Lab Technician Course Fees at Apollo Healthcare Academy
The programme fee for the B.MLS at Apollo Healthcare Academy is ₹2.5 lakh per year. Merit scholarships are given on a composite score, as a waiver on the programme fee:
| Composite score | Scholarship | Waiver on ₹2.5 lakh |
|---|---|---|
| 95 and above | 25% | ₹62,500 |
| 90 to 94.99 | 15% | ₹37,500 |

What Affects Lab Technician Course Fees?
No single official figure covers every institute, because the fee depends on several things:
- Level of the course: a diploma and a degree differ in length, so they differ in total cost.
- Type of institution: government, private and university-run institutes set their fees differently.
- City: fees and living costs vary from one city to another.
- What the fee includes: some institutes list examination, laboratory, uniform and hostel charges separately.
What to Check Beyond the Programme Fee
Ask these questions before you pay a fee at any institute:
- Is the fee per year or for the whole course, and does it stay the same every year?
- What is extra: examination fees, laboratory or consumables charges, uniform, books or hostel?
- Is the course approved, and does it follow the NCAHP curriculum?
- Is the qualification a diploma or a degree, and who awards it?
- How many hours do you spend in a real hospital laboratory, and is an internship included?
Diploma Route and Its Fees
The Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (DMLT) is the other common route. NCAHP has notified a competency-based curriculum for it, and institutions offering the diploma must follow it mandatorily from the 2027–28 session. The entry level for the diploma is 10+2 in the relevant stream. Fees for the diploma vary by institute, so to see how the diploma and the degree compare, read our guide to DMLT and BSc MLT fees, duration and which to choose.

Hospital Training in the B.MLS
Hospital training is one of the most useful things to compare when you look at fees. In the B.MLS, hands-on experience in a real hospital is 20% in Semester I, 40% in Semester II and 60% in Semester III, and it reaches 100% from Semester VI. Semesters VII and VIII are compulsory rotatory internships, with a research project.

Is the Fee Worth It?
A fee is easier to judge when you know the career it leads to. You can read about pay and roles in our guide to lab technician salary in India. We give students job and placement support. It helps you prepare and connect with employers, but it does not guarantee a job.
