The Proficiency Certificate Level (PCL) in Medical Lab Technology (CMLT) is a three-year academic and technical program conducted by Nobel Technical and Medical Science College, Kohalpur. Affiliated with the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT), the course is designed for SEE graduates interested in laboratory science, diagnostic testing, and clinical support roles.
This program equips students with the foundational knowledge and practical skills to work in medical laboratories, hospitals, and diagnostic centers, playing a key role in patient care through accurate lab analysis.
The curriculum is spread across six semesters over three academic years. It combines theoretical learning, laboratory work, and clinical practice.
Main subjects include:
Human Anatomy and Physiology
Clinical Biochemistry
Hematology and Blood Banking
Microbiology and Parasitology
Histopathology and Cytology
Immunology and Serology
Clinical Pathology and Urinalysis
Laboratory Management and Ethics
Public Health and Disease Surveillance
Each semester includes classroom-based study and lab-based training, preparing students to work confidently in real healthcare settings.
Provide technical knowledge related to diagnostic lab procedures
Train students to handle lab tools, machines, and safety protocols
Build core competencies in collecting, processing, and interpreting lab results
Promote ethical lab practice, documentation, and patient confidentiality
This program opens doors to employment in hospitals, pathology labs, diagnostic centers, and public health institutions. CMLT graduates play an essential support role in disease diagnosis, medical research, and epidemic monitoring. The course also promotes higher studies in medical sciences and related fields.
Upon graduation, students will be able to:
Perform standard laboratory tests related to blood, urine, stool, and other samples
Prepare reagents and operate lab equipment accurately
Identify microorganisms and detect abnormalities through lab analysis
Maintain records and generate test reports
Follow biosafety measures, quality control, and infection prevention practices
Communicate laboratory findings clearly with the medical staff
Practical sessions in blood collection and sample preparation
Microscope handling and staining techniques
Operating semi-automated and automated analyzers
Slide preparation for histology and microbiology
Maintenance of inventory, hygiene, and lab discipline
Observation and reporting of case findings under supervision
The teaching method includes instructor-led theory classes, small-group lab training, and clinical internships. Students spend a significant part of their final year in hospitals and diagnostic labs to apply what they’ve learned in real-time environments under expert supervision.
