B.Sc Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) is a three-year undergraduate program focused on training students to work with laboratory equipment and techniques used in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. The program provides a comprehensive understanding of how medical laboratory tests are conducted, and how these tests play a critical role in determining the health status of individuals.

Students are trained in areas such as clinical biochemistry, microbiology, hematology, immunology, blood banking, and molecular biology. They also learn to handle sophisticated diagnostic instruments, prepare specimens for analysis, conduct tests, and interpret the results. Practical exposure through internships and clinical training in hospitals, diagnostic centers, and research institutions allows students to gain hands-on experience in real-world settings.

Admissions to B.Sc MLT programs are usually based on merit or entrance exams, and candidates need to have completed 12th grade with biology, chemistry, and physics.

Graduates of B.Sc MLT can work in a wide range of healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, research labs, blood banks, and diagnostic centers. They are trained to perform a variety of diagnostic tests, including blood tests, urinalysis, microbiological cultures, immunological tests, and more. MLT professionals also play an important role in research, quality control, and the development of new diagnostic techniques. Further studies in medical laboratory technology, clinical research, and biotechnology are also common pathways for career advancement.
