Genetics

Genetic Engineering is the manipulation of an organism's genome for advancing healthcare, medicine, agriculture, to name a few. Genetic engineering techniques involve introducing a foreign DNA into an organism's genome with the hope of altering its biological and chemical properties for accomplishing tasks such as treating diseases, producing higher quality and economical agricultural yields, advancing healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry. Many students GET confused between Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering. You can consider Genetic Engineering to be a subset of Biotechnology and students can specialize in Genetic Engineering while doing their undergraduate degree in Biotechnology. Career options in this field
Since Genetic Engineering is a highly research oriented field, a Ph.D. degree is imperative if you want to climb up the ladder at work. Ph.D. graduates usually go on to do their postdoctoral training and join university as professors or enter industry as research scientists. Students with just an undergraduate or Masters degree can only work as research assistants or at best as lab managers. They cannot do independent research projects, lead a team of researchers or start their own lab. In short, if you are keen on making a name for yourself in this field, be prepared to do your Ph.D. Genetic Engineering scientists and researchers usually find jobs in the research labs of universities and research institutions. Some even join the R&D section of biotech industries. Students with M.Tech or M.Sc. Degree in Genetic Engineering or Biotechnology with specialisation in Genetic Engineering can find jobs in biotech and pharma companies or join universities as research assistants. Some universities in India also hire M.Tech/M.Sc students as lecturers.

Hi,

Genetics is the study of heredity. Genetic scientists research to find out how genetic characteristics are transmitted from one generation to the next. They are involved in pursuing research by identifying and manipulating particular genes in plant, animal & human tissue samples.

Hi, Every course has it own pros and cons. One should enroll in the subject of his/her choice. Microbiology is the branch of biology that deals with the microorganisms e.g. bacteria, algae, protozoa etc. It also includes their interactions with humans, animals, plants, and the environment. Genetics is the study of Science in which we studies how living things inherits features such as hair color, eye color, and risk for disease from their ancestors. Benefits of Genetics Courses:
1. You can find job opportunities in hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and other health services.
2. It guides you about the operations of clinical biochemical genetics diagnostic laboratories. Benefits of microbiology Courses:
1. The microbiologist work in a wide range of areas and the largest is research and analysis.
2. The another field which requires microbiologist is the manufacturing industry where they work for pharmaceutical, biochemical, biotechnology and agri-chemical companies, food and beverage manufacturer, food safety organisations etc.
3. Environment sector such as water companies also require microbiologist.

B.Sc (Hons) in India is generally a three years degree programme which develops advanced theoretical and research skills. It helps in building an advanced professional or academic career. It is an appropriate course for students who wish to pursue Master of Science (M.Sc) or Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) and a research or academic career. This programme facilitates the students to pursue an independent research project in an area of interest under the supervision of an academic staff member. http://B.Sc(general) orhttp://B.Sc(programme) or simply "http://B.Sc" courses a three-year undergraduate academic degree, designed to provide the students with foundation knowledge possible for a Science-based career. This programme facilitates a large range of career possibilities. It provides a broad foundation in the sciences, with a special focus on multi-disciplinarity. Marks Required
Forhttp://B.Sc. Honours, a candidate should have passed 10 +2 or equivalent exam with 55 to 60% with physics, chemistry, mathematics, and biology as compulsory subjects. Forhttp://B.Sc. General, a candidate must have passed class 12 with more than 55 % marks in best of four subjects. Specializations
