School of Forensic Science
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Institute is on its way to start with five-year integrated BSc-MSc programme in forensic science, in line with New NEP Policy 2020 to uproot the Forensic experts from undergraduate level. Our mission as a Forensic science program is to develop professional, ethical graduates whose competence in problem- solving, legal analysis and application, quantitative reasoning, investigation and scientific laboratory procedures can be applied to immediate employment or advanced study. The curriculum of the programme is designed in such a way that it will not only foster laboratory skills but also strengthen the knowledge of basic sciences viz. chemistry, physics, biology. The programme aims to provide a wide vision and knowledge to the students in the field of forensic science which will promote truth and justice in our community, state and nation. This comprehensive program incorporates a unique curriculum that balances knowledge and practice through in field crime scene investigations.
B.Sc. Forensic Science composed of different courses like Criminal law, Crime and Society, Forensic Psychology, Crime Scene Management, Biometrics, Questioned Documents, Forensic Dermatoglyphics which are theoretical curriculum for students. Indoor and outdoor Crime scene investigation, techniques to handle the evidences, maintaining chain of Custody, handling and packaging of evidences, Toxicological, Biological, Chemical are the practical subject area of the course.
During the investigating process, forensic equipment is used to process samples and evidence to solve crimes. On completion of the programme students will apply the Laboratory skills to participate in the career needs of Forensic community. Become trained in the laboratory skills of different division of Forensic Science and will be able to work with different R&D organizations.
