Want a hospital career without a long degree? The BSS Diploma in ECG Technician at AIPS (Assam Institute for Paramedical Studies) can be a good start. It is a 1-year course for students who have passed 12th in any stream.

You will learn how the heart works. You will learn to record a 12-lead ECG, help with Holter and TMT tests, and handle basic cardiac emergencies. You will practise on real ECG machines in our lab and in hospital cardiology postings.

Admission 2026–27 is open.

What is the BSS Diploma in ECG Technician?

An ECG (electrocardiogram) is a simple test that records the electrical signals of the heart. Doctors use it to check heart rate and rhythm and to spot heart problems early.

An ECG Technician runs this test. The technician prepares the patient, places the electrodes, operates the ECG machine and records the result. The doctor then reads and explains the report.

This diploma trains you for that work. The course follows the Bharat Sevak Samaj (BSS) pattern. BSS is a national development agency set up in 1952 under the Planning Commission of the Government of India. It runs vocational and skill programmes through partner institutes.
