I want to pursue my education in IIT or Nit. I opt to choose exclusively genetic engineering. Which IITs and NIT offer it?
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.
Answer laterWether genetic engineering is interesting or MMBS
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
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!
Details about genetic engineering
Hello Nasir Hamid,
B.Tech. Genetic Engineering is a 4- year undergraduate course. The basic criterion of eligibility needed to be fulfilled for the pursuance of the course is a class XII qualification from a recognized educational Board.
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.

I am wondering what it would be like to be a genetic engineer today and also explore the changes the field will undergo in coming yrs
Hello,
Primarily, as with any technology, once it becomes cheap and easy, it’s going to be used more and more – so we can expect an explosion of activity and innovation around genetic engineering in the coming years.
From a communications viewpoint, the ability to edit genomes directly rather than splice in chunks of DNA from other organisms also offers the potential to change public perceptions around genetic engineering.
I am providing you the link to the entire article about the field in todays world.
