Other diagnostic investigations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThis means laboratory work requires accuracy, discipline and attention to detail.<\/p>\n
A small error in sample identification, handling, testing or documentation can affect the reliability of a result. For this reason, medical laboratory education places strong emphasis on technical procedures, safety, quality control and professional responsibility<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/span>Who Can Study DMLS After Class 12?<\/span><\/h2>\nThe current eligibility criteria at Brainware University require candidates to have completed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology<\/strong>, with pass marks in both theory and practical examinations in each of these subjects and pass marks in English.<\/p>\nThe minimum requirement is 50% marks or equivalent grade<\/strong>. A 5% relaxation is stated for reserved-category candidates.<\/p>\nThe current page also specifies a minimum age of 17 years as of 31 December of the admission year<\/strong> and an upper age limit of 40 years as of the same date.<\/p>\nStudents should verify the latest admission requirements before applying.<\/p>\n
