Hello,

A forensic pathologist must first earn a bachelor's degree, then a medical degree, either an M.D. or D.O. Extensive additional education and training is required, including four to five years of training in anatomic, clinical and/or forensic pathology and a one-year residency or fellowship in forensic pathology.


You must opt Science in Class 12th with the PCB. You must hold an MBBS degree from a recognised medical college. After MBBS, the candidate can go for MD with specialisation in Pathology. B.Sc in Pathology followed by a Master's degree can also help candidates to pursue a career as a Forensic Pathologist.
