Top MedTech Schools in the Philippines 2026 (Ranked by MTLE Passing Rates)
Medical technology has something no other board exam in this series has: a genuine, ongoing dynasty. The recent MTLE data is a story about one Baguio institution — and about which schools are close behind it.
Methodology: official PRC top-performing school announcements (for the MTLE: 50 or more examinees passed with at least an 80% rate, per the Commission's criteria) across recent cycles, weighting repeat appearances.
The Recent Cycles at a Glance
| MTLE Cycle | National Passing Rate | Top-Performing School |
|---|
|------------|----------------------|----------------------|
| March 2026 | 84.13% (7,838/9,317) | Saint Louis University — 100%, with the highest examinee count among perfect-rate schools: 362 new medical technologists |
| August 2025 | 71.19% (3,360/4,720) | Saint Louis University — 98.28% (57/58); De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute 2nd at 97.98% (97/99) |
| March 2025 | 80.26% (6,147/7,659) | Notre Dame of Marbel University — perfect 100% (all 57) |
| August 2023 | — | Saint Louis University — perfect 100% (all 152); Cagayan State–Andrews 2nd at 97.50% |
The Consistency Leaders
- Saint Louis University (Baguio) — the dynasty. Top school in three of the four cycles above, including the extraordinary March 2026 result: a perfect 100% with 362 examinees, by far the largest perfect-rate cohort in the country. Excellence at that scale is a system, not luck
- De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute (Cavite) — 97.98% at meaningful scale in August 2025; the Luzon private-school benchmark
- Notre Dame of Marbel University (South Cotabato) — the March 2025 perfect-rate leader and Mindanao's medtech standard-bearer
- Cagayan State University – Andrews — the state-university standout at 97.50%
- Velez College, UST, and University of the Immaculate Conception–Davao — the topnotcher factories: national #1 examinees in recent cycles came from Velez (March 2025), UST (August 2024), and UIC-Davao (August 2025)
How to Read This Honestly
MedTech's national passing rates run high (71-84% recently) compared to criminology or the LET — but don't mistake that for an easy board: the exam covers six laboratory sciences plus law and ethics, and the high rates reflect a rigorous internship system filtering readiness before exam day. School choice here also carries an international dimension most rankings ignore: a strong multi-section internship (the SLU/DLSMHSI hallmark) is precisely what the ASCPi and abroad employers later look for.

One honest note from us: LisensyaPrep sells an MTLE Mastery System, so we have skin in this profession — which is exactly why this ranking uses only PRC's official numbers, fully cited, nothing editorialized.
