National Forensic Sciences University

National Forensic Sciences University in Gandhinagar describes itself as the first university anywhere devoted wholly to forensic science, and it holds Institution of National Importance status under an Act of Parliament passed in 2020. Run by the Central Government and holding an A+ grade from NAAC, it concentrates teaching and research in forensic science, cyber security, digital forensics, behavioural science and allied investigative disciplines rather than spreading across conventional streams. The Gandhinagar setting places students in Gujarat's administrative capital, close to state laboratories and government agencies that the university works with. It suits students with a clear career direction — forensic laboratories, cyber crime investigation, police and security services, or research — rather than those still deciding between streams. Its narrow specialisation is the point: few Indian institutions teach these fields in comparable depth.
