Infrastructure

Job potential, Specialization and the market trend, placement record in the area of specialization.

After the “Biomedical Signal Processing & Instrumentation” PG course, a bright career awaits the students at premier Industries & Multi-National Companies, as well in Ultramodern Hospitals, mushrooming all over the country,& there will be a very large demand for this discipline. Modern Biomedical industries / software companies /organizations like GE(Medical), Philips(Medical), Cerner, Siemens( Medical), Wipro (Medical), Cognizent Technologies, Larsen & Turbo (L&T), DEBEL(DRDO) & BIOCON etc., dealing in design and development of new medical equipments & software’s, prefer Biomedical Engineers & Technologists. A student can also pursue further Research in the field of Biomedical Signal & Image Processing, Biomedical Instrumentation, Bio-informatics and Bio-Mechanics, to name a few, both in India and abroad. Through this interdisciplinary course, knowledge to advance the technology and the significance of Bio-medical signal processing and Instrumentation will be delivered towards such goals that ultimately improve health and quality of life.

Placement

Our two students are placed in Cognizant Technologies, Bangalore and other students have joined educational Institutes for choosing their career as teaching and some of them have joined reputed hospitals as Biomedical Engineer. The students also carried their Internship at various Industries like GE, L & T, TCS, Mind Tree & other various companies.
