What is Genetic Engineering?

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.

Applications of Genetic Engineering:

Medical – Genetic engineering in the field of medicine is used in manufacturing drugs. The concepts of genetic engineering have been applied in doing laboratory research and in gene therapy.
Agriculture – In Agriculture, genetic engineering is used to create genetically modified crops or genetically modified organisms in order to produce genetically modified foods.
Research – Scientists uses the genetic engineering in their various researches. Genes from various organisms are converted into bacteria for storage and modification, creating genetically modified bacteria.

Scope of Genetic Engineering in India and abroad:

After pursuing courses in genetic engineering, you can work in medical and pharmaceutical industries, research and development departments, agricultural sector, genetic engineering firms, chemical companies, etc.
A genetic engineer can work in both private and public sectors. Genetic engineering graduates are required in government as well as private organizations.
The graduates of this field can also opt teaching as a career. Numerous colleges are introducing genetic engineering course in their colleges and for that they recruit professionals of this field.

Top Recruiter:

The National Institute of Immunology, Delhi
The Centre for DNA Fingerprint and Diagnostics, Hyderabad
The Institute of Genomic and Interogative Biology, Delhi
Biochecmical Engineering Research and Process Development Centre, Chandigarh

Salary:

Salary packages of a genetic engineer are based on qualification, experience, working area, etc. You can get a handsome salary package after gaining the sufficient experience in this field.

The average salary of a well-qualified genetic engineer is Rs. 20,000 to 35,000 per month. They can earn more in the private sector as compared to the public sector.

All the best!

I hope this helps!

Do revert back in case of any doubts.

I want to pursue my career in IIT or Nit. In which IIT there is course for Genetic engineering?

Blah blah 29th Mar, 2019

Madhu,

The course of genetic engineering is offered by

Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur.
Indian Institute of Science, (IISc), Bangalore.
Indian Institute of Technology, Madras.
Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi.
All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.
Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.

Sorry to say madhu you won't get any branch in NIT TRICH UNDER HOME STATE QUOTA.

Even Production engineering closes at 28000 rank. And your rank will be around 40000.

So you won't get anything in NIT TRICHY.

I want to pursue my education in IIT or Nit. I opt to choose exclusively genetic engineering. Which IITs and NIT offer it?

Ishika Mishra 19th Mar, 2019

Hello,
Sorry to say but IIT doesn't offer generic engineering directly though you can do graduation from life sciences and later do masters biotechnology if you want to pursue only IITs or NITs. There are private universities which offers that course like
lPU
NIMS, jaipur
Manipal University
SRM Institute
Hope it helps.
Thank you.

Wether genetic engineering is interesting or MMBS

Sanjana Kathuria 4th Feb, 2019

Hey it depends upon what you like!!!! In MBBS you have to study anatomy , physiology, micro bioligy , pathology , internal medicine , gynaecology and such subjects.....whereas in genetical engineering there are subjects like maths , english , chemistry , genetics, food technology etc,

As a matter of scope there is a lot to do in both the things. In case of pay you can earn more in mbbs as it depends upon your hard work ...

wish you luck !!!

genetic engineering is best or biotechnology is best

Esha saxena 28th Jan, 2019

Hloo..

Accordingly,Bio-Technology is a research oriented science, a combination of Biology and Technology. It covers a wide variety of subjects like Genetics, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Immunology, Virology, Chemistry and Engineering. It can be studied as a BSc and MSc programmes (a few universities also offer five-year integrated B.Tech /M.Tech Dual Degree Programmes after 10+2 Science) and also as a B.Tech and M.Tech courses.

Biotechnology as a subject has grown rapidly. And as far as employment is concerned, it has become one of the fast growing sector. Bio-technologists can find careers with pharmaceutical companies, chemical, agriculture and allied industries. They can be employed in the areas of planning, production and management of bio-processing industries.

Alternatively, they may find employment in specialised biotechnology companies or biotech-related companies such as pharmaceutical firms, food manufacturers, aquaculture and agricultural companies. Companies that are engaged in business related to life sciences (ranging from equipment, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, etc) also consider a biotech degree relevant to their field. The work scope can range from research, sales, marketing, administration, quality control, breeders, technical support etc.; Armed with this powerful combination of fundamental cell and molecular biology and applied science, graduates are well placed to take up careers in plant, animal or microbial biotechnology laboratories or in horticulture, food science, commerce and teaching.

Career options

As there is increasing popularity and explosive growth, there is plenty of opportunities available in Biotechnology field. You can be a Research Scientist, Teacher, Marketing manager, Science Writer, Bioinformatists, Quality Control Officer or Production in-charge in the Food, Chemical and Pharmaceutical industry. Analyst (Venture-Capitalist)Environmental / Safety Specialist .

Biotechnology companies require Corporate Executives with business/management Degrees. A graduate in Biotechnology can get job in government sectors such as Universities and Colleges, Research institutes or at Private Centres as Research scientists/assistants.

On the other hand, genetic engineering concerned with deliberate manipulation of the genetic material (DNA) of a living organism by artificial methods. The study of genetic engineering involves insertion of new genetic material at an unspecified location in the host genome by isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods to generate a DNA sequence containing the required genetic elements for expression, and then inserting this construct into the host organism.

Other methods consist of gene targeting and knocking out exact genes via engineered nucleases. The field of genetic engineering studies how traits and characteristics of an organism are transmitted through the generations, and how genetic disorders are caused.

Genetic Engineering is also concerned with developing hybrid varieties of plants, making plants disease resistant. Genetic engineering techniques are used in research, biotechnology, and medicine.

Most institutes do not offer courses in Genetic Engineering as a special discipline but as a subsidiary in biotechnology, microbiology, biochemistry streams. There are very few colleges in India that offer Genetic Engineering in undergraduate level. While choosing a graduate level course, a student should not narrow down the career options. The passage of graduation years adds to our self understanding and we get a clear picture about what career we want to choose for ourselves.

So Ill suggest you to pursue your graduation in biotechnology and then pursue Genetic Engineering in post graduate level.

Hope this helps!

Top Institutes offering this course are:

The average course fee charged in India ranges between INR 2 and 10 Lacs, depending upon the institute offering the course.

The course is divided into eight semesters, with each semester lasting a period of six months, and at the end of every semester, an external examination, both theory and practical- based, is conducted. B.Tech. Genetic Engineering course essentially comprising the study of the deliberate modification of an organism’s basic characteristics by manipulating its genetic material.

Such postgraduates are hired in capacities such as Scientific/ Medical Writer, Genetic Engineer, Information Security Engineer, etc. The average annual salary offered for these positions varies between INR 2 Las and 5 Lacs annually, increasing with experience.

Thanku.
