OBJECTIVE OF THE PROGRAM

The term Forensic science normally describes the science of “associating people, places, and things involved in criminal activities”. It play significant role in detection of crime and identification of offender. Accordingly, “forensic science” is used as an appropriate term for the profession which explain scientific questions in judicial processes and helps in ensuring justice. The history of forensic science in India encompasses a broad spectrum of sciences to answer questions of interest to the legal system. Development of Forensic Science and its intrinsic relating with criminal justice administration in detection of crime and identification of offenders is dependent upon creating more professionals. M.Sc. in Forensic Science is an attempt to fulfil such need in India. There are ample job opportunities available for those interested in pursuing a career in forensic science and a degree in this field can provide the foundation for a successful and exciting career.
