Hi there. 

The excellence of the field depends upon the person who is undertaking it. 

All the fields mentioned in the question aren't full fledgedly well established in India but have booming markets. People are getting more and more interested towards the field of genetic engineering, biotechnology, and microbiology. 

Take the field where your passion and interest lies. If you are still confused talk to people who are already in the field. Take help of websites like Quora and listening to some Ted Talks might give you a proper insight of the respective fields. 

Hope this helps.

Hello Aspirant, 

To join Genetic engineering in SRM university , you have to take SRMJEE(UG) , and you have to attempt physics, chemistry, biology specifically. Whereas you can Also join through direct admissions. They offer direct admissions and scholarships to top rank students from central as well as state universities, and top 1000 rankers in IITJEE . you need to prepare in IITJEE level in order to qualify SRM university elegiblity test.

ALL THE BEST!

A genetic engineer works with the genetic material or DNA of orgnisms to change or modify some component.  Genetic Engineering graduates get the opportunity to work in medical and pharmaceutical Industries, Agriculture Industries, Research.

The salary package depends on your skills & capability also, The entry level salary package you can expect around 20,000- 25,000 per month.

Good Luck!

Hey Rupak,

Hi Rupak,

Genetic Engineering basically is the process of manually adding new DNA to a living organism through artificial methods.

Genetic Engineering is a method by which a gene is physically removed from one organism and inserted into another and hence giving it the ability to express the qualities given by that gene.

Applications of Genetic Engineering :

Genetic engineering is used in medicine, research, industry, and agriculture.

• Medicine – Genetic engineering in the field of medicine is used in manufacturing drugs. The concepts of genetic engineering have been applied in doing laboratory research and in gene therapy.

• Agriculture – In Agriculture, genetic engineering is used to create genetically modified crops or genetically modified organisms in order to produce genetically modified foods.

• Research – Scientists uses genetic engineering in their various researches. Genes from various organisms are converted into bacteria for storage and modification, creating genetically modified bacteria for other uses.

It is a specialization of biotechnology and can be studied as a specialization course. There are also many undergraduate and postgraduate courses available.

Bachelor Courses : 

Bachelor of Engineering in Genetic Engineering

Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Genetic Engineering

B.Sc in Genetic Engineering

Master Courses:

Master of Engineering in Genetic Engineering

Master of Technology (M.Tech) in Genetic Engineering

M.Sc in Genetic Engineering

Hope this will help. You can comment below if you need more information.

Dear Rupak Chandurkar 

All fields are good and they have good for India as well as abroad since in these fields lots of scarecity of skilled people is available

Choose a course which you are mostly inerested and acuire good skills in it 

Best of luck 

First of all TANCET is for M.Tech courses and therefore it cannot be used. You will have to apply through TNEA admissions held by Anna University. As far as I see Kamaraj University doesnt offer B.Tech. They offer science programmes - M.Sc and the regular arts.

There are many Private colleges which offer this stream to undergraduates, But apart from them, you can do Engineering in Biological Sciences from IITs and then switch to genetic Engineering in Postgraduate from world-class universities. In IITs, you will get an opportunity to carry out research on Genetic Engineering even at Undergraduate level and If you become favorite of some Professor and got LoR then it would be very easy for You to get admission into worlds Top Universities for your interest. If you are considering Private Institutes then Below is the list of some of the Top private Institutes for Genetic Engineering.
