Genetic Engineering
  • Overview:
    Genetic Engineering involves manipulating an organism's genes using biotechnology to modify its characteristics. It combines biology, chemistry, and technology to create genetically modified organisms (GMOs), enhance agricultural yields, develop medical treatments, and advance research in molecular biology.
  • Salary Range:
  • India: ₹4 - ₹12 LPA (Lakhs Per Annum)
  • Abroad: $60,000 - $120,000 per year (varies by role, specialization, and location).
  • Job Roles After Degree:
  • Genetic Engineer
  • Biotech Researcher
  • Genomics Scientist
  • Bioprocess Engineer
  • Molecular Biologist
  • Agricultural Scientist (GMOs)
  • Biomedical Researcher
  • Regulatory Scientist (GMOs)
  • Pharmaceutical Geneticist
  • Clinical Geneticist
  • Skills to Develop:
  • Strong foundation in molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry
