About BSc Allied Health Sciences
The Bachelor of Science in Allied Health Sciences (BSc Allied Health Sciences) is a 4-year undergraduate programme covering a range of clinical support disciplines including Medical Laboratory Technology, Physiotherapy, Radiological Technology, Operation Theatre Technology, Dialysis Technology, Cardiac Technology, and Nutrition and Dietetics. Allied health professionals are the backbone of modern hospital care and are increasingly recognised as essential healthcare practitioners in India.
Who Should Apply
Students from Class 12 with PCB who are interested in clinical healthcare but wish to specialise in diagnostic, rehabilitative, or therapeutic support roles rather than medicine or nursing should pursue BSc Allied Health Sciences. Candidates who enjoy science, technical precision, and patient support in a clinical environment will thrive in this programme.
What Will You Learn
Core subjects vary by specialisation but typically include human anatomy and physiology, pathology and microbiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, clinical laboratory skills (for MLT), diagnostic imaging and radiological safety (for Radiology), physiotherapy theory and practice (for PT), hospital operation theatre protocols (for OT Technology), nutrition assessment and therapeutic diets (for Nutrition), and supervised clinical internship in the final year.
Admission Process
Admission is through state-level paramedical or allied health entrance exams conducted by state health and medical education departments. Some private institutions admit on merit from Class 12 PCB marks. Candidates must have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology with minimum 45% marks.

With the expansion of CGHS, ESIC, and private hospital networks, demand for allied health graduates will grow substantially.
Q. Can allied health graduates work abroad? Yes. Medical laboratory technologists and radiographers from India are in demand in the Gulf (Saudi Arabia, UAE), UK, and Australia. Specific licensing exams may be required. Salaries abroad are significantly higher than in India.
Q. What is the difference between BSc Allied Health Sciences and BPT (Bachelor of Physiotherapy)? BPT is a 4.5-year dedicated physiotherapy programme with deeper clinical training.
