Forensic scientists work in crime laboratories as forensic chemist and biologist. Their jobs may include the following aspects:

• Apply principles and techniques of the physical and natural sciences to the analysis of the many type of evidence that may be recovered during a criminal investigation
• Provide expert testimony in the court of Law. An expert witness is called on to evaluate evidence based on specialized training and experience. An expert will then express an opinion as to the significance of the findings.
• Participate in training law enforcement personnel in the proper recognition, collection, and preservation of physical evidence.

If you wish to work in a crime laboratory as a Forensic expert or scientist, you must have a thorough grounding in the basic sciences of chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics. You can pursue Bachelor of Science in Forensic Science after your 12th (CBSE/ICSE) or Intermediate in Sciences.

In India, after completion of B.Sc. in Forensic Science, student must proceed with Master of Sciences in Forensic discipline according to their interest in specializations. There various specializations under forensic science like, Forensic Documents Sciences, Forensic Toxicology, Forensic Ballistics, Forensic Psychology & Behavioural Sciences, Forensic Chemistry, etc. which will make candidate specialized in a specific field of Forensic Science.

Once the educational degrees are completed, candidates need to start practicing forensic science in Forensic Science Laboratories. They can either start a lab on their own or join Private Forensic Laboratories.

In Government Sector, State & Central Governments of our country notifies vacancies for various grades of scientists through Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), State Public Service Commission (PSC), Directorate of Forensic Science Laboratories (DFSL), or Staff Selection Commission (SSC), where - Prelims, Mains & Interview processes may also be part of recruitment procedures. Priority will be given to the candidates who are eligible in FACT (Forensic Aptitude & Caliber Test) or FACT �Plus�, UGC NTA NET (National Eligibility Test) in Forensic Science, and sometimes, who have an experience of at least 1 year as intern in Forensic organisations will also help candidate to become Forensic Scientific Assistant, Forensic Lab Assistant, Forensic Technician, CLUES team member etc. Besides above mentioned aspects of careers, CBI, NIA, IB, FPB, DCRB, CCRB, NCRB, WCCB, C-DAC etc. will also recruit Forensic Expert with certain eligibility criterion.

Computer forensics is the application of investigation and analysis techniques to gather and preserve evidence from a particular computing device in a way that is suitable for presentation in a court of law.

Cybercrimes can be defined as unlawful criminal acts where the computer is used either as tool or a target or both. Cyber Forensics is also known as Computer forensics where detection and prevention of cybercrimes such as, Account hacking, virus dissemination, Phishing, Social Engineering etc. are committed by techie criminals with motive of pilfering information from the Internet users. To tackle such type of crimes, Law enforcement agencies have adopted Cyber forensics. Cyber forensics experts track the details of Hackers, cyber criminals through various networking tools in a way that is suitable for presentation in a court of law.

Digital Forensics (sometimes known as digital forensic science) is a branch of forensic science encompassing the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices, such as Hard disks, Pen drive, Compatible Disks, Memory cards etc. often in relation to computer crime.

Mobile device forensics is a branch of digital forensics relating to recovery of digital evidence or data from a mobile device under forensically sound conditions. The phrase mobile device usually refers to mobile phones; however, it can also relate to any digital device that has both internal memory and communication ability, including PDA devices, GPS devices and tablet computers.

Today�s modern world, cyber security is playing a vital role across the Globe. In the present changing society, maximum crimes are cyber based viz. Bank robbery, Industrial espionage, hacking children kidnapping, credit card frauds, scams, cyber terrorism and so on. As per ICERT 1, 44,496 Cyber-attacks were observed in tyhe last two years. Further, Governments are planning to setup a Cyber Forensic Training Laboratory at all the district headquarters in India.

By keeping the above facts in view & the demand for Cyber security professionals in Computer World. Adikavi Nannaya University has included Cyber Security in curriculum of B.Sc. Forensic Science. The syllabus helps the students to become experts in Cyber Security world as it inculcates knowledge from the basics to expert level. This is unique to Adikavi Nannaya University because no other University in the country is offering such a sound syllabus.

Aditya is giving utmost priority and giving special training cybercrime investigation to the students from I semester to VI semester of its Forensic science students. Aditya established a separate computer Lab with all the necessary software�s and tools related to cyber forensics by incurring lakhs of rupees. The only one college established separate computer Lab for special training on cybercrimes (even the universities are also not offering this facility).

After, B.Sc. in Forensic Science at Aditya which as Cyber / Digital Forensic Curriculum in the syllabus is suitable to pursue Cyber Forensics in Masters Level. Aditya also offers various computer related educational services through Technical Hub ( https://technicalhub.io/ ). Basic Degree education is first essential which plays only small percentage of role in making you a cyber-forensic expert. Second essential is being updated to the latest technologies in current computer generation. In words of Rob Lee, �The first is a passion for computer forensics and incident response and the second one is a very large capacity to learn�. The more you have practice on computer techniques more you are capable of becoming Cyber/Digital Forensic expert.

Getting a cyber-job is not difficult in India, with the rising number of cybercrimes, there is high demand for Computer Forensics graduates in Law Enforcement Agencies in India and abroad. Employment opportunities for such professionals are witnessing a surge but there is still a lack of skilled resource in this field.

Computer Forensics/Digital Forensics professionals are hired to strengthen the information security structure or monitor cyber frauds within an organization. Some typical examples of jobs in cyber forensics are Computer Forensics Investigator, Computer Forensics Technician, Digital Forensics Specialist, Computer Forensics Analyst, Computer Forensics Specialist etc. Trained Cyber Forensic experts are also invited to impart education and provide training in Government and private colleges.

The life of a Forensics Expert is consumed with electronic evidence. During the course of your day, you may be required to:

• Conduct data breach and security incident investigations
• Recover and examine data from computers and electronic storage devices
• Dismantle and rebuild damaged systems to retrieve lost data
• Identify additional systems/networks compromised by cyber attacks
• Compile evidence for legal cases
• Draft technical reports, write declarations and prepare evidence for trial
• Give expert counsel to attorneys about electronic evidence in a case
• Advise law enforcement on the credibility of acquired data
• Provide expert testimony at court proceeding
• Train law enforcement officers on computer evidence procedures
• Keep abreast of emerging technologies, software and methodologies
• Stay proficient in forensic, response and reverse engineering skills
• Forensics Experts currently work for large corporations, law enforcement, legal firms and private consulting firms. Global firms have their own computer forensics units.
