NEW DELHI: Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University has launched seven new paramedical and allied healthcare programmes for the 2026 academic session.
The university has started the online admission process for these programmes through its official admission portals, www.ipu.ac.in. Interested candidates can submit their application forms till May 31, 2026.
The newly introduced programmes aim to prepare students for specialised healthcare roles that are becoming increasingly important across hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centres, and public health systems.
Seven new courses
The application fee has been fixed at Rs 2,500 for each programme. Students applying for more than one course will have to pay the application fee separately for every programme.
Healthcare experts believe that fields such as emergency trauma care, behavioural healthcare, speech therapy, rehabilitation sciences, and epidemiology are becoming highly important due to changing healthcare needs.
Courses like Emergency Medical and Trauma Technology are expected to train students in trauma response and emergency healthcare systems. Similarly, Clinical Psychology and Rehabilitation Psychology programmes will focus on mental health support and behavioural healthcare training.
The Epidemic Intelligence Service and Applied Epidemiology programme is also likely to help students understand disease surveillance, outbreak investigation, and public health response systems. Meanwhile, Bachelor of Optometry and MSc Speech Language Pathology programmes are expected to support growing demand in vision care and communication disorder treatment services.
