How can i become a forensic scientist after my 12th in pcb

hello priya,

Forensic Science is an interdisciplinary branch of science that is the perfect amalgamation of the essence of all the science subjects i.e. chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics.

Forensic Science course after 12th, BSc Forensic Science is offered as a 3-year undergraduate course and imparts students with the knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. You will be equipped with essential understanding and skills required to make a career in Forensic Science especially Document Verification, Handwriting Analysis, Criminal Photography , etc which will come handy in solving crimes.

Be it any forensic science course after 12th that you are looking forward to applying for, it is important to thoroughly check the eligibility criteria. To help you with what all is required before applying for a forensic science course, we have listed down below all the important points that you need to keep in mind-

Basic qualification of 10+2 with BiPC subjects from a recognised board

A good score in English language proficiency exams like IELTS, TOEFL , etc

Hi,
After 12th with PCM/ PCB a student can pursue a undergraduate course in forensic science. Some of the courses at undergraduate level are B.Sc Forensic Science , B.Sc Physics. Chemistry & Forensic Science , B.Sc Life Sciences, Chemistry & Forensic Science. To get admission in B.Sc Forensic Science one should have completed 12th with PCM/ PCB. However to pursue B.Sc Physics, Chemistry & Forensic Science one must have done 12+2 with PCM subjects. Whereas to pursue B.Sc Life Sciences , Chemistry & Forensic sciences one should have studied PCB/ PCMB.

You can refer to the above eligibility criteria.

All the best!
