Hi,
At present, most of the universities/institutes do not offer courses in genetic engineering as a separate discipline, but as a subsidiary to biotechnology, microbiology, biochemistry streams. Undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Biotechnology offer specialisation in genetic engineering. After Plus Two, you can gain admission for B.Tech. in Genetic Engineering/Biotechnology/ Biochemical Engineering through an entrance test. Another option is to undergo three-year BSc degree course in Genetics / Biological Science / Life Science / Biotechnology subjects and then go for post graduation in genetics. Only SRM Institute of Science and Technology (www.srmuniv.ac.in) has introduced a four-year B.Tech. course in Genetic Engineering on the Ramapuram campus. Those who have passed 10 + 2 / equivalent examination with a minimum aggregate of 50 per cent marks in biology, physics and chemistry are eligible for admission. Selection is based on an all-India level entrance test. Selection to the graduate courses (BE / B.Tech) is based on merit i.e the marks secured in the final exams of 10+2 and through entrance exams. University of Pune offers M.Sc Biotechnology with genetics as an subject. The admission is on the basis of a Combined Entrance Examination conducted by Jawaharlal Nehru University.
Hope this helps. All the best.

Hi Sonal, UGC approved only Universities. UGC stands for University Grants Commission.
IILM offers 2 types of programs. PGDM and MBA. For your information PGDM is a diploma but MBA is degree. Degree is always offered by a university only. Diploma can be offered by a college. IILM comes under Utter Pradesh Technical University. So your MBA degree will be recognized by the university but if you select PGDM the you will get diploma only and not degree and that diploma will be affiliated by AICTE. Moreover, in corporate sector it does not matter whether you have a diploma or degree. However if you are looking for a govt. job then you should go for degree program because some govt. job requires degree only and not diploma. I hope it cleared your doubts.
