Expert testimony is a skill most forensic graduates encounter without preparation. The first time they are cross-examined on a lab finding, it is in front of an actual court.

College of Traffic Management and Forensic Sciences addresses this through its on-campus Road Safety Court of Justice, a functional courtroom where students present forensic findings, respond to cross-examination, and work through how scientific evidence is evaluated in a legal proceeding. For MSc students who already hold a forensic science qualification, the moot court fills the gap the laboratory alone cannot. It teaches the translation from analytical work to expert testimony.

The 2026-27 admissions cycle for the B.Sc.-M.Sc. Forensic Science (5-Year Integrated Programme) and the M.Sc. Forensic Science (2-Year Programme) is open. 30 seats in each.

CTM graduates are now working in government forensic labs, private cybersecurity firms, university departments, and healthcare institutions. The range reflects what a curriculum built around applied skill actually produces. Students from College of Traffic Management and Forensic Sciences have joined 19 organisations across these fields.

Placement organisations include 3rd Eye Techno Solutions, Cyint Technologies, Forensic Guru, FSL Maduban, FSL Rohini, GLA University, Hawk Eye Forensic Lab, Income Tax Department Hyderabad, ISOAH Data Securities, Jawaharlal Nehru College, Mary Matha College of Arts and Science, Momentum India, NBFTools, Orion Security Solutions, Regional Forensic Science Laboratory Ajmer, RFSL Kota, Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth Pondicherry, State Forensic Science Laboratory Kerala, and Vcheck Global India.

Admissions are open for the B.Sc.-M.Sc. Forensic Science (5-Year Integrated Programme) and the M.Sc. Forensic Science (2-Year Programme). 30 seats in each.

In September 2025, students at CTM heard from two people who work at opposite ends of the same process.

Mr. Pramod Saxena, Advocate at the Supreme Court of India and former Additional Public Prosecutor for the Government of NCT at the Delhi High Court, spoke on how forensic evidence is received, examined, and tested in a courtroom. The following day, Mr. Pratham Saini, Scientific Assistant in the Crime Scene Management Division at the Delhi Crime Branch, spoke on how that same evidence is gathered before it ever reaches one.

Understanding both ends of the investigative process is not common in forensic science education. Most programmes cover one or the other in passing. At CTM, students encounter them as linked stages of the same work, taught by people doing that work.

The MSc Forensic Science programme and the BSc-MSc Forensic Science integrated programme at CTM are affiliated with the National Forensic Sciences University. Admissions for 2026–27 are open through CUET PG and CUET UG respectively.

On 6 May, we said goodbye to the MSc Forensic Science batch of 2024–26.

Two years ago, this group walked into CTM as science graduates. They left with two years of hands-on training behind them. That training took them to crime scenes with the Delhi Crime Branch, into polygraph examination sessions led by practitioners, into Wildlife Crime Control Bureau sessions on AFIS and NAFIS, and to DDU Hospital for postmortem observation. The classroom was just one part of their education. The rest happened in the field.

CTM students have gone on to work with government forensic science laboratories, private forensic labs, and cyber forensic firms across India.

This batch leaves CTM at a time when demand for trained forensic science professionals across government laboratories and private agencies continues to grow. We look forward to watching where the next chapter takes them.

CTM offers an MSc Forensic Science programme and a BSc-MSc Forensic Science integrated programme, both affiliated with the National Forensic Sciences University. Admissions for 2026–27 are open through CUET PG and CUET UG respectively.

Cyber crime complaints registered with India's National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal crossed 1.5 million in 2023, a 61 per cent rise on the year before. Trained forensic investigators are in short supply across the country. That shortage is structural, rooted in how forensic science education in India has traditionally centred on the physical crime scene. Those disciplines remain essential, but the crime scene has moved, and a large part of it now lives on a device or a network log.

The National Forensic Sciences University recognised this early. In the third year of the integrated programme, students work through Digital Forensics and Cyber Law alongside Information Security Audit. In Semester 7, Cyber Forensics becomes a full standalone specialisation.

At College of Traffic Management and Forensic Sciences (CTM), that specialisation sits within a programme built around real casework. Students work alongside police departments and mobile forensic units, with fieldwork built into the curriculum, including Industry exposure on real-time challenges. The career outcomes begin in their 3rd semester onwards, spanning digital forensic labs and security agencies, with corporate employers also represented.

The shortage of trained cyber forensic investigators in India is a career opening. The question is whether the programme you choose positions you to walk through it.

The most direct answer to whether a forensic science degree is worthwhile comes from where graduates actually go, rather than from what any institution says about itself.

Graduates from the BSc–MSc integrated programme at CTM move into forensic science laboratories as Scientific Officers and Scientific Assistants. Others build independent practice in fingerprint analysis and questioned document examination, areas where private forensic laboratories, banks, law firms, and insurance agencies commission work on a steady basis. A portion go into research and academia. The range of outcomes is wider than the field's general reputation suggests.

Fieldwork runs through both programmes from the start. Students work alongside police through structured internships and gain exposure to investigative procedures that extend beyond classroom instruction.

The NFSU affiliation carries institutional weight with government recruiters. CTM operates within that structure as a campus in the NCR, with access to advanced laboratory facilities and faculty whose primary work is in forensic science.

CUET PG results are out and CUET UG is approaching. The campus decision is worth making before exam season ends and application windows open.

NFSU replaced NFAT with CUET for the 2026–27 admissions cycle. Students who wrote CUET PG this year already have their entry point into an NFSU forensic science programme. Students registered for CUET UG, which begins in May, are weeks away from theirs. CTM, the College of Traffic Management and Forensic Sciences in Faridabad, is an NFSU-affiliated campus where both programmes are available.

After CUET UG/PG results are out, students must download a preference form from the NFSU website, fill in their campus choices, and upload it to the portal.

For the BSc–MSc five-year integrated programme, eligibility requires a Class 12 pass in Science with at least 55% for General, OBC, and EWS candidates, with 30 seats available.

For the two-year MSc, a Bachelor's degree in Science, Forensic Science, Medicine, Engineering, Pharmacy, Dentistry, or AYUSH with at least 55% is required, with 30 seats available.

SC/ST and PwD candidates are eligible at lower thresholds for both programmes.

Students at either stage of the process, whether preparing for CUET UG or waiting on CUET PG results, are welcome to drop a comment or reach out directly at [email protected].

Most forensic science aspirants who reach out to us are surprised when we explain how NFSU's admissions actually work. They assume the university places you somewhere, but the process does not work that way. Students choose their own campus.

Once the results are declared, NFSU begins its counselling process. Students must download a preference form from the NFSU website, fill in their campus choices, and upload it back to the portal. The university then matches students to campuses based on their scores and choices. Students who do not add the College of Traffic Management and Forensic Sciences (CTM) to their preference list will not end up here, regardless of their score.

Students who have received their CUET PG results, and those preparing for CUET UG in May, should use this window to look at CTM properly and decide where to place it on their list well before counselling begins.

The NFSU admissions portal for 2026 is already live at https://nfsuadm.samarth.edu.in/2026/. Bookmark it now.
