Serology and DNA Finger Printing and 4) Digital & Cyber Forensics and IT Security may be
offered subject to the availability of students and by adopting allot ment procedure as mentioned in the
preceding para. Each semester shall have four theory papers and two theory based lab courses ( practical
papers ) related to specialization. In the fourth semester students will carry out Research project/
