Hi Nidhi,
Selecting a course is depends on your personal preference and liking.
Medical Laboratory Technology a.k.a clinical laboratory science helps diagnose, treat and prevent disease through clinical laboratory tests. It is complementary to medical science. It involves analysis of body matter such as fluid, tissue, and blood. It also covers micro-organism screening, chemical analyses, and cell count. These professionals, Technicians and Technologists, play an important role in collecting information, sampling, testing, reporting and documenting medical investigations.
Medical Technologist work covers areas such as:

Hi Nidhi,

It involves analysis of body matter such as fluid, tissue, and blood. It also covers micro-organism screening, chemical analyses, and cell count. These professionals, Technicians and Technologists, play an important role in collecting information, sampling, testing, reporting and documenting medical investigations.
Medical Technologist work covers areas such as:
Blood bankingClinical Chemistry (chemical analysis of body fluids)Haematology (blood related)Immunology (study of immune system) Microbiology (study of bacteria and other disease organisms) Cytotechnology (study of human tissue)PhlebotomyUrine analysisCoagulationParasitology Blood Sample MatchingDrug Efficacy TestsSerology
Technologists may also conduct research supervised by medical researchers.They are responsible for maintaining report accuracy, conducting complex tests, and generally have more training than a medical laboratory technician, who performs routine testing under stipulated conditions.Technicians may help by preparing specimens and operating automated sample analysing machines, set up testing equipment, keep the lab clean, maintain tools and conditions etc.
The graduates after their completion of Bachelor of Science programme in MLT have huge scope of securing a career in various fields. A talented MLT graduate can earn a challenging profession in any of the public or private sector hospitals, blood donor centres, emergency centres, laboratories, and so on.
