    • Hematology: Study of blood and its components, diagnosing conditions like anemia, leukemia, and clotting disorders.

    • Microbiology: Identifying and analyzing microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites that cause infections.

    • Immunology and Serology: Testing for antibodies and antigens to diagnose diseases like HIV, Hepatitis, and autoimmune disorders.

    • Pathology: Examining tissue samples (biopsy) to identify diseases such as cancer and other abnormalities.

    • Blood Banking: Collection, storage, and cross-matching of blood for transfusion purposes.

    • Clinical Laboratory Management: Understanding lab operations, quality control, safety, and infection control.

2. Duration and Structure:

  • Duration: The program typically spans 3 years (6 semesters) and combines theoretical learning with practical training in hospitals, labs, or clinics.

  • Eligibility:

    • Completion of 12th grade (higher secondary) with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology as core subjects.
