The Sathyabama Institute of Science and Technology B.Sc. in Medical Lab Technology (MLT) program is designed in such a way that it not only allows students to earn their degree. Also, eligible candidates must fulfill certain eligibility and entrance exam requirements for admission to the program. Certain factors such as the number of applicants, performance in the entrance test and other academic credentials determine the cut-off mark. The criteria for determining cut-off scores for the 2024 admissions cycle depend on aggregate scores obtained in subjects within relevant fields like Physics, Chemistry and Biology, as well as performance realized during Sathyabama University’s entrance test. This makes Sathyabama a competitive institution with good infrastructure, laboratories and practical training facilities. Also, admission may be given based on marks where those who score higher in the entrance exam and related subjects are most likely to secure a place.
