The rapid advancements in technology and digitalization have greatly enhanced the capabilities of laboratory instruments and techniques. The Department of Paramedical and Health Sciences offers a three-year Bachelor’s program in Medical Laboratory Technology, focusing on the scientific approaches used for diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases through laboratory tests.
Medical Laboratory Technologists are integral to healthcare teams, using advanced laboratory equipment to conduct tests that inform medical treatment and scientific research. The program provides students with hands-on training in modern laboratories and research facilities, allowing them to gain practical experience. Students acquire a deep understanding of biological materials such as blood, tissue, and body fluids, which serves as the foundation for preparing solutions, collecting samples, analyzing cells, interpreting results, and drawing conclusions. Faculty members play a key role in honing students' skills, preparing them to apply both basic and advanced knowledge in clinical diagnostics and laboratory practices for their future careers.
B.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Technology
Graduates from the B.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Technology program can pursue various career paths, including:
Candidates must have successfully completed their 10+2 or an equivalent examination from a recognized educational board, with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics as core subjects at the intermediate level.
A minimum of 50% marks in 10+2 is required for eligibility to secure admission into this degree program.
Selection will be based on merit of Class XII Best of 3 subjects score (comprising of Physics, Chemistry and Biology as compulsory subjects and any other subject with highest score)
Note: subject should not be vocational- Music, Dance, Painting, Home Science, Arts, etc.
MLTs wear personal protective equipment daily to protect themselves from biohazardous materials they work with such as blood, urine, feces and cerebral spinal fluid. MLTs are very aware of the biohazard materials they work with and take steps to reduce infecting workspaces and others.
MLTs will prepare samples such as blood, bodily fluids and tissues for diagnostic testing.
MLTs analyze samples using sophisticated technology, instruments and computers, as well as perform manual techniques to obtain patient results.
Yes. MLTs require physical dexterity (especially hand dexterity) to perform manual techniques and invasive procedures.
MLTs frequently perform multiple procedures simultaneously which requires strong organizational skills and effective time management. MLTs also have strong skills in math, organization, adaptability and communication while maintaining meticulous attention to detail and high standards.
MLTs must make critical decisions when evaluating analytical results for accuracy and validity. Additionally, they must correlate the results to clinical states prior to releasing test information to physicians. Physicians rely on the laboratory results to diagnose, treat, monitor and prevent disease.
