Holders of National Diploma (ND) in Science Laboratory Science had been asking a few questions to decide their next moves after being awarded the ordinary national certificate. Some want to obtain the JAMB direct entry form to pull Degree Nursing admission while others are considering alternative courses such as Medical Laboratory Science.
Before deciding which is which, there is the need to know the list of universities that will accept SLT (OND/HND) for Nursing. I remember giving you about 5 that will accept that for Nursing. However, for those who are interested in Medical Laboratory Science instead, this post will be your comprehensive guide.
The post will answer the questions of whether you can obtain a direct entry form for degree MLS admission or not. It will address whether you must do industrial training before taking such a step. And finally, I will cover the list of universities accepting the Higher National Diplomas or Ordinary National Diplomas for Medical Laboratory Science.
I've confirmed, officially, that there are 7 universities in Nigeria that accept SLT for their MLS admission through DE. To be listed in the other section of this post. Read on!
If you must proceed to a university after your ND through JAMB DE for a degree in your course or related one, you don't need IT experience.
MAIDUGURI accepts certificates from the Institute of Medical Laboratory Technology, Science Laboratory Technology (IMLS/T) of Nigeria.
Though it wasn't made very clear, according to the JAMB brochure, whether this certificate should be processed by a degree or HND holders. Yet, it's safe to conclude that if you an HND or a Bsc holder with the aforementioned certificate, you can obtain DE for the University.
Similar to UNIMAID, IMSU also accepts certificates of the Institute of Medical Laboratory Technology, Science/Technology (IMLS/T) of Nigeria.
In order words, this admission is opened to HND holders instead.

You Can Pull MLS Direct Entry Admission with SLT
Generally, it's acceptable to obtain the JAMB direct entry form and pull DE admission into the universities offering MLS. However, not all Nigerian universities offering MLS will consider polytechnic Science Laboratory graduates for the course.I've confirmed, officially, that there are 7 universities in Nigeria that accept SLT for their MLS admission through DE.

You don't Need Industrial Training Before Direct Entry Application
The only admission that requires you to partake in the one-year industrial (IT) program is the HND. IT is a prerequisite for HND admission. Therefore, an ND holder must spend 1 year (for any grade above pass) or 2 years (for pass) with any organization to acquire practical on-field experiences.If you must proceed to a university after your ND through JAMB DE for a degree in your course or related one, you don't need IT experience.
