Why Radiology Technician in Bengaluru?
Bengaluru’s hospital ecosystem, public and private, creates steady demand for X-ray, CT and MRI technologists. Major centres include Manipal Hospitals, Fortis Bannerghatta, Apollo (Bannerghatta and Jayanagar), Aster CMI and Aster RV, Sakra World Hospital, Narayana Health City, HCG, Ramaiah Memorial, St John’s, Victoria, Bowring and Kidwai. Training here usually includes hospital postings with high OPD and ER volumes, plus trauma, neuro and oncology exposure across Bannerghatta Road, Hebbal and Whitefield clusters. Namma Metro Purple and Green lines, new sections to Whitefield Kadugodi and Kengeri, and BMTC connectivity make rotations workable across central, east and south Bengaluru. Learners often start with X-ray or CT assistance, then specialise in CT or MRI, move into PACS or QA, or switch to application roles with vendors. Diagnostic networks such as Aarthi Scans, Clumax, Neuberg Anand, Aster Labs, SRL, Apollo Diagnostics and Prima Diagnostics add placement options close to home.

FAQs – Radiology Technician Courses in Bengaluru (2026)
Eligibility for BSc Medical Imaging Technology in Bengaluru (RGUHS)
RGUHS norms usually require two-year PUC (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English. Some colleges consider lateral entry rules for eligible diploma holders as per the current ordinance/prospectus. Always check the latest RGUHS/college prospectus before applying.
Entrance exam or counselling for BSc MIT in Bengaluru
Many admissions are merit-based for RGUHS-affiliated colleges. Some institutions may run their own test/interview and counselling. KEA and college notices can change the mode across sessions, so track official updates for your intake year.
Is distance or online radiology acceptable for Bengaluru hospitals
For X-ray and CT roles, employers typically expect full-time programmes with supervised clinical postings. Ionising imaging facilities operate under AERB oversight (via eLORA licensing), and training must include radiation safety + clinical competency. Pure distance-only formats usually don’t match hospital expectations for ionising modalities.
How to verify AERB eLORA compliance of a Bengaluru imaging site
Ask for the eLORA Licence for Operation for each X-ray/CT room and the approved Radiological Safety Officer (RSO) details. Request the eLORA Establishment ID for cross-checking with the provider/AERB helpdesk. Licence under AERB is mandatory before operation.
Does Karnataka registration matter for imaging jobs in Bengaluru
Diploma-level technologists may register with the Karnataka Para Medical Board (where applicable). In parallel, the state allied health council framework under the NCAHP Act is being operationalised. Employers may ask for registration depending on your qualification and the role.
Course duration and internship or OJT in Bengaluru
Diplomas often run 2–3 years (with internship) depending on entry qualification. B.Sc MIT is typically 3 academic years plus internship/structured clinical postings as per the university/teaching hospital. Ask for written rotation plans (DR/CT/MRI) before enrolling.
Stipend during training in Bengaluru hospitals
Stipends vary widely by institute, hospital policy, and programme. Always rely on the current official notice/offer letter for your batch, and clarify whether stipend is during internship only or throughout postings.
Will I get CT and MRI exposure in Bengaluru
Exposure depends on the institute’s clinical tie-ups and rotation plan. Ensure your offer/handbook mentions rotations and supervision across DR, CT and MRI (where offered). MRI is non-ionising, while X-ray/CT are ionising and come under AERB oversight at facilities.
When are Bengaluru intakes and how to track dates
University programmes often follow annual cycles; some private institutes run multiple batches. Track RGUHS/KEA and individual college pages for the latest counselling/intake updates for your year.
