Main Recruitment for DMLT

Preparing for DMLT Recruitment

Revise clinical pathology, haematology, biochemistry and microbiology techniques, and laboratory safety, for the written test.

Career Growth

Laboratory technicians move to senior technician and laboratory supervisor posts, and a B.Sc MLT opens higher grades.

What DMLT Candidates Often Miss

• Some laboratory technician posts need a B.Sc MLT, not a DMLT.
• National Health Mission posts are mostly contractual.
• Check whether registration with a state paramedical council is required.

Age Limit and Applying for DMLT Jobs

There is no single age limit for DMLT posts: each notification sets the minimum and maximum age for its own posts, the date on which age is counted and the documents to upload. Central government recruitment covers the standard age relaxations, the documents most recruiters ask for and how the online application works; state recruiters set their own relaxations.
