The B.Sc. in Forensic Science program offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that combines core concepts from Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Law to provide a thorough understanding of scientific evidence analysis. Designed with a balance of strong theoretical foundations and extensive hands-on practical training, the program equips students with essential skills needed in modern criminal investigations. Students gain detailed knowledge of crime scene investigation, including evidence collection and preservation, along with advanced analytical techniques such as DNA profiling, fingerprint examination, and forensic toxicology. The curriculum also covers specialised areas like questioned document examination, ballistics, and digital forensics. Taught by an expert faculty of specialists in forensic chemistry, biology, toxicology, and law, the program benefits from world-class infrastructure, including state-of-the-art laboratories, a crime-scene simulation room, a digital forensics lab, and advanced instrumentation. Real-world exposure through field visits to forensic laboratories and law enforcement agencies further enhances practical learning. The program prepares graduates for careers in organisations such as the CBI, CID, NIA, police departments, and private legal firms. Offered as a 3-year degree (B.Sc. Hons. /Research), it is open to students who have completed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology or Mathematics, meeting the required minimum marks. Graduates are well-prepared for roles as forensic experts, crime scene investigators, scientific officers, laboratory analysts, or specialists in cyber forensics, forensic psychology, and DNA analysis, and also possess a strong foundation for higher studies and research at the postgraduate and doctoral levels.
