Yes, you are eligible for M.Sc. MLT- MIcrobiology at JIPMER

Yes, you can pursue an MSc MLT after completing a BVoc in Medical Lab Technician in India, provided you meet the eligibility criteria set by the respective institutions. Many universities and colleges accept candidates with a BVoc degree, as it is considered equivalent to a BSc MLT course for PG studies.

However, some institutions may have specific requirements, such as a minimum percentage in your undergraduate studies or entrance exams for admission to the MSc courses.

Currently, there are no specific colleges in Ahmedabad that offer an MSc MLT course as a standalone program. 

However, students interested in pursuing this course can look into nearby cities or institutions offering  MSc MLT courses. Some universities and private colleges in Ahmedabad may offer related courses such as BSc MLT, and students can pursue higher education options, including MSc MLT, in other cities or opt for online or distance learning programs.

Whether pursuing an MSc MLT course is better than starting a job after completing a BSc MLT depends on individual career goals and aspirations. 

For those seeking specialisation in specific areas of laboratory technology, an MSc offers the opportunity to gain advanced knowledge and expertise, which can lead to higher-level roles, such as laboratory manager or researcher. It also opens doors to academic and teaching positions. 

However, for those eager to gain practical experience, earn a salary, and start their career quickly, entering the workforce after BSc MLT is a viable option.
