The admission procedure in a B.Sc. MLT is different at various colleges and universities. Certain colleges offer admissions on the basis of merit only, by giving consideration to marks obtained in the science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology/Mathematics) in the 12th standard. Still, most reputed colleges and medical institutions hold entrance examinations for screening of candidates. In such tests, the questions that are based on Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and General Aptitude of a student are posed. Common entrance exams for B.Sc. MLT comprise AIIMS Paramedical, JIPMER, and entrance tests of state-level universities.
For institutes that conduct an entrance exam, the eligibility criteria are usually a minimum of 50% in 12th-grade science. The admission process usually involves registration for the exam, taking the test, and counseling based on ranks. In merit-based admissions, candidates apply directly with their academic scores, and universities release cutoff lists. Some institutions may also conduct personal interviews. Therefore, aspirants should check the specific admission requirements of their chosen universities to determine whether they need to prepare for an entrance exam or apply through merit-based selection.
