Orientation and Pedagogy

Teaching in the Master of Medical Radiology & Imaging Technology (MMRIT) programme is structured to develop advanced theoretical knowledge, specialized clinical expertise, research competence, and professional leadership required in modern diagnostic and interventional imaging services. The programme follows the competency-based framework recommended by the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP), integrating higher-level academic learning with intensive clinical and research exposure.

Orientation

At the commencement of the programme, postgraduate students undergo a comprehensive orientation designed to transition them from undergraduate-level practice to advanced professional responsibilities. The orientation includes:

  • Advanced scope and expanded responsibilities of a postgraduate imaging technologist
  • Role in multidisciplinary healthcare teams and interdepartmental coordination
  • Advanced radiation safety standards and regulatory compliance
  • Ethical frameworks, medico-legal responsibilities, and documentation standards
  • Research expectations, dissertation guidelines, and academic protocols
  • Institutional policies, hospital workflow, and quality assurance systems

This structured orientation prepares students for safe, ethical, research-oriented, and leadership-driven professional practice in advanced imaging environments.

  • Undergone satisfactorily the approved program of study in the course/courses for the prescribed duration
  • 80% attendance separately in theory and in practical/hospital postings, in each course
  • Shall have the minimum attendance requirement in all courses of that semester for the first appearance
  • Secure at least 40% of total marks fixed for CIE in a particular course
  • Fulfil any other requirement that may be prescribed by the University from time to time
  • The End Semester Examination will consist of Theory examination for all courses and in addition, Practical examination for specified courses.
  • Theory examination:
    • Written tests with question types, pattern, duration and weightage as specified in the course-wise curricula
    • Setting of question papers and evaluation of answer scripts as per University regulations
  • Practical examination:
