The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiacode.nic.in\/bitstream\/123456789\/16824\/1\/A2021-14.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Act, 2021<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> describes an allied health professional in the same way: an associate, technician or technologist trained to perform technical and practical tasks that support diagnosis and treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guide explains what the term covers, which body regulates it, which courses fall under each category, how long they take and what careers follow. It is written for students who have finished or are finishing Class 12 and for parents who want a clear picture before choosing a course.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What Allied Health Sciences Means<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Act defines an allied health professional as someone with a diploma or degree of at least 2,000 hours, spread over two to four years in semesters. Their work supports the treatment plan that a doctor, nurse or other healthcare professional recommends. A lab technologist runs the tests, a radiology technologist takes the scans and a physiotherapist guides recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will often hear these courses called paramedical courses. Paramedical is the common name, while the Act uses the words allied and healthcare. Our guide to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apollohealthcareacademy.com\/blog\/paramedical-courses-after-12th-list-eligibility\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paramedical courses after 12th<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lists them with eligibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Who Regulates Allied Health Courses<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions (NCAHP) was set up under Act No. 14 of 2021. The Act has a Schedule that lists the recognised categories of allied and healthcare professions, and the professions that sit under each. You can read the Commission&#8217;s own notices on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ncahp.abdm.gov.in\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NCAHP website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Allied Health Sciences Courses by Category<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The table below follows the Schedule of the Act.

The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apollohealthcareacademy.com\/programs\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">programmes page<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lists all of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some universities use BSc Allied Health Sciences as the name of a group of courses. At the Academy each programme carries the name of its profession, such as B.MLS or B.MRIT, so you know exactly which career you are preparing for.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Allied Health Course Duration and Eligibility<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UGC notification lists these degrees as courses you join after 10+2. The durations in the table are four years for B.MLS, B.AOTT and B.MRIT, and five years for B.PT, B.OT and B.Optom. A master&#8217;s takes two years after the bachelor&#8217;s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subject requirements differ by course, so read the programme page before you apply. For example, the B.MRIT programme asks for 10+2 with Science.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is NEET Needed for Allied Health Sciences?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The NCAHP letter to UGC of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ncahp.abdm.gov.in\/Resources\/ImpLetters\/LetterUGC09Jan2026.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9 January 2026<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> names NEET only for B.PT and B.OT.

Lab science graduates work in hospital and diagnostic laboratories. Radiology and imaging graduates run scanners. Physiotherapists work in hospitals and rehabilitation. Optometrists work in eye care. Anaesthesia and operation theatre technologists work alongside surgical teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to go further, a master&#8217;s takes two years after the bachelor&#8217;s, and some graduates move into teaching or research. We give students job and placement support. It helps you prepare and connect with employers, but it does not guarantee a job.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Allied Health Sciences at Apollo Healthcare Academy<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Academy offers allied health degree programmes with hospital training, and our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/apollohealthcareacademy.com\/our-partner-universities\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">partner universities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> award the degree.
