Dear Jayaprakash, if you want to study B.Sc in Genetics and then move ahead to pursue Masters and then a Ph.D, NEET is not required. Because NEET is the entrance examination for admission to Medical, Dental, Ayush and Veterinary Courses across India. On the other hand, if you want to study MBBS and then pursue Genetics as your specialisation in Masters then yes NEET is required at UG Level.

No neet is to study degree courses of mbbs and bds only.For genetics,you can study BSc hons.in genetics.You can do Genetic Engineering for which you have to apply for Engineering entrance examinations. You can take up any course related to Genetics like Molecular Genetics, General Biochemistry,Advanced Recombinant DNA course etc.You don't need to appear for NEET at all for this.

Thank you
