The requirements for admission into a BSc in Medical Laboratory Technology (BSc MLT) program differ from one university to another and between different countries. Some institutes would require students to take some entrance exams such as NEET, CUET, or state/university-specific tests. Other institutes take students based on merit; specially, marks obtained in the 12th grade. Private universities tend to have their own entrance tests or specific interviews for selection purposes.
Common eligibility criteria involve the successful completion of 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) and minimum aggregate percentage (typically 45-60% but it varies from one institute to another). Entrance tests focus mainly on students’ understanding of science subjects and their capability in laboratory sciences. Admissions without entrance examinations are merit based where higher marks in PCB subjects improve chances of selection. Prospective students need to visit the university internet sites for current admission criteria, timelines, and exam information. There are also scholarships and reservations for certain categories such as SC/ST/OBC which can also affect the admissions process.
