Page 3 of 47Preamble
In a world where crime is incessantly improvising and rapidly evolving; it calls for equally
competent minds and tools to solve it. Aiming towards the dream of a crime free society not
only promises safety to the people but also fosters the progress of the nation. To achieve
this, there are Central, State and Regional Laboratories by the Public sector; with many
private laboratories and agencies recently operational in the country. There are also various
public organizations such as Intelligence Bureau (IB), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI)
and the crime branch-Central Investigation Department (CID) in the country. To provide
them with experts who are efficient, able and competent is the goal of the Institute.
Department of Higher and Technical Education, Government of Maharashtra has started
three Institutes of Forensic Science at Aurangabad, Mumbai and Nagpur to cater the need of
quality human resources in the field of forensic sciences in the year 2009 and 2011. A study
committee was appointed in 2021 to revise and update the syllabus of B.Sc. of all three
Institutes and implement content similarity in all the three Institutes in the state. The study
committee was comprised of experts from various subjects from Directorate of Forensic
Science Laboratory, academic subject experts from the three Institutes and from other
sectors. Accordingly, the curriculum of the B.Sc. course was revised and designed with the
advice of the experts in the field and ensures the students are equipped with adequate skills
and knowledge to provide expertise in the respective fields after successful completion of
the course. It also encourages them to develop critical thinking and analytical skills, new
ideas and strategies for effective crime solving.
The first-year syllabus are designed to get the students acquainted with the knowledge,
laws and principles of basic sciences like biology, physics, chemistry and psychology in order
to lay down foundations for its application in the field of Forensic Science in successive
years.
