About Department

Forensic science is the application of science and technology for the purpose of law, during criminal investigation, as governed by the legal standards of admissible evidence and criminal procedure.. Job of the forensic scientist is to establish a link between the criminal and crime scene by examining the evidence and materials scientifically. Forensic scientists collect, preserve, and analyze scientific evidence during the course of an investigation.While some forensic scientists travel to the scene of the crime to collect the evidence themselves, others occupy a laboratory role, performing analysis on objects brought to them by other individuals. In addition to their laboratory role, forensic scientists testify as expert witnesses in both criminal and civil cases. In this era of technological revolution,criminals use the latest advancements in science to commit a crime. Unfortunately the Indian criminal justice system has a shortage of experts in forensic science who can solve cases with the help of the same modern science and technology. As a result more than two million cases are pending in Indian courts awaiting proper investigation and judgment. This multi disciplinary subject provides the students an excellent exposure to various branches of forensic science such as forensic physics,chemistry ,biology, psychology and law. This course focuses on building the basics skills and education in the students in the field of forensic science. The course also gives a good exposure to rewarding career opportunities to work for various law enforcement agencies as a forensic expert and be a part of the criminal justice system of India.
