In general, holding a degree in Genetics, such as a Bachelor's or Master's degree, does not confer the title of ‘Doctor’. The title of Doctor is typically associated with individuals who have completed a doctoral-level degree, such as a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) or a professional doctoral degree in a specific field.

Ultimately, the "better" choice depends on your individual interests and career goals. Refer to the table below for more the comparison analysis:

FeatureGenetic EngineeringBiotechnology
FocusDirect manipulation of genes
Broader field using biological systems and processes
ApplicationsMedicine, agriculture, forensics, biofuels
Healthcare, pharmaceuticals, environment, food production, industrial processes
SpecializationMore specific areas within (e.g., plant genetics, medical genetics)
Broader range of specializations depending on focus
Job opportunitiesGrowing, but may be fewer compared to broader biotechnology
High and diverse, across various industries
Salary potentialCompetitive, may vary depending on specialization
Competitive, potentially higher in some specialised areas of biotechnology

In short:

  • Genetic engineering: Offers a specialised career path with high earning potential but may have fewer job openings. Ideal for those passionate about manipulating genes and its direct impact.
  • Biotechnology: Provides a broader range of career options and potentially more job opportunities. Suitable for those interested in applying biological principles across various fields.

Since genetic engineering is such a complex field, earning a post-graduate degree can be quite helpful in getting to do work you are interested in. This is especially true if you want to lead your own research. You may be able to find entry-level work with a Bachelors degree, but a Masters can make you more competitive for prestigious or exciting positions, and a doctorate gives you even more of an advantage. Additionally, if you want to treat humans with genetic conditions, you may also need to become a medical doctor on top of obtaining a doctorate in genetic engineering. You may find joining a professional organisation is helpful in

If you do not have mathematics background in 12th then I would suggest to join B.Sc. Biotechnology programme. It will give you a core knowledge about biotech industry and further prepare for IIT JAM, GRE, and TOEFL kind of exams by which you will get more exposure to pursue PG from reputed institutes or you will get a chance to go abroad.
