I am a student of std 11th... i would further like to take genetic engineering as my career... could you tell me what is the % required to get into it? which subjects should i opt for? how great is the scope of it?

Hello friend,
Biology with genetics as its part and Maths are the subjects which you must have in your +2 to pursue genetic engineering. To pursue bachelor degree programme from IIT, you will have to appear for IIT JEE. You have to score a minimum of 60%(for general/OBC) or 55%(for SC/ST), in the +2 examination.
Genetic engineering will provide you opportunity to work in medical and pharmaceutical industries, the agricultural sector.Apart from these industries one can also work in the the research and development departments of the government and private sectors. Its true that there is huge demand for such engineers but to make a successful career in this field, you must go for higher studies in this field.

hi..
u need to score more than 70% in ur 12th and have subjects of biology and life scinces in ur 12th to get qualifide foe genetic enginnering.


good luck.

hi friend,

The basic eligibility criteria for a graduate degree (BE / B.Tech) is 10+2 or equivalent examination, with Biology, Chemistry and Mathematics as well as genetics as part of the biology OR a bachelors degree in science or molecular biology. Percentage is not of concern today but appearing in JEE , will make you eligible only if you have got more than 60% in 12th for gen. or 55% for sc/st.
Selection to the graduate courses ( BE / B.Tech ) is based on merit i.e the marks secured in the final exams of 10+2 and through entrance exams. Entrance to the IIT's is through JEE (Joint Entrance Exam) and for other institutions through their own separate entrance exams and other state level and national level exams. Apart from the IIT's, some other famous institutes also recognize JEE scores for selection.
Research and teaching are the only two field into which you can go in future. You can be a lecturer in any govt. college or can be a scientist in a govt. organisation.

you must be a biology,physics,chemistry or genetics student in puc.In colleges candidates are selected on the basis of there merit obtained in the qualifying exams.60% must be the aggregate.

In order to join genetic engineering you must clear you 12th with minimum 60% aggregate for IIT JEE and 35% for AIEEE.

In india if you want to get into top genetic engineering college then you have to tak up entrance test such as IIT JEE and AIEEE. After you clear these entrance test you will be eligible to take admission to the genetic engg course.

So prepare hard for the entrance test and i am sure you will crack it if you work hard on it. For genetic engineering a good rank is a must in both exams

For doing genetics first you need to have good command on the science subjects which are maths, biology, chemistry,and physics,
You need to score reaaly high marks in your 10+2.
After this you need to appear for IIT exam nad through this way you can join it.
but one thing is for sure that the there is better chances for these courses in foreign counrties as in India its only in growth phase.

Dear friend,
For Genetic engineering you will have to qualify entrance exam like IIT-JEE , AIEEE and other also but before that you have to score good marks in 12th like 60% or more than 60%. there are very good scope in private industries.

all the best

Genetic Engineering is a part of Biotechnology. These studies the structure and everything related to DNA and genes in detail. You need to have PCB (Physics, Chemistry and Biology) as main subjects in your +2. Either you can join any research institutes or get into teaching profession if you get into this field.

It is compulsory to have maths ( 2) to join the field of genetic engineering?

i have choosen pcm in 2 so cant i have any scope in genetic engineering????

Yes, you can go for genetic engineering but it would have been better if you had PCBM as life science is also neede but need not to woory you are eligible for it

is there any scope for non-med stu also opted biotechnoloy as optional

i have pcb as my subject ...am i eligible for genetic engineering?? is it compulsory take maths?

without giving IITJEE and AIEEE can we go into genetic engeneering?

Is it necessary to have maths in 2 for genetic eng.?

is it compulsary to have maths to qaulified for genetic engineering?

I am a student of std 11th... i would further like to take genetic engineering as my career... could you tell me what is the % required to get into it? which subjects should i opt for? how great is the scope of it?[/QUOTE]
I would like to know the graduation(4 Years) options with my subject

i m in class 12 an i want to go in gentics field buut i m hvng pcb as my subject i m not hving math wht should do

is it necessary to give IITJEE to get admission for genetic engineering

can u list me best genetic engineering colleges in india i m in 12th now.

what will be the percentage required to appear a gate exam?

reply to my mail [email protected]

I am studying in 12th class with PCB subjects. I want to opt genetic engineering as my carrier field, please tell me, weather I am eligible for the admission in the genetic engineering or not?

i am a 12th student with PCBM subjects .i dont like maths. can i join in genetic engineering. what are the cutoff subjects for genetic engineering

what are the groups available for11?

thanks

I have just complited the 10th.
i choose genetic engineering as my career..
plz can tell me the steps to be the genetic engineer?
and the best collages for genetic enginering after 12th...

i needed to study B.E Genetic engineeering.can you direct me.is it nessesary to study any degree courses?
is maths a subject in b.e genetic engineering?what is future scopes in it?

is bio necessary for genetic engg.

need to score more than 70% in ur 12th and have subjects of biology and life scinces in ur 12th to get qualifide foe genetic enginnering.

is ter scope for genetics

Im not doing maths....do i have a chance to prosper in genetic engineering?

i have taken bilogy,math and EVM...do i hav a scope in genetic engineering??

i have completed my 12th with 90% .. i wish to continue my further studies in genetic engeneering.. can you please tell me which entrance exam should i appear for.???

if have any private sector of g.e.
