Remarks:

Eligibility is the same as any other college for forensic psychology. Either a major in psychology or psychology as one of the subjects in my bachelor's. The application fee is 1000 rupees and the form must be submitted both online and offline. I was general and I filled no reservations. The administration is lacking in all sorts of ways and people are often careless.
