Programme Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Radiology and Imaging Technology (B.Sc. RIT) is a competency-based undergraduate program

The program aims to develop clinically competent, ethically responsible, and professionally skilled radiology technologists capable of supporting diagnostic and interventional imaging services across diverse healthcare settings.

The curriculum integrates foundational biomedical sciences, radiological physics, imaging technology, patient care, radiation safety, and extensive clinical training.
Students receive hands-on exposure to modern imaging modalities such as X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound, Mammography, and Interventional Radiology, with strong emphasis on patient safety, quality assurance, and professional ethics.

Structured as a three-year academic program with a compulsory internship, the course follows a competency-based education model, ensuring graduates acquire the required knowledge, practical skills, professional attitudes, and ethical values as prescribed by national regulatory standards.

On successful completion, graduates are eligible for registration under the National/State Allied and Healthcare Professions Council and are well prepared for employment, higher education, research, and professional growth in the field of medical imaging.
