Hello,

Genetics is a wide field and it has applicability in cancer research, assessing newborn defects, Nutrigenomics, DNA sample analysis, etc.  After pursuing courses in genetic engineering, you can work in medical and pharmaceutical industries, research and development departments, agricultural sector, genetic engineering firms, chemical companies so on With the increasing number of biotech firms in India.The average starting salary of a Genetic Engineer in India is expected to be Rs 3.00 Lakhs per Annum. The pay scale increases with years of experience and skills.

Hey,

You have mentioned about Manipal University so I m answering by thinking that you are referring to the main branch. The Manipal University is one of the best private university for students to shape their career with immense knowledge.

So yes Manipal is far better than SRM University.

As far as the course is concerned both the subjects are quite similar and will make you eligible for biomedical and tech related career. So it should be you deciding as per your interest.

Only difference is that Bsc Biotech is a three year degree u like Genetic Engineering being a four year.

Hope that helps.

Thank you

Hey,

Both of the fields are pretty good to pursue as a career. The only difference being the time duration for these courses that makes it a bit different in terms of placement.

Bsc Degree in India as we all know don't offer much placement yo students and even if they do they don't get high placement package. On the other hand B-Tech degree has more package to offer as it has more informative and practical curriculum.

Both the colleges are almost same. So decide accordingly which field you want to go for in terms of your expectations from life.

Hope that helps.

Thank you

Hello Dear,

Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) is one of the most common entrance examinations for admission into various engineering courses all over India. This is a national level examination, and students can opt for it after completing their 10+2 education. Some of the college which offers Genetic Engineering are below:

hi,

see the both of the institute you have mentioned is excellent in terms of infrastructure, placement , faculty students ration, industry collaboration and so on. but the courses are bit different, first of all you have to understand the difference of course structure of genetic engineering and biotechnology. Biotechnology is a field of modern biology or life science that uses biological  organisms and biological systems to create r new organisms or useful products. Modern biotechnology includes the tools of genetic engineering, genetic engineering is essential part of biotechnology, but for research or job trends biotechnology has better scope then genetic engineering.

so I would prefer  for integrated biotechnology course in vit university.

Hello Student,

BSc biotechnology e in Amrita University is a good three years long undergraduate degree course. The course fee is about 4lakhs.You should have minimum 60% marks in PCB group to have a chance to get admission in this college. But there is no search placement records on their site. You can go to the link below to know more

In the other hand BTech in  geneticengineering is one of the popular and demanding four years long undergraduate professional degree course. One of the best institutes to have B tech genetic engineering is SRM. This course is more professional ized and even you can get placement from the college also. So if you get a chance and like this course you can go for this. Go to their official website to have a better knowledge

Hello Aspirant,

Professors for genetic engineering earn 3.8 Lakh per annum in Tamil Nadu. The average salary earn by the professor for genetic engineering in Tamil Nadu region is 40,000 per month.

I hope this information will helpful for you.

Feel free to ask any query.

All the best for your bright future ahead.

hello Priya

I hope you are doing good. I would like to tell you that scope of genetic engineering is very demanding in recent years. In last years bio tech firms are increased in large numbers  due to which jobs in this field are growing .  Due to the development of improved medicine and wellness therapies  also the scope of genetic engineering is increasing. After doing genetic engineering one can go private as well as government firms. Now if we come to your second question , scope of genetic engineering is not much in chennai due to less number of firms , you can go for north indian for a better growth

Hope you found this answer helpful. Good luck for your future

Hello,

SRM is the only place in India where post-graduate training in latest Genetic Engineering Technologies is provided at global standards. Specialization is offered in Human Genetics, Plant Genetics, and Microbial Genetics modules.The department gives great importance to obtain externally funding research projects from India and abroad. Collaborative and interdisciplinary research is active in the areas of genomics, human genetics, bio-energy, plant, animal and microbial genetics. There are immense opportunities for geneticists in the fields of basic and clinical research. Genetic engineers have scope for employment all over the world in both developed and developing nations. However, being a research-oriented field, becoming full-time researchers in public funded institutions or private companies or Professor in Universities is the most sought after career option. They  provide Semester Abroad Program (SAP) is unique to SRM IST by which students are sent to reputed Universities abroad for one or more semesters for doing course work or research. So far, 264 students of the Department of Genetic Engineering have gone to 54 different Universities and Institutions in 13 countries under the SAP.
