My son is studying in 12th science, with PCMB. He wants do genetic engineering. My questions are :
1) Whether maths is necessary for genetic engineering?
2) Whether it is required to give JEE/NEET exam?
3) Is there any other diploma course of Genetic Engineers after 12th?

The detailed explanation for your query is given below.

1) Yes, Mathematics is required to be eligible for doing this course. Candidates who have completed their 12th Class with PCM subjects from a recognized university.

2) Yes, you are required to appear in Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) in order to get admission in Genetic Engineering. I suggest you to appear in JEE examination first and score good marks in order to get admission in Indian Institute of Technologies (IIT's).

3) As far as my best knowledge is concerned, there is no such diploma in Genetic Engineering course. So I suggest you to pursue direct B.E/ B.Tech in Genetic Engineering course after completion of 12th Class through Common Entrance Exam score.

In order to get admission in genetic engineering, you should appear for JEE(main) examination, once you clear the examination with good score, you will be very much eligible to get admission in the above mentioned course. You can also appear for NEET examination.

Yes, you should have studied mathematics at your +2 level of standard. Yes, you can also get admission in Diploma in Genetic Engineering course as there is a provision for it after completion of your 12th standard.

Yes, Mathematics is compulsory for Genetic Engineering course.

To get admission in Genetic Engineering course, you should qualify in JEE Main exam.

Diploma is genetic engineering course is not available in India.

Yes definitely, candidates must have studied Mathematics in class 12th in order to pursue any of the Engineering Branch. To do Genetic Engineering also, candidates must have studied Mathematics in class 12th.
Yes definitely your ward has to appear in the Entrance examination conducted by the State Council or Conducted by the National Council to take admission for the above mentioned course.
Yes, after class 12th, candidates can also apply for the Diploma in Genetic Engineering on the basis of class 10th qualification.

Is neet and jee conduct at same day or different day? Because I wish to write both exams

I want to genetic engineering but didn't give JEE but i am giving neet exam. Will I be able to get admission for this field after 12th

I want to to do genetic engineering after 12th science have PCMB group I applied for NEET but not for her what can I do?

I want to genetic engineering but didn't give JEE but i am giving neet exam. Will I be able to get admission for this field after 12th .

I am not interested in JEE but interested in NEET is it possible to become genetic engineer

Which are good college in Maharashtra for genetic engineering and where

I am studying in 12th with PCMB and preparing for neet. Want to be genetic engineer.
Can I do the genetic engineering through neet ?
