Is PGDMLT better than M.Sc. MLT? What should I choose after 12th in order to pursue this course later?

MLT stands for Medical Laboratory Technician. MLTs are a very important part of the healthcare team as they have to perform testing and provide results. A comparative analysis of the Postgraduate Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (PGDMLT) and Master of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology (M.Sc. MLT) is given below to guide you: Compared to M.Sc. MLT, which generally requires more than 50% in graduation for admission, PGDMLT requires only 40%. However, admission here is usually merit-based, unlike for M.Sc. MLT, which is not just merit-based but also entrance-based. Career opportunities after PGDMLT are lab technician, lab manager, lab analyst, lab supervisor, lab technologist, technical assistant, and medical record technician. After earning an M.Sc MLT, you can work as a laboratory manager, healthcare administrator, consultant, educational consultant, clinical laboratory supervisor, or hospital outreach coordinator. Because both of the courses are good and of a two-year duration, they are postgraduate courses. To pursue them, you need to do 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as the main subjects. Pursue a B.Sc. in Chemistry, Biology, Biotechnology, or Zoology or a Bachelor's degree in Medical Lab Technology and Related Streams with a minimum 40% mark.
