Forensic Science is an amalgamation of almost all faculty members of knowledge. It is an essential and efficient enabler in the dispensation of justice in criminal, civil, regulatory and social contexts. Currently, a few government and private universities offer courses in forensic Science. However, there is a need for improvement in the quality of education as well as training & research in the field of forensic sciences. So far most jobs in the field of forensic Science were in the government sector. A few NGO'S and private organisations like the Institute of Road Traffic Education (IRTE) are trying to fill in those gaps by offering courses such as Masters in Forensic Sciences. People with degrees in forensic Science are in high demand at various law enforcement agencies such as the police force, the legal system, the investigative services of the central government and state governments.
