I am a student in Nepal ; Just passed the SLC exam.What can i do to study Genetic engineering here in Nepal?Which colleges provide such facilities?

COLLEGES IN NEPAL THAT OFFERS GENETIC ENGG.

Dear,
First of all I would like to enlighten everyone. First question that arises in our my to see such question is what exactly a genetic engineering is?

What is Genetic Engineering : Genetic engineering is the alteration of genetic code by artificial means, and is therefore different from traditional selective breeding.

Dear there is no college in nepal that offers genetic engineering or biotechnology. If you are desperate to do genetic engineering then you can do it from india.

Few universities in india that offers genetic engineering are given below
• JNU, Delhi
• Delhi University - Delhi
• IPU - Delhi
• Osmania University - Hyderabad
• SRM University - Chennai

GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR FUTURE

Respected sir,
Could you please tell me which of these universities has the best services and where will I be able to gain practical knowledge along with theoritical.

You can try studying Medical in KUSMS. I hear it is pretty good. My brother is currently studying there and is in his 4th year.

This is a pretty old thread but I would still like to comment on it for the sake of others who find this thread.

YOU CAN STUDY GENETIC ENGINEERING IN NEPAL!!

There are undergraduate (Bachelors) level biotechnology programs in Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu University, and Purbanchal University (also in their affiliated colleges).
For your Master's degree, there is an M.Sc in Biotechnology program which also teaches Genetic Engineering.

As for the scope of Biotechnology, it is an emerging field in Nepal and different industries and startups are being established. Plus you can always find work in positions ranging from lab technicians,
(Bachelors) to Associate Researcher (Masters) at Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), Department of Plant Resources (DPR), and Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC), or any other private institutions. You can even startup your own biotech business.

As for the scope of genetic engineers in Nepal, I have to sadly state its impossibility as of right now. Nepal has signed the Cartagena Protocol, which forbids Nepal from manufacturing and dealing with Genetically Engineered (Modified) Organisms (GMOs). It can be done for research purposes, if all the necessary precautions are taken, but for commercialization purposes, the scope is not good. Abroad, there is a tremendous demand for Genetic Engineers but not in Nepal.

But that is not the end of the line. Biotechnology offers a lot of other interesting topics like Plant and Animal Tissue Culture, Biotechnological Diagnosis, Vaccine and Antibiotic Production, etc which has a great scope in Nepal.
