They both are different degrees. M.ScCriminology is more related law and criminal proceedings and M.Sc. Forensic Science is an application of all Science to help in the criminal investigation like collection and analysis of evidence.

Hi Anshika,
After M.Sc Forensic Science there are many job prospects which opens up for you such as you can go with forensic laboratory work in under Indian government, or join criminal investigation department and even pursue Ph.D after that depending on your interest. All you need is to keep looking for jobs and apply for them. After applying take a follow up. You can give various government exams related to forensics. Good luck.

According to me, M.Sc in forensic Science has better scope, better salary and is more in demand. Very soon, the scope will go wider as the government has approved, to open some more forensic labs throughout India.

For forensic science, you need to have a Bachelors degree in Science or equivalent qualification. With BCA, it won't be possible to go for this course.

Your situation seems to be just like mine. I am a graduate in BCA. Now I want to do forensics. Most of the universities that I have searched require a 3 year degree, whereas for atleast 2 years you should have studied bio/phy/che/maths (atleast 2 subjects) or a degree in forensics. I will let you know if I succeed in finding the one that suits the situation.

Forensic Scientists analyze, identify and classify physical evidence relating to criminal or suspected cases of crime. They investigate to look for evidence which are tested in laboratories and records prepared for each case. Forensic Science is interdisciplinary and includes investigative Science related to Explosives, Narcotics, Ballistics, Lie Detection, DNA Fingerprinting, Cyber/ Computer, Document Examination etc. Get more information: https://www.shiksha.com/science/forensic-science-chp.
