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:

• You can work in medical and pharmaceutical industries, research and development departments, agricultural sector, genetic engineering firms, chemical companies, etc after pursuing courses in genetic engineering, A genetic engineer can work in both private and public sectors.
• The graduates of Genetic engineering are required in government as well as private organizations.
• There is a huge growth of genetic engineering in India as well as abroad. With the increasing number of biotech firms in India, the future scope for genetic engineers is good.
• The graduates of this field can also take teaching as a career in which Numerous colleges are introducing genetic engineering course in their colleges they are hiring professionals for this field.
• If you wish to become a genetic engineering research scientist, you need a doctoral degree in biological science. The genetic engineering research scientist is responsible for entire research programs.

Responsibilities of a genetic engineer:

• For future prospects, the genetic engineer should aware of every topic in the subject.
• The study and research work and proper care were taken by the engineer.
• Genetic engineers needed to maintain huge contracts with various firms and industries.
• work timing can be extended in case of special projects.

I hope the above information will help. Good luck!

Thank you!
