Forensic Science

The National Forensic Sciences University (NFSU) admission process for the B.Sc.+ M.Sc. in Forensic Science program is based on the entrance exam and the candidate's score in the GATE exam. The university prepares two separate merit lists, one for each of these criteria. 50% of the seats are filled based on the GATE score. 

The eligibility criteria for the B.Sc.+ M.Sc. in Forensic Science program at NFSU are: 

The candidate must have passed or appeared in 10+2 (or its equivalent) in Science with at least 60% for General/OBC/EWS category candidates

The candidate must have passed or appeared in 10+2 (or its equivalent) in Science with at least 55% or equivalent for SC/ST and PwD category candidates

Your already specialised with a master's degree in Forensic Science in Forensic Chemistry and Toxicology can enter many career directions in law enforcement, research, and health. 

Most careers in the field include forensic chemists, toxicologists, lab analysts, or forensic experts under agencies of the government, like the police, CBI, or forensic laboratories. The private sector also counts on its own job openings with companies that offer forensic services, toxicology testing, or drug-testing services.

 There are hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and research organizations dealing with toxicology, which you can check for job postings. 

The university - GRD Group of Colleges - has no mention of course fees for B.Sc. in Forensic Science on its official website. However, going by the general expectation based on similar careers being pursued at the institution, the usual fees payable for undergraduate courses in GRD Group of Colleges were expected to be between INR 50,000 to 70,000 per academic year.

To get the exact cost of fees, it is better to visit CGDC in person. The B.Sc. in Forensic Science at GRD Group will also equip students with theoretical and practical knowledge for crime scene investigation and laboratory work.

 The course lays the groundwork for various opportunities for students in national and foreign governmental agencies and laboratories.

Most of the time, admission into the B.Sc. Forensic Science program at the Institute of Forensic Science, Mumbai, is based on the marks obtained at HSC (12th) and other eligibility criteria for the course.

As a rule of thumb, admission is based on a minimum percentage of 50% at HSC or equivalent examinations with subjects in Science (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology or Mathematics) related to it. It, therefore, remains almost completely dependent on the applicants and their final selection number of seats available.

If you score beyond the cut-off as per HSC, it is that you may get into the program; however, it is recommended again to find updates about specific cut-offs or eligibility (eg. entrance tests or interviews).
