Genetic Engineering is related to manipulation of DNA, the genetic material deliberately of a living organism in artificial way. This course involves insertion of new genetic material at an unspecified location in the host genome by isolating and copying the genetic component. The B.tech genetic Engineering tuition fees is from Rs.40K to 1.50L per year approximately and is varied from college to college. The course duration for B.E/B.tech Genetic engineering course is around 4 years.
