No DMLT course is not same like a degree.
DMLT is diploma level course, usually after Class 12, but degree is higher study that you get after finishing bachelor program.

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.
