BE Genetic Engineering

Bachelor of Engineering in Genetic Engineering

BE Genetic Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering in Genetic Engineering is an Under-Graduate Genetic engineering course. Genetic engineering, also called genetic modification, is the direct human manipulation of an organism's genome using modern DNA technology. It involves the introduction of foreign DNA or synthetic genes into the organism of interest.

The introduction of new DNA does not require the use of classical genetic methods. However traditional breeding methods are typically used for the propagation of recombinant organisms. The most common form of genetic engineering involves the insertion of new genetic material at an unspecified location in the host genome. The syllabus for the Genetic Engineering course is divided into eight semesters and some electives. The Bachelor of Engineering degree course in Genetic Engineering creates a lot of career scopes for the candidates after the completion of it and its duration is four years.
