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
