Choosing between pursuing your B.Sc. or a change to a B.Voc in Medical Lab Technology (MLT) is subject to your professional aspirations. B.Voc in MLT targets practical skills and employment-focused training in medical laboratory technology. Admissions for B.Voc are usually based on a 10+2 Science background. As you are in the third year of B.Sc, evaluate if the practical orientation of B.Voc is more in line with your goals compared to the theoretical intensity of B.Sc.
