A BSc in MLT can be challenging, but whether it is hard depends on the individual's background, interest, and commitment. BSc MLT involves a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in subjects like clinical biochemistry, microbiology, hematology, and pathology.
Students need to be detail-oriented and capable of understanding complex scientific concepts while also being proficient in laboratory techniques. Regular study, hands-on practice, and a genuine interest in the medical field can make the programme manageable and rewarding. With dedication, most students can successfully navigate the challenges of a BSc MLT course.

No, MLT graduates become doctors.
while a degree in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) provides a strong foundation in medical science and diagnostics, it does not qualify one to become a doctor.
However, an MLT graduate can pursue further education to transition into a medical career if they really wish to become a doctor.
For instance, they could enrol in MBBS, which is the standard pathway to becoming a doctor in India. This requires meeting the necessary prerequisites and passing entrance exams like NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test).

No, pursuing a degree in MLT does not require the NEET.
NEET is primarily used for admission into undergraduate medical courses such as MBBS and BDS. In contrast, admission to a BSc MLT program is generally based on Class 12 scores or CUET scores.
