Research Assistant: MLT graduates can work as research assistants in laboratories, assisting scientists and researchers in conducting experiments, analyzing data, and contributing to scientific discoveries.
Quality Control Technician: You could work in pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies, ensuring that products meet quality standards by testing raw materials, intermediates, and finished products for purity, potency, and safety.

Infection Control Officer: With additional training or certification, you could work as an infection control officer, responsible for preventing and controlling infections in healthcare settings by monitoring and implementing protocols to ensure patient and staff safety.

Public Health Officer: MLT graduates can work in public health departments or government agencies, contributing to disease surveillance, outbreak investigations, and health promotion programs aimed at improving community health.

Healthcare Information Specialist: With additional training in health informatics or medical coding, you could work as a healthcare information specialist, managing and analyzing patient data to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes.

Education and Training: If you enjoy teaching, you could pursue a career as a teacher or instructor in MLT programs, training future laboratory professionals.


Specialized Laboratory Technologist: MLT graduates can choose to specialize in areas such as microbiology, hematology, immunology, or molecular diagnostics, focusing on a specific area of laboratory testing.
Phlebotomist: If you enjoy working directly with patients, you could become a phlebotomist, responsible for drawing blood samples for laboratory testing.

Ans: Hello.
To which tests your son appeared is not mentioned by you. I am assuming that he may be based to appear for either an IQ test or a DMIT Test. I would like to say that there is no need to 100% trust these tests. The results of these tests depend on the mindset of a student at that time. These tests are never 100% correct. Hence there is no need to worry about the results of these tests and what the counselor has told you.
Here are some key points on which you can work:
(1) Please ask his school teachers about his subject understanding.
(2) Please take an overall review of maths and science subjects from an understanding point of view only.
(3) Have an open talk with your son about his interest either in mathematics or biology.
(4) If possible, try to make an interaction with senior students who are preparing for JEE or NEET.
(5) Even though the coaching is now focussing either on PCM or PCB groups, it is advisable to take all 4 subjects PCMB in the 11th standard.
(6) Take a trial for at least 2 initial months in 11th standard for maths and biology subjects.
(7) Your son will automatically tell his interest in either engineering or medicine.
(8) Don't force your willingness on him to prepare for NEET.
(9) Based on the final decision, you may think of integrated courses.
(10) Your's sons interest matters more. If he is firm to go for NEET, then motivate him and keep the results of counselor tests aside.
Best of luck to your son for his bright future.
