Jain University in Kerala offers a distinct forensic science program. Admission is based on 12th-grade marks and a university-conducted entrance exam, followed by a group discussion and personal interview. The top 10 candidates are shortlisted on a merit list. The faculty, mostly with PhDs and aged 25-30, are approachable and dedicated to student learning. The course includes six classes: five core subjects and one elective. The forensic science course has a relatively high fee due to its unique offering, with an annual fee of around INR 1.6 lakh, excluding hostel and transport charges.
The fee structure is considered expensive, especially for honors students, but remains affordable. Although the university is new, it aims to provide strong placement opportunities similar to its Bangalore branch. Strategically located in an infopark, the college attracts multinational companies, ensuring an 80-90% placement rate. Students receive training in mind management and soft skills to excel in interviews. Placements are especially strong in forensic science and cybersecurity, with top firms hiring high-achieving postgraduates.
While scholarships are currently unavailable, students can secure education loans from banks like Andhra Bank and State Bank of India. The university plans to introduce scholarships and additional loan options in the future.
