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.
