The verdict
Worth considering
This is a focused specialization track if you are genuinely into diagnostics and research. That said, the 55% placement rate and an average CTC of ₹4 LPA basically equal the total fee outlay, so immediate ROI is moderate. Treat it as a stepping stone into clinical research or higher studies rather than a quick salary leap.
