Hi Sritam.

Genetic engineering is a highly specialized field of study and thus offered mostly at Master's level which is also the basic requirement for employment in most companies. In the USA, which is curretly a hub for biotechnology as well as advancements in genetics, the salary varies between is $159,399 to $194,895. However, the figure increases with experience and can even double up for individuals with more than five years of experience and a doctorate degree.

Hope it helps.

Hi Sritam.

If you have set your aim at becoming a Research Scientist in genetics (Geneticist), then I would suggest you to go fro a B. Sc. in either general science or life sciences.

Once you've completed you Bachelor's, you can apply for a Master's in Genetics (advisable), Molecular biology (advisable) or Genetic engineering. Go for reputed institutes that offer good research exposure. In between your vacations, apply and undergo internships that'll add value and hone your technical skills.

After getting done with Master's, you can apply for scholarships for PhD in India as well as abroad and perhaps, start a career in genetics and genetic engineering.

A career in genetics or any branch of science requires utmost patience and consistency. Though a Master's can do for many positions, a doctorate degree is desirable for many senior positions in research organizations and universities for a career in research as well as academics.

Hope this helps. Feel free to get in touch with us for any query.

All the best.
