Medical Electronics

What is this course?
Medical Electronics is an allied course that gets up on board the medical profession. This is one of the few areas where you will be working in the medical field and be an engineer at the same time. A medical electronics professional will design and develop devices to be used by doctors and hospitals. Hospitals are now packed with hi-tech equipment but lacks trained manpower to maintain them. A professional would be needed to take control of those equipment -- that would be a medical electronics engineer. 
Eligibility - For admission into bachelor's degree a student must have passed 10+2 exam with biology, chemistry and physics. For entrance into most colleges, a student will also have to appear for a competitive entrance exam. The tenure of the course is 4 years. The course is affiliated to Visvesvaraya Technological University - a government university. A student can sit for COMED-K examination for a seat in the subject or can go through the direct admission route.
