BACHELOR OF RADIATION THERAPY TECHNOLOGY (B.RTT)

Upon successful completion of the programme, students will be able to:

• Work effectively as competent members of the radiation oncology team alongside oncologists, medical physicists, and other healthcare professionals in delivering prescribed radiation therapy.
• Apply comprehensive knowledge of radiation physics, anatomy, physiology, dosimetry, clinical oncology, and radiation safety in clinical practice.
• Perform and assist in the administration of prescribed radiation treatments with accuracy, ensuring patient safety and adherence to established protocols.
• Provide holistic patient care, including patient preparation, support, and monitoring during radiotherapy procedures.
• Demonstrate skills in management, coordination, and workflow within radiotherapy departments.
• Adhere to regulatory requirements and obtain professional registration with organizations such as the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) or other statutory bodies, maintaining professional standards through periodic renewal.
• Exhibit commitment to lifelong learning by engaging in continuous professional development and upgrading skills in line with advancements in radiation therapy technologies.
• Explore diverse career opportunities in public and private hospitals, cancer treatment centers, and specialized oncology facilities.
• Demonstrate professionalism, ethical practice, and responsibility in delivering safe, effective, and patient-centered radiation therapy services.

At the commencement of the programme, students undergo a structured orientation that prepares them for professional training and clinical responsibilities. The orientation includes:

• Understanding the role and responsibilities of a Radiation Therapy Technologist
• Introduction to radiotherapy departments and multidisciplinary oncology teamwork
• Basics of radiation safety, patient protection, and regulatory compliance
• Professional ethics, patient confidentiality, and legal responsibilities
• Communication skills and compassionate patient care
• Institutional policies, academic regulations, and clinical protocols

This orientation ensures that students are well-prepared for safe, ethical, and effective participation in clinical environments.

The programme adopts a blended and progressive teaching–learning approach to ensure competency development:

• Classroom Learning:
  Students gain foundational knowledge through lectures, discussions, audio-visual aids, and case-based teaching in subjects such as radiation physics, radiobiology, anatomy, and oncology.
• Skill-Based & Simulation Training:
  Students practice patient positioning, equipment handling (LINAC, simulators), radiation safety measures, and treatment setup procedures in controlled environments before clinical exposure.
• Clinical Training:
  Structured hospital postings provide hands-on training in radiotherapy procedures including treatment planning, machine operation, patient setup, and quality assurance under expert supervision.
• Case-Based & Problem-Based Learning:
  Learning is enhanced through case discussions, treatment planning exercises, error analysis, and clinical scenario-based learning to strengthen decision-making skills.
• Research & Professional Development:
  Students are introduced to research methodology, seminars, and advancements in radiotherapy technologies, promoting analytical thinking and lifelong learning.
• Internship:
  A compulsory rotatory internship provides intensive practical exposure across radiotherapy units, ensuring readiness for independent professional practice.

Overall, the orientation and pedagogy are designed to produce skilled, ethical, and competent radiation therapy technologists capable of delivering precise treatment and high-quality patient care in oncology settings.

Students will be evaluated throughout the four years of the programme by periodic tests as well as assignments. Consideration will be given for the student's contribution to classroom discussions, written reports, reading and other assignments. The evaluation of the student's performance is done by means of continuous on-going internal evaluations as well as at the end of each semester external examination will be conducted by SIU.

The evaluation will have both internal & external components. The internal component will be continuous throughout the semester & external component will be conducted by the university at the end of the semester. A student would be required to pass in each head (internal and external) independently. Students would be assessed according to the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) system.

Students would be awarded the Grade Point Average where grades would be awarded based on the class average. A student would be required to perform consistently well.

The Bachelor of Radiation Therapy Technology programme will have a total of 144 credits in 4 years. Each credit is defined as 15 hours of teaching (Lecture or Lecture demonstration) or 30 hours of supervised practicals. Each credit is assessed for 25 Marks. For all external courses internal assessment will be of 40% and external assessment will be of 60%. Practicals will be 100% external. Internal courses will be evaluated 100% internally by the institute

All internal courses will have 100% component as continuous internal evaluation at the institute level. All external courses will have 40% internal component and 60% external component [University] examination.

The assessment of the student for each examination is done, based on relative performance. Maximum Grade Point (GP) is 10 corresponding to O (Outstanding). For all courses, a student is required to pass both internal and external examination separately with a minimum Grade Point of 4 corresponding to Grade P. Students securing less than 40% absolute marks in each head of passing will be declared FAIL. The University awards a degree to the student who has achieved a minimum CGPA of 4 out of maximum of 10 CGPA for the program.
