Colleges in India generally accept both of these streams for admission in forensic Science courses. Each stream has its advantage. For instance, biology shall help making foundation in study of biological evidence like DNA, serology, toxicology, etc. and a background in maths can make data-heavy subjects and digital forensics easier.

Yes, very much! Germany needs more experts. The job roles are more available in digital forensics and cybercrime. Because more crimes happen online now, both the police and private security firms are looking for people with a postgraduate degree.
