The branch of advanced science that is concerned with the wide range of scientific techniques that are applied in changing the genetic material in the DNA code of a living life form is called as Genetic Engineering (GE). Here, the genetic material of an organism is manipulated purposely as to create newer and better beings. One can consider Genetic engineering as one of the divisions of Biotechnology. Experts of this field are called as genetic Engineers. Many educational institutes in India offer students with the graduate & postgraduate level courses in genetic engineering. To get admittance into this course, individuals have to appear for an admission test. A list of a few of those exams is mentioned below.
