Genetic Engineering

Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct manipulation of an organism's genome using biotechnology. It is a set of technologies used to change the genetic makeup of cells, including the transfer of genes within and across species boundaries to produce improved or novel organisms. New DNA is obtained by either isolating and copying the genetic material of interest using molecular cloning methods or by artificially synthesizing the DNA. A construct is usually created and used to insert this DNA into the host organism. The process can also be used to remove, or "knock out", genes. A new DNA can be inserted randomly or targeted to a specific part of the genome.

Hello Vishal,
The Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) do not offer B.Tech in Genetic Engineering. Instead, Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering programmes are offered.
IIT, Madras conducts B.Tech and five-year dual-degree M.Tech programmes in Biotechnology.
