India’s second ‘Forensic University’ is proposed to be established in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. The university will be set up by the state government in collaboration with the National Institute of Forensic Science (NIFS). It will offer undergraduate and postgraduate courses in forensic science.
The university is expected to be a major center of excellence in forensic science and will help to meet the growing demand for forensic experts in the country. It will also help to improve the quality of forensic investigations in India.
