Post Graduate Diploma In Medical Laboratory Technology(PGDMLT)

Post Graduate Diploma In Medical Laboratory Technology(PGDMLT) - Pgd. Medical Laboratory Technology course including duration, eligibility, admission criteria, selection procedure, course fees and syllabus. A candidate seeking admission to this course: a) Should have completed successfully the B.Sc. course in Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) and have passed with not less than 50% in the qualifying examination. b) Should have completed 20 years of age at the time of admission, and not crossed the age of 35 years.The rapid advances in Science have led to a very high degree of sophistication in analytic techniques. It has therefore become imperative for industry to adapt to the modern methods of analysis. However, the human resource available to industry is, unfortunately, not adequately trained in these modern techniques due to lack of infrastructural facilities in educational institutions. The prohibitive cost of the equipment as well as the high cost of maintenance compounds the problem further. The course is intended to train graduates in the fields of clinical chemistry, clinical pathology and clinical microbiology laboratory techniques with adequate theoretical knowledge and practical skills. The successful completion of this professional training will enable students to take up jobs as Medical Technologists in any of the clinical laboratories.
