Is maths necessary for genetic engineering? Through biology can we enter ? Is there any way to enter through payment or examined genetic engineering? Can you please let me know the right information on the same? Hoping that I will get the answer soon.

Maths is not a compulsory subject for genetic engineering admission. For genetic engineering , One should have passed (10+2) or equivalent course with physics , chemistry and biology as a main subjects.

Hi,
To take up Genetic Engineering course, you should have completed your 10+2 with Biology as an elective.In Biology, Genetics should be a topic you would have studied.
Or
An equivalent degree with Molecular Biology also works out
