Choose their careers in other fields as there isn’t much to be explored in India. Here we have a judicial system. Most of the cases are investigated by police officers and lawyers without the involvement of any forensic expert.
However, in abroad the scenario is completely different. If you want to pursue forensics as a career, try abroad.
