PG Diploma in Forensic Science at MGAHV

MGAHV, Wardha, Maharashtra, offers PG Diploma in Forensic Science as a 1-year postgraduate degree. There are 15 seats in each batch. Fees for the full course come to ₹4,050 (roughly ₹4,000 a year).

Expect to spend most of your time on keeping systems safe: networks, cryptography, ethical hacking, secure coding and digital forensics.

MGAHV is a other institute, founded in 1997. This page brings together what is on record for this course at MGAHV — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most PGD programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means keeping systems safe: networks, cryptography, ethical hacking, secure coding and digital forensics. Typical first jobs: security analyst, penetration tester or SOC engineer.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask MGAHV for the current semester-wise plan.

The fee figures on record for this course are below. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with MGAHV before you pay anything.
