• Medical Laboratory is the important pillar in the health care delivery system. The accuracy in the Lab results directly reflects on the prognosis of the patients. Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory technology course inculcates the students to develop practical skills to work in Biochemistry, microbiology and Pathology laboratories. Students learn methods and techniques of lab procedures in college lab as well as, well equipped modern automatic computerized Lab also.
