Forensic Science

The labs in the university has following highlights:-
1. At the Department, we have state of the art centrifugal systems, capable of separating important Biomolecules like DNA, Protein and other cellular components to analyze different evidences such as blood recovered from a crime scene.
2. At the Department, we have state of the art facilities of different types of microscopes which can not only help in native visualizations, and analysis via a real time connection with a computer.
3. At the Department, we have state of the art Spectroscopic systems, including UV-VIS Spectrophotometer, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometer [FTIR], interfaced with computer to carry out the sensitive measurements.

Hi sail, You need to have 60 percent aggregate marks in class 12 with either medical or non medical or equivalent. You are eligible for he course if you had Science in class 12. 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. It aims to make the student understand and apply the basic concepts of forensic Biology Chemistry and toxicology in forensic sciences. Make adept to perform procedures as per laboratory standards in the area of forensic toxicology, fingerprint examination and DNA analysis to propose solutions for criminal offence investigation. Enable the student to apply the fundamentals of basic sciences, fingerprint, questioned document examination and DNA fingerprinting technique. Impart basic understanding of criminal law and legal procedures to investigate the criminal offences
The programme gives a detailed knowledge of forensic Chemistry Forensic Toxicology, Forensic Anthropology, Ballistics, Explosives, Forensic Biology Serology, DNA, Fingerprinting and Questioned Documents, Cyber Thrust Areas of research: Analysis of drugs by conventional and modern techniques, security feature analysis, Fingerprinting analysis, studies on dentures for disaster victim identification, and forensic wildlife analysis. Having a degree in forensic one is eligible to apply for the job of lectureship, job in armed forces and central investigative agencies, hospitals and pathology labs. Forensic engineers as
Legal counsellors. Forensic expert. Forensic scientist. Crime scene investigator. Teacher/Professor. Crime reporter. Forensic engineer
Industry certifications, MOOCs, Hackathons / Co-curricular Competitive events, Workshops, Guest lectures, Educational Trips, Live projects, Incubation projects, Community projects, projects with NGOs etc. Are an integral part of the curriculum. Curriculum is well-equipped with courses as per recruitment demands of government and private sectors. Also, the programme fosters research and higher degrees. Laboratory courses in every semester are offered to develop practical skills in students. Interpretation of experimental studies during the course enhances students' capabilities of research and higher studies.

Dear Gopika, You can admission to the B.Sc. In forensic Science after fulfilling the eligibility criteria. My cousin did B.Sc. In Forensic Science at LPU and now working in a Forensic Laboratory with a good salary package. The Forensic Science domain promises to create a research and placement-oriented environment. The department regularly works on student research projects with novel ideas of applied value. The highlights of Forensic Science at LPU include:
Faculty: Highly experienced faculty excellent in terms of their educational background, research, and teaching. Fields of study: Forensic Chemistry Forensic Toxicology, Forensic Anthropology, Ballistics, Explosives, Forensic Biology Serology, DNA, Fingerprinting, and Questioned Documents. Thrust Areas of research: Analysis of drugs by conventional and modern techniques, security feature analysis, Fingerprinting analysis, studies on dentures for disaster victim identification, and forensic wildlife analysis. Unique features: Involvement of multidisciplinary areas, such as Pharmaceutical analysis, biochemistry, biotechnology, Chemistry and many more along with forensic structural engineering, makes it very challenging. List of Few Companies in this Field: Truth labs, Sherlock Institute of Forensic Science (SIFS, Delhi), J. K. Consultancy, IFS (Pune), Panacea Biotech (Chandigarh), Reddys Laboratories, Government organizations. Innovative Pedagogy: Academic tasks such as Class Participation, Design Problem, Term Paper, Assignment, Live examples, AV-aids. Test and Quiz based on various competitive examinations, Case studies on Current research scenarios, moot court sessions, and CSI activities. For more detail, please refer to the LPU website
I hope this helps
Thanks!
