Is Lab Technician a regulated route in India?
Lab Technician is a regulated profession in most countries: you usually register with a national health or nursing council and have your credentials verified before you can practise — a step that is separate from your degree. Confirm the licensing body for India early, because it often takes longer than the job search itself.

In India it's the CV / résumé (a 'biodata' in some traditional sectors), usually flexible, photo optional, references list. Contact details (with +91 and city/state) belong in the body, not headers, which tracking systems often skip. Pay is quoted in the Indian rupee (INR, ₹).
