Institute of Forensic Science, Mumbai

Admission: The exams at college are tough because they have three parts: internals, viva, practicals, and theory papers. When we have theory exams, they check us really well to make sure no one cheats. We can't have our devices in the exam hall, so we have to keep them in our bags, which are kept away from our desks.

Placement: There are lots of forensic labs in the country, run by private and government agencies. In my batch, there are about 60 students. We don't have campus placements, so finding internships is tough. We're not sure about the salary packages. Hopefully, the government will help with these problems.

Campus: Our college doesn't have a hostel, but it's a really cool old building with a lot of history. It looks great. The only thing is, the Wi-Fi here is pretty bad, so it's hard to get online. Plus, there's no canteen, which is weird for a college in Mumbai.

Admission: I found the pass rate to be 35%, which was pretty decent. The semester exams were manageable, not too tough. The teachers were really helpful and knew their stuff. The teaching was top-notch. We had practicals every week, even on weekdays. Internal exams were also part of the routine. They introduced some new rules for the semester exams, though.

Placement: I took classes in Forensic Science, Chemistry, Biology, and Psychology. The college didn't help us get internships with the government, so we had to find them ourselves. The salary after graduation varied, with the highest being around 10 to 20 LPA and the lowest at 3 to 4 LPA. Job opportunities were available in DFSL and government forensic offices.

Campus: I had some trouble picking a hostel, and ended up in the girls' hostel in Bandra. It meant commuting every day. But the hostel facilities were top-notch. The boys' hostel was close to Churchgate station. Both hostels were government-run and had tight security.

Admission: The teachers are really helpful and caring. Our course follows international standards, which is great. Exams are not too hard, but grading can be tough. Most students pass with a score of 70-80%. The teachers are punctual and really passionate about what they teach.

Placement: The chances for placements are low since it's a bachelor's course, but doing a master's can open up more opportunities. Some students are even getting recommendation letters from overseas. The highest salary offered is 60 LPA from abroad, while the lowest is Rs 20,000 per month in India. We often see government agencies and departments coming to hire students, along with insurance and banking companies showing interest. About 60% of students manage to secure internships in different government hospitals, which is pretty cool.

Campus: The college has okay infrastructure. The building is old, but the facilities are good. They have all the equipment and tools we need. I like that they have sports and games, and the labs are well-equipped. The best part is that the library gives us all the books we need for free.
