The Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc) in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) has a three-year theoretical and practical course which educates students in diagnostic laboratory sciences. Eligible candidates who wish to apply must complete their 10+2 studies from a recognized educational institution and their course should comprise Physics along with Chemistry and Biology and Mathematics. The minimum entry level at most institutions is 50% but fixed state policies extend different criteria to reserved category candidates. Various academic institutions prefer to evaluate potential candidates on the basis of entrance examinations along with individual interviews while inducting fresh students.
Aspirants to study B.Voc in Medical Laboratory Technology require good academic credentials as well as real interest in laboratory procedures and medical diagnostic tests and scientific know-how. With a mix of theoretical and practical components the program directs students towards professional work opportunities in pathology laboratories and medical centers as well as research institutions. Students holding an approved diploma in MLT may enter the second year of some universities through their lateral entry program. Enrolling in B.Voc programs provides students with hands-on experience through internship along with employment-focused training in healthcare diagnostic streams to make them employable in diagnostic laboratories.
