If you dream of building a career in the #Healthcare or #Paramedical sector, this article is crucial for you.
In India, several startups, private universities, and companies are selling BVoc (Bachelor of Vocation) paramedical degrees without any proper regulations. Thousands of students fall into this trap, putting their careers and future at risk.
❌ The Bitter Truth About BVoc Paramedical Degrees
BVoc and similar vocational degrees are being falsely promoted, but the reality is:
🔴 No License, No Career – BVoc degree holders cannot register as paramedical professionals in government or private hospitals.
🔴 False Promises and High Fees – Startups and private institutions charge lakhs in fees, yet students struggle to find jobs.
🔴 Marketing Gimmicks & Deception – Misleading slogans like “Didn’t clear NEET? No problem, become a healthcare professional!” are being used to trap students.
🔴 No Government Recognition, No Future Guarantee – In India, the National Commission for Allied & Healthcare Professionals (NCAHP) issues licenses, but vocational degree holders are not eligible for one.
⚠️ Major Cases of Fraud
📌 Legal Cases Against Universities & Companies:
A prestigious university issued paramedical vocational degrees to 400-500 students 4-5 years ago, but none of them secured jobs in recognized hospitals. The matter is still in court!
📌 VIVO Healthcare Scam:
A few years ago, VIVO Healthcare ran large-scale advertisements, even featuring on front pages of newspapers. However, it was just a skill certificate with no real job value in the market. The company later shut down.
📌 Failure of 1-Year Degrees Under HSSC:
Some 1-year courses (e.g., OT Technician, X-ray Technician) offered under the Health Sector Skill Council (HSSC) were marketed to students. Later, they were not recognized, and these courses were discontinued.
💰 Even Big Investors Are Trapped!
Major investors are pouring money into this sector without proper knowledge, not realizing that these degrees are legally worthless.
❌ BVoc Paramedical Graduates Will NOT Get a License!
I personally discussed this with NCAHP, and they clearly stated that vocational paramedical graduates will not be granted licenses. Yet, many institutions are making students sign undertakings acknowledging this and still charging lakhs in fees.
🚨 Key Legal Regulations
The National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions Act, 2021 was established to regulate and maintain education & service standards for allied and healthcare professionals in India. It recognizes 10 legitimate categories of healthcare professionals, including:
1️⃣ Medical Laboratory & Life Sciences Professionals
2️⃣ Trauma, Burn Care & Surgical/Anesthesia Technicians
3️⃣ Physiotherapy Professionals
4️⃣ Nutrition Science Professionals
5️⃣ Ophthalmic Sciences Professionals
6️⃣ Occupational Therapy Professionals
7️⃣ Community Care & Behavioral Health Science Professionals
8️⃣ Medical Radiology, Imaging & Therapeutic Technology Professionals
9️⃣ Medical Technologists & Physician Associates
🔟 Health Information Management & Informatics Professionals
This act ensures standardization and quality in allied healthcare education and services.
🚨 What Will Happen Next?
👉 No jobs in NABH-accredited or recognized hospitals.
👉 No opportunities for employment abroad.
👉 Students and their families face severe financial distress.
👉 Universities and startups keep making money while students’ futures are ruined.
🔥 Playing With Students’ Careers = A Crime!
This is not just a scam – it is the destruction of thousands of students’ and their families’ dreams! Students are being misled, their future is at stake, and no one is held accountable.
