No, it's not possible for you get admission for criminology after completing 12th standard in commerce stream. You need to be from science background to be eligible for this course.

If you want to study crime then go for law after your 12th.

They both are different degrees. M.ScCriminology is more related law and criminal proceedings and M.Sc. Forensic Science is an application of all Science to help in the criminal investigation like collection and analysis of evidence.

According to me, M.Sc in forensic Science has better scope, better salary and is more in demand. Very soon, the scope will go wider as the government has approved, to open some more forensic labs throughout India.

M.Sc. In criminology is not offered in IGNOU.

Madras University offers BA in Criminology and Police Administration through distance.
