Forensic sciences basically deal with the handling of toxicological specimens as well as conducting autopsies are related to the preservation of organs which may or may not particularly directly deal with the management of crime scene specimen of medicolegal issues but definitely incorporates skills of toxicology and knowledge of basics of foreign 6 where is for a person to pursue forensic medicine is more of application of such knowledge to the administration of justice and may have to give evidence in court every now and then to prove the report she has made after being examined by forensic science expert such as a fingerprint expert or a ballistic expert
for forensic sciences you just need to pursue BSc degree and for forensic medicine you need to clear the Neet PG examination and get a forensic medicine seat in some medical college which give such a degree

Hey Midhuna!

Yes, there are a couple differences between Forensic Sciences and Forensic Medicine.

Forensic scientists and medical technicians may both work with biological samples that need to be tested, but their work is actually very different. 

Forensic scientists participate in criminal investigations, while medical technicians perform medical tests that are used to help diagnose patients.

Now,
Forensic Medicine will require a doctors degree. For that you will have to give NEET and get selected. Forensic Sciences requires a BSc. 
Hope this helps!
