As per the official FAQ section of SRM :

Yes, students who have NOT studied biology in 10+2 or its equivalent are eligible for admission to B.Tech Genetic Engineering. They should have passed in 10+2 or its equivalent and secured minimum 60% aggregate in physics, chemistry and mathematics. Needless to say that the students who have secured minimum 60% aggregate in physics, chemistry and biology are eligible for admission to B.Tech Genetic Engineering. These are qualifying marks only. Admission will be based on the performance in All India Engineering Entrance Examination of SRM University (SRMEEE) only.

So if you have 60% marks then you are also eligible for the course.

Genetic Engineering is a interdisciplinary field between engineering and genetics. If you have interest to work in the field of genetics then this can be a good option for you. Now in general Mathematics is required for Genetics. Statistics plays an important role in the experimentation of Genetics. So you need to know mathematics in due course which is known as BioMath or Bio Stat. Also in the 1st year you will have some comprehensive mathematics course known as Engineering Mathematics. So you have to learn Mathematics.

For this course both PCB and PCM are eligible but you will need Mathematics (basically computation) to lead the course.

Biotechnology students are broad in scope, as they can work in the pharmaceuticals, agriculture, healthcare, food processing, nutrition, animal science, and environmental conservation sectors. Not in terms of opportunities, even salary packages for biotech professionals are lucrative.

The scope of biotechnology is wide and offers opportunities in both research and engineering fields.

It will take a lot of effort, which can sometimes be frustrating.

This is not a profession for people who want to make a quick buck, but rather for people looking for a long, well-laid career.

The testing and interview processes are often difficult and one has to be a technical expert.

While in genetic engineering:

After taking courses in genetic engineering, you can work in medical and pharmaceutical industries, research and development departments, agricultural sector, genetic engineering companies, chemical companies, etc.

You can earn Bachelor's, Master's, and PhD degrees in this field. It is important for the study of microbiology, cell biology, biotechnology and biochemistry.

Genetic engineering involves the manipulation of genes by organisms using biotechnology.

To be a genetic engineer, you require a strong understanding of scientific methods, critical thinking, analytical, mathematical, problem-solving skills, and the ability to use graphics, photographic images, etc.
