SGT University Gurgaon M.Sc Medical Physiology: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. M.Sc. Medical Physiology is specifically designed for the medical college context, with a curriculum aligned to the physiology taught in MBBS programmes and clinical applications. It is offered under the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at an NMC-approved medical college, giving it a clinical orientation. A standard M.Sc. Physiology from a science college may have a more basic science focus. For a career as a Demonstrator or Tutor in the physiology department of a medical college, M.Sc. Medical Physiology from an NMC-approved institution is generally more relevant and preferred.

Ans. Yes, B.Sc. graduates in Life Sciences (including B.Sc. Zoology, Botany, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, or general Life Sciences) with a minimum of 55% marks are eligible to apply. The programme is not restricted to MBBS or other medical graduates. However, given the very small intake of 3 seats and the competitive personal interview process, candidates with a strong foundation in human physiology, biology, and related sciences will have an advantage. Candidates are advised to review the physiology syllabus and prepare accordingly for the interview.

Ans. The programme offers elective courses in Neurophysiology and Cardiopulmonary Physiology, allowing students to develop deeper expertise in these specific areas. Neurophysiology covers the study of the nervous system, brain function, and neural mechanisms, while Cardiopulmonary Physiology focuses on the integrated functioning of the heart and lungs. Students can also engage in research projects aligned with their chosen elective area under expert faculty supervision. These electives help students tailor their education to specific career goals in research, clinical physiology, or academia.

Ans. Graduates can pursue careers as Demonstrators or Tutors in physiology departments of medical and dental colleges, Research Scientists in biomedical and pharmaceutical research institutions, Clinical Research Associates in CROs and pharmaceutical companies, Biotech Specialists in life sciences companies, Medical Writers, and Health Consultants. With a PhD in Medical Physiology (also offered at SGT University), graduates can progress to Assistant Professor positions in medical colleges. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors in India and globally offer strong career opportunities for physiology postgraduates with research training.

Ans. M.Sc. Medical Physiology students at SGT University have access to state-of-the-art human performance labs, advanced physiological measurement equipment, and the research infrastructure of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. The 1000+ bed SGT Hospital on campus provides opportunities for patient-based physiological research and clinical data collection. Students work closely with expert faculty on research projects, and the small batch size of 3 students ensures dedicated lab time and personalised research supervision. The university also provides access to its library with 85,000+ books and 20,000+ e-books for academic research.

Ans. M.Sc. Medical Physiology from SGT University, being offered under an NMC-approved Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, is a recognised postgraduate degree. Graduates are eligible to apply for Demonstrator/Tutor positions in medical college physiology departments, research positions in government institutions (such as ICMR, CSIR, AIIMS), and can appear for UGC-NET in Life Sciences or relevant subjects to qualify for Assistant Professor positions. For government research positions, candidates may also need to qualify CSIR-NET or GATE (Life Sciences). The degree is also accepted for PhD programme admissions at SGT University and other universities.
