Entomology is the study of insects or arthropods in criminal investigation. From the early stages insects are attracted to the decomposing body and may lay eggs in it.
Learning the insect population and the developing larval stages, forensic scientists can estimate the post-mortem index, any change in position of the corpse as well as the cause of death.
Forensic Entomologists are:

Entomologist |
Entomologists study insects, both in the natural habitat and under controlled situations in the lab. They observe life stages and migration patterns, and also look at the movement and habits of insects in the urban environment, including businesses and households. Information that they discover is shared with health professionals in an effort to increase public safety and reduce the incidence of direct and indirect harm to the human population. |

Entomology Research Associate |
Forensic Entomologists make an accurate estimation for how long a person has been dead because different types of insects are attracted to different stages of decomposition. Life stages of eggs and young insects can also give important clues. They must take certain environmental factors into account when examining bodies, season, ambient temperature, time of day, and the body's surroundings. These factors affect a body's rate of decomposition, and insect growth. |

Chaudhary Charan Singh University is a well-known university in the region. It offers good infrastructure and facilities to students. The university library has a good collection of books. CCS alumni list includes names such as Mayawati, Murli Manohar Joshi, Kumar Vishwas, etc. The campus placements for the institute aren’t too good. But you can get good opportunities through off-campus placements.
My brother attended a CCS university-affiliated college. Here are his insights, which can be helpful for you.
If possible try to prepare for your research project from the first year. Otherwise, you will be burdened in the last semester.
CCS University is better than other private colleges in the region. The free structure is affordable. The infrastructure of CCS University is not great. The facilities offered are similar to other government universities. If you are from the region, you can keep the university as an option.
But if you are getting admission at DU or other reputed universities, you should choose those options over CCS.
The process is quite simple. Here is what you need to do.
There are a lot of ‘so-called Brokers’ right outside the university who will promise you that they can get you your degree transcript in one day and will charge you around 2,000. However, it’s best to follow the rules and receive the transcript on time.
The passing mark for BSc PCM at CCS University is 40 out of 100 for a subject. Whereas, students need to score at least 50% overall to qualify in a semester. In practical subjects, you need to score a minimum of 17 out of 50 to pass.
Apart from these, there are two additional qualifying papers. You need to score passing marks in these papers as well.
CCSU is one of India’s most prestigious educational institutes, spread across a large campus. Here are some of the facilities offered by CCS University.
The university campus is clean and lush green. Except for B. Tech and LLB, all other majority courses are postgraduate level. Also, you can collect all the information from any administrative staff of the college. They are helpful and would not let you down.
One of my friends graduated from CCS with a Bachelor of Science in 2019 and was looking for a transcript to help WES evaluate my degree. Unfortunately, he misplaced one of his mark sheets, and as far as transcripts go, all mark sheets are required. Also, as he was not in the city it was difficult for him to visit the university.
While going through various websites, he found N V DOCUMENTATION, a transcript service provider.
He contacted and inquired about the services they provided, and informed them that he had lost a marksheet and was confused about how to proceed, and the executive assisted him to get a replica mark sheet. They walked him through the entire process. The team was successful in obtaining his duplicate mark sheet, and his transcript was sent directly from the university to WES.
For a B.Ed from CCS University Meerut, you need to apply for the UPBED entrance examination. Each year, reputed universities of India conduct this examination. This year, Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Rohilkhand University is conducting UPBED.
If you can secure a rank of around 1-10000 in the entrance examination, you can apply for Govt. Universities through counseling. If you can’t get a rank in this range, you have to choose private colleges.
The three-year LLB course at CCS University has an upper age limit of 30-45. The upper age limit of a five-year LLB course is 20-22. Besides the age limit, CCS University has other eligibility criteria that you need to fulfill.
