Hey,

Forensic science is a very interesting field which gives you opportunity to convert clues into evidence.It indeed is challenging where you get to work hand in hand with the police and detectives.

Forensic scientists apply scientic techniques and principles to investigate crimes.They collect traces of blood,hair,fingerprint or anything from the scene of crime and using scientific technology find evidences which can be used in a court of law.

To become a forensic scientist,you need a graduate degree in relevant subjects like physics,chemistry,zoology,botany,biochemistry,

B.pharma etcetera with atleast first division after which one can get enrolled in the institutions which offer Masters in Forensic science.But if you want to become a specialist who conducts post-mortems on dead bodies,one must secure a MBBS degree and then go for an MD in Forensic Science.

Opportunities for forensic scientists exist in government organizations like Intelligence Bureau,CBI and as investigative officers in the crime cells of state police services.

Hope this helps.
