Course Overview

The B.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) is a specialized undergraduate program designed for students who have completed their II PUC / 12th Std / +2 in the Science stream. This course is the gateway for those who wish to build a career in diagnostic healthcare—where accurate test results form the foundation of effective treatment.

Spanning 3 years of academic study followed by 1 year of compulsory clinical internship, this program trains students to perform diagnostic tests, analyze samples, operate laboratory instruments, and ensure the smooth functioning of medical labs in hospitals, clinics, and research centers.

Medical Laboratory Technology is often called the “backbone of healthcare”, as it provides critical information that helps doctors diagnose and treat diseases. With healthcare expanding rapidly in India and abroad, the demand for skilled medical laboratory technologists is higher than ever.

Students pursuing this program gain:

  • Comprehensive knowledge in biochemistry, microbiology, pathology, and immunology.
  • Practical experience through internships in reputed diagnostic labs and hospitals.
  • Hands-on training with the latest diagnostic tools and laboratory equipment.
  • Career flexibility, with opportunities in hospitals, independent diagnostic centers, pharmaceutical companies, and research organizations.

Choosing B.Sc. MLT is ideal for students passionate about healthcare but who prefer working in a lab-based, technology-driven environment rather than direct patient care.
