Yes. Currently my lab and BME dept. is cross-disciplinary. We seek motivated candidates from different departments such as Biomedical Engineering, Biotechnology, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Life Sciences, MBBS, Pharmacy, etc. You need to show your willingness to work in inter-disciplinary research and your interest in learning new stuff.
The current scenario to get Institute scholarship is highly competitive and very limited. Therefore, students with their own funding from CSIR-NET-JRF, UGC, DST-INSPIRE, DBT-JRF, PMRF, Industrial support, or other scholarships are encouraged to apply. However, all selected candidates need to perform equally well in front of the interview committee and show their willingness to work in an inter-disciplinary work atmosphere.
Being an inter-disciplinary dept., any person with a background of Biotechnology, Cell Science, Material Science is welcome to apply for this course. Additionally, students with a background in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemistry can apply to this lab or Biomedical Engineering dept., IIT Hyderabad, provided they adjust to an ongoing problem statement of any researcher.
