Hello,

Yes, you can pursue an MSc in Forensic Science after completing a BSc in Biotechnology, as many universities accept science graduates for this program. Your BSc in Biotechnology provides a strong foundation for fields like forensic biology and serology, and you can pursue this degree by meeting the specific eligibility criteria of different universities, which typically include a maximum aggregate percentage and sometimes require entrance exams.

I hope it will clear your query!!

Hello

B. Sc. Biotechnology gives you strong lab skills, biology knowledge, and analytical thinking, which match perfectly with forensic science requirements.

Most universities accept a B. Sc . Biotech students for M. Sc . Forensic Science because the field needs students with biology and lab backgrounds.

For Criminology, some colleges allow science graduates, but a few prefer psychology/sociology. Still, Biotech students are eligible for many institutes. You may need to clear entrance tests depending on the college.

Hope this information will help you.

Yes, you can definitely pursue an M.Sc. in Forensic Science and Criminology after a B.Sc. in Biotechnology. But you also need to check the eligibility, like the minimum percentile and any specific subject prerequisites, in the universities you are aiming for.

Hope it helps!!!
