Biotech:

Branch of science in ehich raw materials are transformed into amazing innovation, discovery and products by using biology and technology. Biotech is a broad branch which include many fields like genetic engineering , bioprocess engineering etc. Some big MNCs hire students for their life science domains, you can get good opportunities. Comparatively, it has somewhat wider scope than genetic engineering. 

Genetic:

It is the manipulation of organism's genes for advancing healthcare , medicines, etc. It is subset of biotech engineering. Genetic engineering is completely research oriented field, a Ph.D degree is imperative if you want to climb ladder at work. It is still in development stage in India though it has gained much importance in last few years. But other developed countries genetic engineering is doing really well. USA and UK are at the forefront in research.

Now your question depends whether you want to go for research or enter the industry. There's nothing like better thing. If you enjoy it, you will surely make your way.

Hello Hari

Genetic Engineering is also known as genetic modification. It is a process adding new DNAthe living organisms using artificial methods. It is a method of physically removing a gene from an organism and inserting it to another and giving it the ability to express the qualities given by that gene.

Genetic engineering is a specialization of biotechnology. There are many undergraduate and postgraduate courses available in this field.

Bachelor Courses:

• Bachelor of Engineering in Genetic Engineering
• Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Genetic Engineering
• B.Sc in Genetic Engineering

Master Courses:

• Master of Engineering in Genetic Engineering
• Master of Technology (M.Tech) in Genetic Engineering
• M.Sc in Genetic Engineering

Career options after completion of course:

Hello ,

After pursuing your graduation in genetic engineering,you can opt for many options like medicine and pharmaceutical industries ,research and development ,chemical companies , engineering firms etc.You can also continue your career as a teacher or professor in this field .Genetic engineering graduates are required both in private as well as govt sector in India .It also has great growth in India as well as abroad .So you can apply for both genetic engineer or any other career option you like to .Hope this information is helpful and good luck.

yes Sakthi,genetic engineering is a course.

Genetic Engineering is the branch of advanced science, which is concerned with the wide range of scientific techniques that are applied in order to purposely change the genetic structure in the DNA code of a living life form so as to create newer and better beings.

Students enrolled to the course are taught advanced and efficient ways to develop organisms better suited to meet environmental challenges and the needs of modern medicine. A few examples of genetically engineered organisms currently in the market include plants with resistance to some insects, plants that can tolerate herbicides, and crops with modified oil content.Some of the major national- level entrance examinations conducted in India for admission to the course are JEE MAIN, JEE ADVANCE, SRMJEEE, VIT EEE, BIT-SAT, JNU EEE, etc. Other universities- level entrance exams are conducted by SRM University, Vellore Institute of Technology, Birla Institute of Technology and Jawaharlal Nehru University.

Hello aspirant

In Coimbatore  genitic engineering course is not available as if now if are interested in joining only that course the SRM is the best choice in Tamilnadu as if now and one more is bharath institute of higher education and research.

For more information about the exam and fee details use below link

Hope above information is helpful to you

Thank you

All the subjects that you have mentioned have two things in basic-Biology and Maths. At an bachelors level, you will be taught the same things in all the streams you mentioned with some in depth knowledge in some given sphere like in genetic engineering- nanotechnology, gene editing will be covered more vastly , wheareas in biomedical engineering the way instruments like CT, MRi are designed will be taught, a macro approach.

Now depending on the college they might offer some , some not. So you can choose at that level. Other parameters like job offers may be taken into consideration. 

Hi candidate,

Genetic engineering is specialised category in biotechnology engineering. Genetic engineering refers to a direct manipulation of DNA to alter an organism characteristic in a particular way.

In SRM College under the biotechnology engineering branch genetic engineering is available for pursue. And annual tution fees for the course is 250000/-. Its a 4 year course so total fees will be 1000000/-. 

I am providing you a link of SRM college for genetic engineering in which all information is given about college infrastructure, faculty, programmes and other curiculcum activities.

And if you have any doubt then let us know about it.

Thank you

Hey Ankita, 

Glad to know that you are interested in Studying Abroad with genetic Engineering as your specialization. IELTS is applicable for Genetic Engineering as well. 

Firstly, IELTS is an exam which is applicable for any stream regardless of the subject. Exam like TOEFL and IELTS are both common exam taken for passing English LAnguage Profieciency. 

IELTS , which means International English Language Testing System, Which is usually taken by those who wants to study or work where English is used as language of communication. It is basically a english Profeicency test . It uses a 9 band Scale to identify the profeciency level of a person ranging from one for non proficency to 9 for expert. 

There are two types of IELTS Test - 

• Academic - for those who want to pursue Higher Education or professional registration in English Speaking environment. They usually assesses whether the candidate is ready for education or training. It reflects the features of the academic language. Many Instituion, especially UK instituions prefer IELTS or TOEFL too. 
• General Training - It is taken by those who want to pursue secondary education , work experience, or training programmes in an english environment. IT is also taken up if a person wants to emmigrate to Australia, Canada, NewZealand or UK. This test solely focuses on the survival skills required for social outreach and in work places. 

Hoewever , even if the option varies, the areas of testing remains the same, but in the both test, the only variation will be regarding the content and subject in that particular area. 

IELTS assesses a candidate based on 4 broader areas- 

• listening  :  Here , there will be 4 recording by a native english speakers and the student must write answers to series of questions after listening to the audio. 
• Reading : Here, the content between the two types of test varies, for academic, the text include descriptive to factual and discursive to analytical. it will be taken from books magazine etc appropriate for a person who wants to study in an university where as for General training , the texts will be based on the recent newspapers, magazines etc which you see in daily life. 
• Writing : this again varies with academic and general training concept, Academic will include graphs tables etc interpretation of those and essays reegarding a point or arguments where as in general training, the situation would be given and based on that analysis writing will be done as well as essay for the topic in response to point of veiw or problem etc. 
• Speaking : this is the last part , which is same for both the type, its to acess your spoken english, The person will be having the general talk at first and then the Pick and speak part where you need to prepare about topic on spot and you will be regarded with questions and lastly , discussion on that topic. 

these are the main category for testing. So the IELTS is done to check your english profeicency and doesnt depend on the subject. You can take up any subject in your college/ university of interest and check which of the exams they prefer. SOme colleges presfer onlt TOEFL , which is again similar to IELTS and some prefer either of the two. Most of instituition in USA prefer one of the two IELTS or TOEFL along with GRE which includes many more other than the normal English profeciency tests.

So answer for your question as said before as well, IELTS is applicable for Genetic engineering as well. 

Hope it helps, Good Luck. 

Please tell me Indian institution to provide genetic engineering course. And it's procedure for addmission
