SIMSRC B.Sc FAQs
Ques. How does the 80/20 management-to-government quota split work for SIMSRC B.Sc AHS admissions?
Ans. At SIMSRC Bangalore, approximately 20% of B.Sc AHS seats fall under the Karnataka government quota and are allocated through KEA centralised counselling based on 10+2 merit in PCB subjects. The remaining 80% are management-quota seats filled directly by SIMSRC through merit-based selection. Both pathways require the same eligibility criteria: 10+2 with PCB and minimum 45% marks. Candidates can explore both routes simultaneously.
Ques. Are SIMSRC B.Sc AHS degrees recognised for employment in other Indian states?
Ans. RGUHS is a UGC-recognised university and B.Sc AHS degrees from RGUHS-affiliated institutions like SIMSRC are generally accepted across India for hospital employment. State-regulated practice in some allied health disciplines may require registration with the respective state health board. Confirm recognition with the target employer or state health authority before applying for positions outside Karnataka.
Ques. What is the career difference between B.Sc Perfusion Technology and B.Sc Cardiac Care Technology?
Ans. Cardiac Care Technology focuses on ECG, cardiac monitoring, stress tests, and catheterisation lab support in cardiac units. Perfusion Technology involves operating heart-lung bypass machines during open-heart surgeries and is a more specialised role with fewer practitioners in India. Perfusion technologists typically work only in hospitals with cardiac surgery programmes, making this a niche but high-demand specialization. Both are offered as 3-year RGUHS programmes at SIMSRC.
Ques. Can SIMSRC B.Sc Optometry graduates practise independently in India after graduation?
Ans. B.Sc Optometry graduates from SIMSRC can work in hospital ophthalmology departments, optical clinics, and vision diagnostic centres. Dispensing glasses and contact lenses is generally permitted independently. Clinical diagnosis and prescription typically require working under an ophthalmologist under current Indian regulations. Graduates can also pursue M.Sc Optometry or fellowship programmes for further specialization and expanded practice scope.
Ques. Is there a specific entrance exam required for B.Sc AHS admission at SIMSRC or is it purely merit-based?
Ans. No national entrance exam like NEET is required for B.Sc AHS programmes at SIMSRC. Admission is based on 10+2 marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Government-quota seats go through KEA merit-based counselling with the 2026 merit list expected in July 2026. Management-quota seats are filled directly by SIMSRC from August 2026. Confirm the latest admission process with the SIMSRC admissions office for 2026-27.
