If you analyse the sample questions provided by the University, you can clearly get an idea that you need to brush up your Class 11th and 12th science basics to clear the sub sections and should have good command in Forensic Science. I suggest you to download (if you do not have ) 11th and 112th NCERT Books for better preparation.

You can browse through our study material or may be buy a basic forensic science book. Criminalistics by Saferstein would be a good choice. Check out the book HERE.

Here are the links to download NCERT books

Class XI – Biology, Physics (Part 1 and Part 2 ), Chemistry(Part 1 and Part 2)

Class XII – Biology,Physics(Part 1 and Part 2), Chemistry (Part 1 and Part 2)
