Should you pick M.Sc Nuclear Medicine Technology at MAHE?

This course suits students who hold an allied health degree and want to work with scanners or in radiation safety.

Pick it if:
You want hospital work with scanners: you train at Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, where the department has a PET-CT and a SPECT-CT scanner.
You want to become a Radiation Safety Officer later: the AERB approves this course, so you can take the AERB exam for that job after it.
You like research: the course has a one-year research project, and the department asks students to take part in conferences.
You want a department with a long record: it has taught nuclear medicine since 1985 and was the first private course of its kind in India.
Skip it if:
You have less than 50% in your degree: you cannot apply, because MAHE asks for at least 50% aggregate marks.
You plan to study on your own: you need 90% attendance to sit for the university exam, so you must attend almost every class.
You want to train in many city hospitals: Manipal is a small university town, so most of your clinical work happens at Kasturba Hospital.
You want to know the pay first: the average pay for this course is not published, so ask the department before you pay the fee.
Counsellor's advice
If you have an NMT or imaging degree with 50% or more, apply early and prepare for the MET. Pay the fee only after you read the refund dates.

FAQs on MAHE M.Sc NMT

Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.

Is M.Sc Nuclear Medicine Technology at MAHE worth the fee?▾
It is worth it if you want hospital work with scanners. The full fee without hostel is INR 6.22 Lakhs, and the course page states a 100% employment rate. MAHE does not publish the average pay, so ask the department about the jobs of the last batch before you pay.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most graduates work as nuclear medicine technologists in hospital PET-CT and gamma camera units. After the AERB exam, you can also work as a Radiation Safety Officer. Other roles are molecular imaging specialist, scientific officer and research fellow. Pick the course only if you like patient work with radiation and scanners.
Who should not take this course?▾
Skip it if your degree marks are below 50%, because you cannot apply. Also skip it if you want to study on your own, since you need 90% attendance to sit for the university exam. If you want training in many big city hospitals, note that most clinical work happens at Kasturba Hospital, Manipal.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, it suits a research path. The course has a one-year research project, and research methodology is taught first. Research Fellow is one of the roles the course page lists. If you plan a PhD, choose your project topic early and talk to your guide about it in the first year.
Should I take this course if my degree is in Medical Laboratory Technology?▾
Yes, you can apply. The rules accept a degree in Medical Laboratory Technology with 50% aggregate. The course has a lot of radiation physics and imaging, so revise basic physics before the MET. Use the checker above to confirm your degree and marks.
Is the town right for me if I want city life?▾
Probably not, if city life matters most to you. Manipal is a small university town, and most of your clinical work happens at Kasturba Hospital. If you want a quiet place to study and daily hospital work, it suits you well. Visit the campus before you pay the fee if you can.
Should I wait a year before I join?▾
Only if you need that year to finish your degree or to reach 50% aggregate. The 2027 form is expected to open in Oct 2026, and you also need a MET score. If you meet the rules now, apply in this cycle instead of losing a year.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Fill the online form on the MAHE admissions portal before the last date, which was 30 Apr in 2026. Then write the MET, wait for the merit list and pick the course in online counselling. You keep the seat only if you pay the first-year fee and report with your original mark sheets.
What is the full fee with hostel and mess?▾
The full 2-year fee is INR 6.22 Lakhs without hostel. With a non-AC double room and the mess, it comes to INR 9.04 Lakhs. You also pay a caution deposit of INR 10,000, which you get back when you leave. Use the toggle in the fee block to see both totals.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes, in a way. You pay the fee once a year, so it comes in two parts across the course. Each part is INR 3.11 Lakhs without hostel. If you need smaller parts, ask about an education loan; the fee block shows an EMI of about INR 10,487 a month.
Can I get a scholarship for this course?▾
Yes, but only a few students get one. The Scholar scholarship gives 20% of the fee to the top MET rank with 70% in the degree, and this course has one such seat. The SAGES and AGE schemes are only for degrees from Manipal group colleges. Use the calculator above to check your case.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. In 2026 the last date to withdraw without reporting was 2 Aug 2026. The caution deposit of INR 10,000 comes back when you leave. Read the MAHE refund rules on the fee page before you pay, so you know what you lose after that date.
