Final selection is based on the CARE entrance test and personal interview.
Ques. What is the admission process for M.Sc Echocardiography at CARE?
Ans. Admission is through CARE’s own entrance test and personal interview. Candidates apply through the CARE portal at admission.care.edu.in, appear for the written test, and attend a personal interview. No national-level exam is required.

Ques. What career opportunities are available after M.Sc Echocardiography from CARE?
Ans. Graduates can work as cardiac sonographers and echocardiography technologists in cardiology departments of hospitals, cardiac catheterisation laboratories, cardiac rehabilitation centres, and cardiac diagnostics clinics. The specialisation has growing demand at the national and international levels, particularly in the Middle East, the UK, and the USA, where trained echocardiographers are in short supply relative to demand.
Ques. What is the advantage of studying M.Sc Echocardiography at a hospital-integrated campus?
Ans. CARE’s Kelambakkam campus is part of Chettinad Health City, which houses Chettinad Hospital, a multi-specialty tertiary care facility. This integration provides students with direct access to clinical cardiac imaging departments for practical training and case exposure during the programme. Studying within a functioning hospital environment bridges the gap between classroom learning and real-world clinical practice more effectively than standalone campus settings.
