B.Sc. Forensic Science & Computer Science

Overview

This programme is an interdisciplinary undergraduate programme that integrates the scientific rigor of forensic science with the technological depth of computer science. Students benefit from modern, discipline-specific laboratories equipped for crime-scene simulation, microscopy, spectrophotometry, serology, and digital forensics, alongside well-developed computing facilities for programming, databases, and cybersecurity. The programme provides a strong foundation in evidence analysis, investigative methods, and computational problem-solving, preparing students for careers at the intersection of science, technology, and law enforcement.

The B.Sc is a three year degree programme. However, as per the provisions of the new National Education Policy (NEP 2020), a student may continue into the fourth year and earn a B.Sc Honours degree.
