This is the only college I found good because there is just 8 NFSU in India and just 6 campuses have BSc MSc integrated course so i found this college good and it is a central government college and it is the only forensic science university found in india where ministry of home affairs are interlinked. I applied to my nearest home town college i was selected there to but the NFSU result cam late due to which i was studying for 3 weeks and then i cracked the NFAT test after which i was admitted to NFSU. There is an Exam NFAT which we need to crack after which we are held at the counselling part which is done in online mode after which you have to pay the amount within 24 hours of counselling session if you cannot pay the required fee your admission is being cancelled and then the another person gets the chance to get admission.

The exam was intermediate level although less seats are available which makes it difficult for the UR category to get in. The obc and sc st category can apply in the open as well as reserve category which seems unfair for the ur category students. There is reservation for armed forces students. Entrance Exam usually takes place once a year around july start or june end. Make the entrance exam a little more difficult to get in would be an area to improve
