Market Opportunity

Healthcare is recession-proof. Hospitals do not shut down — they expand. Every Tier-2 and Tier-3 city in India is adding new beds, and trained BSc RTT professionals are in short supply everywhere.

  • India needs 1 LINAC per 1M people — currently has 1 per 3.5M
  • 1,500+ new LINACs to be installed in India by 2030
  • Cancer incidence rising 12.8% per year — ICMR data
  • Most acute shortage in any allied-health speciality — 80%+ unfilled positions

Real career scenarios

The new oncology centre

Tata Trust, HCG, Apollo and Manipal are opening oncology centres in every Tier-2 city. Each centre needs 4–6 RTTs — and they cannot find them.

The Gulf oncology career

RTT-trained graduates are flown to Riyadh, Dubai and Singapore at packages 6–8× their Indian starting salary.

Medical-physics path

After 5 years, RTTs can pursue MSc Medical Physics and become Treatment Planners — ₹15–25 LPA inside India itself.
