges for bioengineering.

Biomedical Engineering (BME) is a developing field. In India, it is still at a very nascent stage. It has a lot of potential and Biomedical all together is a very vast field with several domains. So if you are good at even one, you can surely make tons of cash. Trust me, I always believe "It's better to be at the top in a mediocre field rather than being mediocre in a top field". But let me tell you the reality too, a lot of Biomedical Engineers in India end up with sales and service jobs, which are not highly paid to start with, but gradually the pay gets better. I have heard stories from a lot of friends in the field, they have had a
