If your goal is to pursue a research career in Genetic Engineering, then your best bet would be to complete your undergraduate degree and pursue masters course in a reputed university in India or abroad. For Indian universities, all you need is the GATE/JAM scores. For universities abroad, your GPA, GRE/TOEFL scores and research projects are very important. For this purpose, start doing projects under a professor in your department or in other universities/research institutions. Doing summer internships in prestigious research organizations such as TIFR, IISc etc. will not only help enhance your research skills but will also make you a likely candidate for scholarships and funding for masters/phd programs abroad.



The starting salary of the geneticist is Rs. 20000 to Rs. 25000 in India. Students have a bachelor degree in genetics, they can earn3.5 lakhto5 lakhper year. In the USA, the average annual base salary of geneticists is$159,339to$194,895.



Genetic Engineering is still in the development stage in India.

Thank you and all the best.

Hi,

Genetic engineering is the sub domain of Biotechnology. Basement should be strong in any field. It is good to go for bachelors in biotechnology and in higher studies such as MS or Phd you can select domain as genetic engineering. Comes to scope you have to spend more time to shine in this field. There are some bioinformatics companies offer opportunities for genetic engineering. These companies are comparatively descent package over other research labs. Salary vary from company to company and is completely based on the skills of the person
