Dr. Harisingh Gour University M.Sc Review By Sourabh Manhare

The overall experience of this university is good but the education quality should be increased. I choose this college and this course because this is one of the oldest institutes teaching Forensic Science in India. In this university there are many departments and numerous courses which are taught here. This university provides bachelors, masters, and doctorate degrees.

This university has a good record in academics. My course is Masters in Forensic Science which is a two year course. This teaches various subjects of Forensic Science such as Forensic Biology, Serology, Chemistry, Physics, Ballistics, etc. To get an admission into this course you need to qualify CUET and eligibility for this exam is to score 55% in bachelors. My motive behind taking this course is to not only gaining academic knowledge but to also get hands on training on various sophisticated instruments such as GC, HPLC, TLC, FTIR, UV VIS Spectrophotometer, etc.

The faculty here is highly qualified in their respective fields. The majority of faculty is Post Doctorate and many holding multiple Ph.D. All teachers are expert in their areas. Many faculty members rank as the 2% in world scientists. This university encourages teaching students in interactive way and the teachers emphasize on this too.

There is a dedicated student placement and startup cell which is mainly led by students. This cell offers placement opportunities and encourages startups.

This university has 5 boy’s hostels- 1 for UG students, 1 for PG students, 1 for SC ST students, 1 For Ph.D students and one common hostel which is the newest hostel. It has 2 girls’ hostels. The hostels are equipped with facilities such as canteen, Wi-Fi, playground and indoor sports.

The infrastructure of this university is very good. Most of the departments have their own building; there are 4 auditoriums, one big administrative block, a big central library, playgrounds, departmental museums, botanical garden, etc. The buildings are well furnished and well equipped with the latest smart class room setup.

The university's campus life is overall good. There are many social groups. There is one annual fest which is held in November named Gour Utsav. Other departmental fests are also organised here. There is one happiness center and other clubs. There is a theatre society as well. Many activities such as plantation by NSS are also organized in the campus.
