Genetic Engineering

Hi Nandita Choudhury,
Abroad is a vast term, you have to first decide where to study. So, start by searching for the countries and universities, and shortlist them. Check the admission requirements, fee and narrow down your choice. Depending on where you want to apply you have to take tests like SAT TOEFL or IELTS, etc. If you want scholarship then its given on merit and determined by the universities themselves based on their norms and criteria. Excellent academic grades, extracurricular activities, SOP, LOR, etc. Are all required both for admission and scholarship. So, for now, use the internet and look for universities you might be interested to study in.

There is not much comparison that can be made between the two even by a vivid stretch of imagination as both careers are worlds apart.
If you love animals and Science, then you might want be a veterinarian. Veterinarians are basically animal doctors who diagnosis and prescribe treatments for animals.
The physicians who treat human being when they are sick are called doctors and those who treat animals when they are sick or injured are called vets (veterinarians). Veterinary medicine covers all types of animals either it is domesticated or wild. It is the field of Medical Courses.
Genetic Engineering is also referred as genetic modification. It is a process of manually adding new DNA to a living organism through artificial methods.
Genetic Engineering is a method of physically removing a gene from one organism and inserting it to another and giving it the ability to express the qualities given by that gene.

B.Sc. in Genetics: What is it About?
Genetics is the field of medicine that explores concepts and processes of heredity, genetic variation, and genes in living beings. It is also known called the science of heredity.
The discipline involves sub- sections such as Microbiology, Cell Biology, Biochemistry, Model Organisms, Microscopy, Cytogenetics, Mendelian Genetics & Biometry, Genetic Engineering, Molecular Genetics, Cloning and Biotechnology, among others.
B.Sc. in Genetics: Who should opt?
Candidates aspiring to pursue the course would ideally be proficient in:
Science - Using scientific rules and methods to solve problems.
Critical Thinking - Using logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions or approaches to problems.
Active Learning - Understanding the implications of new information for both current and future problem-solving and decision-making.
Monitoring - Monitoring/ assessing ones own and other individuals and organizations performances to make improvements or take corrective action.
Judgment and Decision Making - Considering the relative costs and benefits of potential actions to choose the most appropriate one.
Eligibility for B.Sc. in Genetics
The basic criterion of eligibility needed to be met for admission to the course is a Higher Secondary (10+2) or equivalent qualification from a recognized educational Board, with Physics, Chemistry and Biology as main subjects and a minimum aggregate score of 50%.
