Hello! Eligibility for admission is Pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with English, Physics, Chemistry and Maths or Biology or Biotechnology) or equivalent. The programme at LPU deals with theoretical and practical background in all the areas of criminalistics which demonstrates proficiencies in laboratory skills like forensic molecular biology, forensic chemistry and toxicology. Due to increase in crime rate and criminals, the scope of Forensic Science is increased exponentially. There are lots of job opportunities in the field of Forensic Science. The need of forensic scientists is huge all around the world, especially in India. Some of the forensic scientists visit the crime scene to collect the evidence themselves and another one work in a forensic laboratory to perform analysis on objects.

A trained forensic scientist may hire by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) & Intelligence Bureau (IB). You can also work as a freelancer as forensic scientists specializing in one segment & can be paid much. You can also work as a legal counselor after gaining experience as a Forensic Scientist. Teaching is another interesting career for forensic scientists. You can work in the institutions that impart education in forensic Science. Candidates have a degree, they can explore the career in Forensic Science in the USA and other developed countries. Below are some of the top designations in the field of forensic Science: Investigative officers Legal counselors Forensic Expert Forensic Scientist Crime Scene Investigator Teacher / Professor Crime Reporter Forensic Engineer Law Consultant Handwriting Expert I hope it helps.
