Nowadays genetic courses are offered by many institutions in the world. One of them is genetic engineering. It is now becoming one of the top branches for engineering in the institutions and is now attracting best brains across the world. Actually genetics is the study of human chromosomes which is made up of DNA (deoxy ribo nucleic acid).Genes are considered like finger prints. This is because the structure of gene for each and every human being is different. So the course includes genetic engineering and has its applications in many other fields like in forensic department etc.

Genetic course -an overview

Career opportunities in genetics are increasing day by day. As this course provides research facilities with respect to animals and plants forms the number of the interested students who want to get admission in this course has also increased. Medicines for diseases like AIDS, CANCER etc are to be found. Genetic courses provide the platform for that, as it provides research in the gene structures of living organisms. Also clones are created by the scientists after undergoing courses in genetics.

This course provides many opportunities to the interested candidates. But the opportunities will depend on the potential of the candidate and how much that candidate can deliver during the course period. Therefore only those candidates who are interested and want to know about genes and genetic structure need to apply for the genetic courses.

Courses offered in genetics field

Genetic courses mainly deals with the gene and its corresponding details. Post graduate courses and graduate courses are offered by many universities in this field. A candidate can go for B.Sc, M.Sc and PhD courses in genetics. Other option for the candidate is in the engineering field. Some of the graduation and post graduation courses available are listed below-

• B.Sc in genetic engineering
• B.Sc Biotechnology
• B.S.C forensic science
• M.Sc. biotechnology
• M.Sc. applied genetics
• M.Sc.Medical Microbiology
• BE (Bachelors of Engineering) in agriculture
• B.tech in bioinformatics
• B.tech in genetic engineering
• BSc (Bachelors of Science) in Agriculture
• BSc (Bachelors of Science) in Microbiology
• BSc (Bachelors of Science) in Biochemistry
• BSc (Bachelors of Science) in Genetics

Genetic courses are offered in the engineering field also. A candidate can only go for Bachelor of Science degree in genetics, if the candidate hasn’t studied mathematics in the 10+2 level. Candidate can go for post graduation after the completion of the degree course. If the candidate has studied mathematics in the 10+2 level then he / she can apply for engineering courses in genetics. But all candidates should have science background to study the degree course in genetics.
