The School currently offers B.Sc. Forensic Science, M.Sc. Forensic Science and Ph.D. Forensic Science.
Students should have passed or appeared in 10+2 in the Science stream with Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Mathematics with at least 55% for General/OBC (NCL)/EWS candidates and 50% or equivalent for SC/ST and PwD candidates.
Yes. Biology is one of the accepted subject combinations for the programme.
Yes. Mathematics is also accepted as part of the qualifying Science-stream background.
It applies scientific methods to crime investigation, evidence examination and the interpretation of forensic findings.
It is primarily a science-based programme that applies laboratory and analytical methods to criminal investigations and evidence.
Key areas include crime scene investigation, forensic biology, forensic chemistry, toxicology, ballistics, fingerprint analysis, cyber forensics, criminal law basics and laboratory practicals.
The programme goes deep into forensic biology, serology, toxicology, DNA fingerprinting, criminalistics, digital and cyber forensics, crime-scene reconstruction and forensic psychology.
B.Sc. builds foundational scientific and forensic skills, while M.Sc. develops deeper specialist, analytical and research capabilities.
The Ph.D. is research-focused, with scholars working on specialised forensic problems under academic supervision and completing research and publication-related requirements.
Yes. Practical laboratory work is a central part of the programmes, alongside scientific and theoretical learning.
Yes. Students work through crime-scene simulations and evidence-analysis activities to develop their investigation skills.
Training covers areas such as biological evidence, chemical evidence, fingerprints, toxicological samples, DNA and other crime-scene materials.
Yes. DNA analysis and DNA fingerprinting are included in the forensic curriculum, particularly at the postgraduate level.
Yes. Fingerprint analysis is included among the B.Sc. forensic subjects and practical learning areas.
Yes. Cyber and digital forensics form part of the curriculum, with advanced treatment at the M.Sc. level.
Yes. Evidence handling is an important practical skill developed through forensic laboratory work and crime-scene activities.
Yes. Case studies, discussions, seminars and practical exercises are used alongside classroom and laboratory teaching.
Yes. The programmes include regular internship and practical exposure at different intervals.
The University already has industry connections with Central and State Forensic Science Laboratories, giving students opportunities for exposure to professional forensic work.
Industrial tie-ups with CFSLs and SFSLs and practical exposure through forensic agencies are among the major USPs of Geeta University.
Yes. From time to time Expert talks and industry interaction are conducted as part of its learning experience.
Yes. The School did organize an International Conference on Forensic Science where students gained exposure to developments and experts’ perspectives in the field.
The faculty encompasses academics with special backgrounds in forensic science, physics and related scientific disciplines, along with research experience in areas such as forensic nanotechnology.
No. Teaching combines theory with additional laboratory work, case studies, simulations, discussions, seminars and practical exercises.
Students practise observation, evidence analysis, case interpretation and problem-solving through simulations, laboratory work and forensic case studies.
The programmes include exposure to legal procedures and, at postgraduate level, courtroom-testimony readiness as part of professional preparation.
Yes. Special Emphasis is given to research progressively during the study, with the M.Sc. including dissertation and seminar work and the Ph.D. focusing on independent research.
Graduates can certainly explore roles in forensic laboratories, investigation support, crime-scene work, forensic analysis, law enforcement and related private-sector organisations.
Potential sectors among which Forensic Science graduates can get jobs include Central and State Forensic Science Laboratories, crime branches, police and investigation agencies, defence, courts, narcotics departments, universities and private forensic organisations.
Yes. Forensic laboratories are a major career pathway, with roles depending on the student's qualification, specialisation and the employer's recruitment method used.
M.Sc. graduates can pursue specialist forensic, investigation, research, academic and legal-support roles, or continue to doctoral research down the line.
Yes. M.Sc. graduates with minimum 55% marks can pursue Ph.D. Forensic Science and research in specialised forensic domains.
