It being a government college under Ministry of Home affairs, and also being an institution of national importance grabbed my attention towards it, the major reason was the integrated bba mba course, which helps you to escape the Cat exam for a mba, though they provide you with an option to take an exit after bba.

I applied for RV institute of legal studies (Bangalore) for their course Bsc(hons) forensic science and criminology. I chose NFSU as it is a national college recognised by the government of India which assures me of better placements. I didn't get a rejection as I did not apply for a lot of universities Eligibility for NFSU: must have completed their +2 Exams accepted: NFAT, JEE There is no particular cutoff as NFAT is subject to differences in marks every year but on an average your goal should be atleast 80/100 marks

This is the only college I found good because there is just 8 NFSU in India and just 6 campuses have BSc MSc integrated course so i found this college good and it is a central government college and it is the only forensic science university found in india where ministry of home affairs are interlinked. I applied to my nearest home town college i was selected there to but the NFSU result cam late due to which i was studying for 3 weeks and then i cracked the NFAT test after which i was admitted to NFSU. There is an Exam NFAT which we need to crack after which we are held at the counselling part which is done in online mode after which you have to pay the amount within 24 hours of counselling session if you cannot pay the required fee your admission is being cancelled and then the another person gets the chance to get admission.
