Dear Manish, The LPU has an amazing infrastructure with experienced faculty giving holistic education to their students. The placement cell is also well-organized and regularly places their candidates into the biggest names in the corporate world. One of my known is in LPU in the same course. Reviews are pretty good. But you need to be wise. Take your decision by yourself. She told me the Forensic Science domain promises to create a research and placement oriented environment. The department regularly works on student research projects with novel ideas of applied value. They have highly experienced faculty excellent in terms of their educational background, research and teaching. Fields of study: Forensic Chemistry, Forensic Toxicology, Forensic Anthropology, Ballistics, Explosives, Forensic Biology, Serology, DNA, Fingerprinting and Questioned Documents. The course is a perfect blend of theory as well as practical, which ensures that a student becomes well versed in the nuances of the subject. The faculty includes some of the best from their fields. Plus, there are regular guest lectures as well as placement opportunities at LPU. The labs too are equipped with the latest apparatus and technology to ensure students can stay up to date with industry standards.

Unique features: Involvement of multidisciplinary areas, such as Pharmaceutical analysis, biochemistry, Biotechnology, chemistry and many more along with forensic structural engineering, makes it very challenging. Academic tasks such as Class Participation, Design Problem, Term Paper, Assignment, Live examples, AV-aids. Test and Quiz based on various competitive examinations, Case studies on Current research scenario, moot court sessions and CSI activities. I think you should not worry about the placements. If you work hard in the course and learn as much as you can, any company visiting the campus would be happy to hire you. However, you must not neglect polishing your communication skills as well, because companies will check that in their interviews.
