Unveiling the mysteries enclosed by our genes requires sophisticated techniques and profound knowledge of science, biology and related areas. Basic knowledge of science subjects is thus deemed necessary to pursue this course. If you are an aspiring student looking forward to build a career in Genetics, you would have to opt for Physics, Chemistry and Biology as your primary subjects in class 12th.
There are a lot of colleges that provide a three-year B.sc or 4-year B.Tech in Genetic Engineering. Alternatively, students can also opt for life sciences and biology courses at the undergraduate level, and go on for an M.Sc. in the Genetics field. You will also have the option to pursue a doctoral degree (PhD) further on. Some colleges that offer UG & PG courses in Genetics are: The Oxford College of Science (Bengaluru) Guru Nanak Dev University (Amritsar) Bangalore City College (Bengaluru) Avanthi Degree College (Hyderabad) University of Calicut (Calicut) Garden City College (Bengaluru) Institute of Genetic Engineering, Kolkata
