“Uncover the genetic discoveries to yield great scientific implications!”

How is it that some people have blue coloured eyes, while others have brown? Why are few people fairer as compared to others? Why are some children born obese or with an inherent mental disorder?

The answers to all these questions lie in Genes.

Genes are the basic units of heredity and determine how traits such as eye colour, hair colour, facial features and predisposition to diseases are passed on from one generation to the other.

Genetics, the study of these genes and their variations, is now a blooming field in India and is reaching new heights. It is an upcoming field of science and technology that can open a vast number of opportunities for students. So, let us take you through its career path, colleges, opportunities and more.

  1. It is all about passion for life sciences

    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.

  1. Some colleges and courses you can eye for

    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
