BSc cardiac technology salary in India depends on the employer, the post and the years of experience it asks for. In AIIMS Bathinda’s 2024 contract notice, cath lab and ECG posts that accept a B.Sc in Cardiac Technology paid \u20b953,100 to \u20b967,350 a month, but they asked for 2 to 4 years of experience. Private hospitals report lower pay: about \u20b92.9 to \u20b93.9 lakh a year (roughly \u20b924,000 to \u20b932,500 a month) for cardiac, cath lab, echo and cardiovascular technologist roles, with up to about 9 years of experience. This guide shows both sets of figures with their sources and dates, how pay grows, the jobs the degree leads to, and what to weigh before you choose the course.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

What BSc Cardiac Technology Leads To<\/b><\/h2>\n

The degree trains you to run and support heart tests and procedures: ECG, echocardiography, cath lab work and cardiac monitoring. Universities use different names for closely related degrees, such as BSc Cardiac Technology, BSc Cardiovascular Technology and BSc Cardiac Care Technology, so compare the syllabus and not the label. The programme we deliver with our partner universities is called the Bachelor of Cardiovascular Technology (B.CVT).<\/span><\/p>\n

BSc Cardiac Technology Salary in Government Hospitals: What the Notices Show<\/b><\/h2>\n

The clearest government figures come from contract notices that name the degree. AIIMS Bathinda’s advertisement of <\/span>6 September 2024<\/span><\/a> accepts a B.Sc in Cardiac Technology for these posts, each paid one fixed monthly amount:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Post<\/strong><\/th>\nPay a month<\/strong><\/th>\nQualification asked<\/strong><\/th>\nExperience asked<\/strong><\/th>\nNotice<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Senior Cath Lab Technician<\/span><\/td>\n\u20b950,000<\/span><\/td>\nDiploma in cath lab<\/span><\/td>\n4 years<\/span><\/td>\nAIIMS Raipur, 2 Sept 2023<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Three things matter when you read this table. These are fixed-term contract posts, not regular government jobs. They ask for experience, so they are not a first-job salary. And the diploma is also a route: the Bathinda notice accepts a 2-year diploma as an alternative to the B.Sc, and the Raipur notice asks for a diploma only.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regular government posts follow the central pay matrix, where the pay level belongs to the post. AIIMS Bathinda’s <\/span>April 2024 notice<\/span><\/a> for a Senior Perfusionist, a cardiac surgery role, lists Level 7 with basic pay of \u20b944,900 to \u20b91,42,400. That post is filled by deputation from existing government staff, so a new graduate cannot apply for it directly. Notices for regular cath lab and ECG posts give their own level, so read the level in the notice for the post you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

BSc Cardiac Technology Salary in Private Hospitals<\/b><\/h2>\n

Private hospitals do not publish pay bands, so these figures are what employees report, not an offer. They come from AmbitionBox, a salary-sharing site, which shows a typical range for each role built from submitted salaries. All were read on 10 November 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Perfusionist is a separate specialisation, a heart-lung machine role in cardiac surgery, that usually needs its own perfusion training, so it is a pointer for later and not a first job after this degree. Monthly figures are the yearly range divided by twelve and rounded, before tax and any fixed or variable split. Some pages quote \u20b98 to \u20b912 lakh for senior roles without a source or date. This guide does not use them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cath Lab Technician Salary by Experience<\/b><\/h2>\n

Cath lab technician salary is the one cardiac role with enough reports to split by years of experience:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Experience<\/span><\/th>\nTypical range a year<\/span><\/th>\nRoughly a month<\/span><\/th>\nSalaries counted<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
1 to 3 years<\/span><\/td>\n\u20b92.9 to \u20b93.2 lakh<\/span><\/td>\n\u20b924,000 to \u20b926,500<\/span><\/td>\n478<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3 to 6 years<\/span><\/td>\n\u20b93.7 to \u20b94.1 lakh<\/span><\/td>\n\u20b931,000 to \u20b934,000<\/span><\/td>\n450<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
6 to 9 years<\/span><\/td>\n\u20b94.5 to \u20b94.9 lakh<\/span><\/td>\n\u20b937,500 to \u20b941,000<\/span><\/td>\n183<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The 9 to 12 year band had only 19 reports, too few to read. In this data the typical range rises by about \u20b90.8 lakh a year with each step of three years, so the 6-to-9 year band sits about \u20b91.6 lakh a year above the 1-to-3 year band. The contract notices above pay more than these private ranges at 2 to 4 years of experience, but they are single fixed-term vacancies.<\/span><\/p>\n

How BSc Cardiac Technology Pay Grows<\/b><\/h2>\n

Experience moves pay more than the job title does. In the cath lab data, each step of three years adds roughly the same amount. The programme page for the B.CVT at Apollo Healthcare Academy lists a career ladder from Junior Cardiovascular Technologist (0 to 2 years) through Senior Cardiac Care Associate (3 to 5 years) and Cath Lab Specialist or Cardiac Diagnostics Supervisor (5 to 8 years) to Cardiovascular Services Manager (8 or more years). It gives no pay for these titles, and no source does, so treat the ladder as a path and not a pay scale.<\/span><\/p>\n

Further study is another route. A master’s in cardiovascular technology builds on the bachelor’s degree. The senior posts in the notices above ask for 4 or 5 years of experience, which is why time in the cath lab counts.<\/span><\/p>\n

The last four roles come from the career tracks on the B.CVT programme page. The first two are the posts named in the AIIMS notices above. For the course side, read our guide to the <\/span>cardiac technician course<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Weigh the Cost Against the Pay<\/b><\/h2>\n

The B.CVT tuition fee is \u20b92.5 lakh a year, about \u20b910 lakh over four years before any scholarship. Merit scholarships of 10% to 25% are available under the slabs on the scholarship page. Against that, early private pay for cardiac roles is about \u20b92.9 to \u20b93.2 lakh a year in the cath lab data. A diploma costs less and the AIIMS notices above accept it, so the degree makes the most sense if you want the longer clinical training, further study such as a master’s, or a university degree. Compare fees, scholarship and hospital training for each option before you decide.<\/span><\/p>\n

BSc Cardiac Technology at Apollo Healthcare Academy<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Bachelor of Cardiovascular Technology (B.CVT) at Apollo Healthcare Academy is a four-year undergraduate programme for students with 10+2 in Science, with an internship included. Students train through clinical rotations in electrophysiology labs and cardiac care units in Apollo hospitals and prepare for BLS and ACLS certification during the programme. Our <\/span>partner universities<\/span><\/a> award the degrees, and training takes place with our <\/span>partner hospitals<\/span><\/a>. See the <\/span>Bachelor of Cardiovascular Technology programme page<\/span><\/a> for the syllabus. 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
