[smartacademy]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to understand the salary expectations after completing a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology(DMLT). I've seen a wide salary range online, so I wanted more real opinions.

Freshers seem to start in roles like lab assistant, technician, or pathology support staff. But the starting salary varies depending on whether you work in:

Private diagnostic labs

Multi-specialty hospitals

Small clinics

Government healthcare centers

If anyone has practical experience or knows someone working after completing a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology, please share the typical fresher salary and growth after 1–2 years.
