Overview

 
 

M.Sc., Forensic science program is a multidisciplinary field that involves the application of scientific principles and techniques to investigate and solve crimes. It encompasses a wide range of scientific and technical disciplines to gather and analyse evidence from crime scenes. Forensic science plays a crucial role in the criminal justice system, helping to solve crimes, establish the guilt or innocence of individuals, and ensure the fair and just administration of the law. It also has applications in other fields, including disaster victim identification, 

accident reconstruction, and historical research. Forensic science plays a critical role in the criminal justice system, helping to solve crimes, identify suspects, exonerate the innocent, and ensure that justice is served. It combines the principles of various scientific disciplines with investigative techniques to provide objective, scientifically-based information for legal proceedings. The graduates of forensic science would be able to establish facts and support legal investigations by providing unbiased and reliable scientific analysis.
