I Want to Do BSc MLT – What’s Next?


Scene: A student curious about healthcare meets an Akash alumnus who has already graduated in B.Sc MLT.
Why Choose BSc MLT?
Student: Hi! I’ve just finished my 12th and I’m interested in healthcare, but I’m not sure what exactly B.Sc MLT is. Could you explain?
Graduate: Of course! BSc Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT) is about diagnosing and detecting diseases through lab tests. You’ll learn to analyze blood, urine, tissues, and other samples using advanced lab equipment. Doctors depend heavily on lab technologists to confirm and monitor treatments.
Why Did You Choose Akash for B.Sc MLT?
Student: That sounds important! But why did you pick Akash Group of Institutions?
Graduate: Honestly, I chose Akash because it’s one of the top colleges for allied health sciences in Karnataka. The Akash Medical Imaging Technology Course and the BSc MLT Course are both affiliated with RGUHS and recognized by the Government of Karnataka. Plus, Akash has its own multi-specialty teaching hospital—so you don’t just learn theory; you practice in real clinical settings.
What Skills Do I Need?
Student: What kind of skills do I need before joining?
Graduate: Good question! When I joined, all I really needed was my science background from 12th. But along the way, Akash helped me develop skills like:
Precision & attention to detail (lab tests have to be accurate).
Handling advanced equipment like auto-analyzers, centrifuges, and microscopes.
Teamwork & communication, since we work with doctors and nurses.
Critical thinking, because interpreting results is a big part of the job.
Don’t worry—you’ll build these during the Akash BSc MIT Course and MLT training.
How Was Life at Akash?
Student: I’m also curious about the college life. How was your experience?
Graduate: It was a balance of academics, labs, and fun. The campus is modern and peaceful, near Kempegowda International Airport. We had practical sessions almost daily, workshops with medical experts, and access to hospital labs. The faculty were approachable, and placements were strong—most of us got opportunities in top hospitals and diagnostic labs.
What About Career Opportunities?
Student: And after graduation, what kind of jobs can I expect?
Graduate: The career scope is excellent. With B.Sc MLT, you can become:
Lab Technologist in hospitals or diagnostic centers
Microbiology/Pathology Specialist
Research Assistant in medical labs
Blood Bank or Clinical Lab Manager
Even pursue higher studies like M.Sc MLT or MBA in Hospital Management
The healthcare sector always needs lab technologists, so job demand is strong in India and abroad.
Your Advice to a 12th Pass Student
Student: Wow, that’s motivating. Any advice for someone like me who is about to start this journey?
Graduate: Absolutely. If you’re interested in healthcare but don’t necessarily want to become a doctor or nurse, B.Sc MLT is perfect. At Akash, you’ll get solid academic training, hands-on practice, and great placement support. Trust me—it’s a career path with both stability and respect.
