B.Tech-Genetics Engineering


Why B.Tech-Genetics Engineering

What is B.Tech in Genetic Engineering?

Genetic Engineering is a technology that alters the genetic structure of an organism either by removing or adding DNA. Genetic Engineering, also called genetic modification or genetic manipulation controls the living being's genes using biotechnology. It is an arrangement of innovations used to change the hereditary forms of cells, including the exchange of qualities inside and across species limits to create enhanced or novel living beings. Genetic engineering could potentially fix severe genetic disorders in humans by replacing the defective gene with a functioning one.

Genetic Engineering has been connected in various fields of research, medicine, industrial biotechnology, and agriculture. In research, GMOs are utilized to contemplate quality capacity and articulation through loss of function, gain of function, tracking and expression experiments. By thumping out genes responsible for specific conditions it is possible to create animal model organisms of human diseases. And in addition to producing hormones, immunizations and different drugs genetic engineering can fix hereditary diseases through quality treatment. Similar strategies that are utilized to create medications can likewise have mechanical applications, for example, producing enzymes for detergents, cheeses, and different products.

Why Study B.Tech in Genetic Engineering?

Genetic engineering could potentially fix severe genetic disorders in humans by replacing the defective gene with a functioning one. It is an important tool in research that allows the function of specific genes to be studied.

Scope of Genetic Engineering:

                 Genetic engineering is one of the most widely pursued courses in India, with numerous career aspects in both private and government sector at various entry levels, wherein an undergraduate or postgraduate student can easily find work as a research assistant or as lab manager, PhD scholars can join the university as lecturers while continuing their postdoctoral training alongside.

                 To be a genetic engineering scientist, you just need a doctoral degree in biological sciences. On the completion of the program, one can get work in the R&D departments of various Government Institutions.

                  India being a hub of generic medicines, there are tons of job opportunities in medical and pharmaceutical industries, genetic engineering firms, and chemical industries with salaries varying anywhere between Rs. 8-12 lakhs p.a. (Approx.). If anyone chooses to work in research labs of various reputed universities, one day, you may even be administering a whole research project fully funded by the state.
