Courses
Bachelor of Radiotherapy Technology (B.RTT)
Course Description
Bachelor of Radiotherapy Technology (B.RTT) is a four-year programme that prepares students to assist in the planning and delivery of radiation therapy for cancer patients. The curriculum includes radiation physics, radiobiology, anatomy, oncology basics, treatment planning, linear accelerator operation, brachytherapy support, simulation, dosimetry concepts, patient positioning, immobilisation, radiation safety, quality assurance, and psychosocial patient care. Students learn to work closely with radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and nursing teams to ensure safe and accurate cancer treatment.
Internships
Students complete supervised training in radiotherapy departments, linear accelerator units, brachytherapy suites, treatment-planning sections, simulation rooms, and cancer hospitals. Internship activities include patient positioning, immobilisation-device use, treatment-plan verification, machine operation support, quality-assurance documentation, radiation-safety monitoring, and patient counselling. Students gain exposure to modern cancer-care workflows and multidisciplinary oncology teams.
Jobs / Scope in Government & Law Enforcement
Graduates can apply for radiotherapy technologist, radiation therapy technician, and radiation-safety assistant posts in government cancer hospitals, regional cancer centres, medical colleges, and state health departments. Opportunities may also exist in nuclear medicine facilities, radiation-safety units, and regulatory or research institutions handling ionising radiation. The role supports national cancer-control programmes and public-sector oncology services.
Jobs / Scope in Healthcare & Hospitals
B.RTT graduates work as radiotherapy technologists, radiation therapy technologists, brachytherapy technologists, treatment-planning assistants, quality-assurance technicians, and patient-care coordinators in oncology centres. Employers include cancer hospitals, tertiary-care hospitals, radiation-oncology departments, research institutes, and medical-device companies.
Career Prospects
Graduates can progress to senior radiotherapy technologist, chief radiation technologist, quality-assurance officer, clinical trainer, or radiation-safety coordinator. Higher study options include M.RTT, M.Sc. Medical Physics, radiation safety, oncology technology, and hospital administration. Increasing cancer incidence and expansion of radiotherapy infrastructure create strong demand for qualified radiotherapy professionals.
