The scope of forensic Science study is vast. You can get jobs in various governments & private sectors. The study will improve your skills and knowledge.

And private agencies. A major chunk of trained forensic scientists are hired by the Intelligence Bureau (IB), the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), etc. Another interesting career, rather the most attractive option for forensic scientists is teaching in institutes which impart education in forensic Science. Though there are plenty of job options for forensic scientists, the major flaw of making a career in it is that most of the jobs come from the government and if someone fails to get a job within a prescribed age there are not many options for such a person; therefore, it seems a tad risky. The work profile or nature of job is tiring which can take toll on the forensic scientist. Working odd and long hours can be difficult. The work of a forensic scientist hovers around the crime scenes which may at times be stressful and emotionally draining. However, stress and emotional distress are part of almost every job so these cannot be considered a constraint to work as forensic scientist.
