Programme Overview

The Diploma in Forensic Science programme in India has emerged in response to the requirement for specialists who are trained and equipped to solve crimes. The one-year programme aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of science that can help them in criminal investigations. Because students will later have to assist at crime scenes, the training aims to expand their intellectual as well as practical understanding. Due to the nation's alarmingly high crime rate, India is in dire need of forensic science experts. Students can choose an occupation that best fits their interests and skill set from among the wide range of careers that are open to them after graduation.
