does genetic engineering rule the world

Hello,

Thanks for connecting to Careers360

Genetic Engineering is basically involving the group of techniques that cuts up and joins together genetical material, especially DNA from a different biological species and introducing the resulting hybrid DNA into an organism in order to form new combinations of heritable materials.

To become an genetic engineer, one should hold bachelor's degree in science. With specialisation in biophysics or biochemistry or molecular biology or genetics, one can do masters or M.tech or MSc in anyone of the subjects mentioned above.

Genetic Engineering mainly focuses on biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology,evolutionary biology and medical biology

The techniques of genetic engineering is used in

* Research Agriculture

* Industrial Biotechnology

* Medicine

Scope of Genetic Engineering are:

* Graduates can work both in private and public sectors

* With the growth of Biotech firms in India as well as in foreign countries, Genetic Engineering graduates are required for both government and private organizations.

* Therefore the scope in Genetic Engineering in future is great.

* Graduates can opt teaching as their career too, as many colleges are introducing course of Genetic Engineering .

Best colleges for Genetic Engineering are as follows :

1. Indian Institute of Technology, Karagpur

2. Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore

3. Indian Institute of Technology  Madras

4. Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

5. All India Institute of Medical science, New Delhi

Hope this helps! Have a nice day!
