Because most of the Forensic Science Labs asks for experience even at the entry level, the pay scale is very poor compared to other fields and the students from Physics and Chemistry backgrounds are given preference over Pure Forensic Science students.
Dear Ashnish, as you know the forensic science is not a single subject but it is an conglomeration of numerous subjects you have to catch one of the specialty and have expertise of that so that you can apply for that.. I have never been in support of a Msc or Bsc Forensic Science from very beginning till date. There should have been MSc forensic physics(Ballistics), Forensic Physics (Physical), Msc ( Forensic Photography), Msc Forensic Chemistry (Analytical Toxicology), Msc Forensic Chemistry ( Narcotic Analysis) Msc (Forensic Biology ) so on and so forth, with present qualification you will not be able to do justice with any specialty I doubt. It will be shear matter of luck if you get some good position. There could be one way that you join PhD at a good place and get specialized area so that you become master of that area, so that you get selected whenever the vacancy is available in area of your specialization.
In my m.sc final year, i had forensic biology and serology as my specialization.
In that case you may proceed for specialization in Forensic Biology, but due to DNA the biology demand is falling. However you may get PhD in Biology from some good institution where they are engaged in practical work of Forensic Biology, do not go for pure academic forensic science department, most of them are good for nothing, except awarding Msc and BSc graduate and pstgraduates.
Hi There Any hope for a Forensic Psychology and Forensic Graphologist like Me with 4years experience employment Is difficult inThis Field as yet
Theoretically there is lot of scope but practically I have hardly seen any position being advertised in India. And very few expert like me uses the Graphology for reconstruction of scene or event. IN INDIA.
Sir How and when will Young People like myself who wanan make a career in forensic get a chance I go to The fsl with my MSc Forensic Psychology I dont Get any hope when sir
According to me Recruiting agencies should take a step and they should sent a clear notice to the universities who are offering M.Sc or B.Sc in Forensic Science, when they are not going to entain the students with these qualifications and there should be Speacilization at the primary level
You are correct fault is with those who started these courses to run their shops, without thinking about the future of the young people, this world is very mean.

Hei dont loose ur heart.....keep up ur spirit.... They will realise sooner than later, that they were so damn wrong in the selection process.....
Dear Fatema, Dear Badiye,
In the developing world, the opportunities are few and seekers are numerous, I am the one who believe that competition is the genesis of corruption, there is nothing like healthy competition, it is always unhealthy.
A balance between demand and supply has to be there, which we never think off. So it is bound to happen it has happened with me, you and it will happen with others. There is no solution in sight. You also try the same as others, That what I can say I do not want to you keep in fools paradise of hope.
Yes i have understood That part SIR, and Thus now whenever I get a query from my student about pursueing this course i give Them the right picture I did it becoz I love the Subject and job was and will be just to Help make it more Lovely I know it will take long long long years To Make This right hOPEFULLy Since doctors never loose hope. all the best all in forensic the Subject is lovely but our system doesnt deserve us yet.
and dear ashish My jefersonian is coming up soon and You have to be the sero head
sure Dr. Fatema :) U can trust me with that :) do keep me informed and let me know in what ways I can be helpful.
I hope in upcoming years there will be a need of forensic scientist not even govt. sector but more in private/corporate world.......I also want to say that students should take initiative and try to make their own demand...............they can start their own practice like as private detective/investigator, expert, fraud examiner etc....here in Ahmadabad, Gujarat i m trying for same and I hope i will get success in it.....sorry to be late answer to all but this conversation should be continue..........
