Hi Priyanshu, You should definitely consider enhancing your educational qualifications at this stage.

The medical lab technician profession includes generalists as well as individuals qualified in a number of specialized areas of expertise including microbiology/virology, hematology, immunology, transfusion medicine, clinical chemistry, endocrinology, toxicology, cytogenetics, pathology and molecular diagnostics. Integral features of each of the specialties may include research, consultation, education, information management, marketing and administration.After your B.sc you can go in for M.Sc MLT which would be the direct progression.You could also go in for M.Sc microbiology, bioinformatics etc. You could also opt for clinical research training through courses offered by various institutes (icriindia.com, cliniminds.com, Academy for clinical excellence), which will equip you for a career in clinical trials/clinical research.You can also go in for the MS-MLT — Master of Science in Medical Laboratory Technology is a three-year special programme offered by BITS (Pilani) as an off-campus course for eligible graduates in life sciences, conducted at the Vidyasagar Institute of Biomedical Technology and Science (VIBS) in the premises of Sankara Nethralaya, Chennai.

One should always enhance for employment potential. But, M.Sc. MLT in government sector doesn't give any advantages. Please get me information if there is any difference in salary levels.
