Yes, the DMLT course is officially recognised as a Paramedical course. It is classified as part of allied health sciences and is focused on diagnostic support in the healthcare system. 

Graduates are provided their education and skills to help doctors by performing lab tests that are vital for diagnosis. DMLT technicians serve a critical role in patient care like all paramedical roles, although typically behind the scenes.

Yes, a DMLT Diploma can be useful for getting lab-related jobs overseas, but it's dependent on regulations within that country. Some countries require certification, licensing exams, or experience. 

If you plan on working abroad, it is important that you check that country's healthcare eligibility requirements. Gaining experience in India and taking advanced or bridge courses may also improve your chances of working internationally.

The DMLT course covers both theory and practical, but tends towards the practical work in a hospital laboratory setting. There is a lot of time spent at practical sessions learning how to collect, test and analysing the samples. 

The course includes theory covering human anatomy, Pathology, microbiology, and lab ethics. The practical sessions are getting familiar with lab equipment, safety protocols, how to conduct tests, and report results. This coverage prepares them well to enter a laboratory settings.

Basic computer skills would be helpful if you have them, but they will not be essential for students embarking on the DMLT course. Many students learn to use the lab software, data entry systems, and reporting features during their training and practical experience.

With many labs now using electronic systems based in computers, a comfortable approach to working with computers can improve both efficiency and employability. Even if you do not start with great computer skills, you will develop the knowledge and experience needed for the job.

The DMLT course is manageable for students who have a general knowledge of biology and chemistry. The subject matter is primarily focused on laboratory methodology, sample testing, and diagnostic procedures. 

This programme also strikes a reasonable balance of theory and practical training. In fact, this programme tends to be much more practical training than book work. With regular study habits and good attendance during lab sessions, most average students can be very successful and build a good base for future healthcare careers.

No, NEET is not needed for DMLT (Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology) admission. The admission for the DMLT course is usually based on Class 12 (PCB/PCM) merit or an entrance exam by the college for admission consideration.

It is a more common choice for students thinking about entering the health sector without writing a competitive exam like NEET.
