The lecture started from 1:30 PM till 3:45 PM. The seminar was very. Forensic Sciences is not that explored arena among Indians. Indians have formed their opinion based on TV Series and Movies. We find the job very fascinating based on such ideas but Mr. Mebin gave us an idea about the real and uncomfortable side of it. He began the lecture with scope, career option and branches of Forensic science. It was a very eye opening session.

This field is very less explored as there are only 2 colleges in India which introduce such courses to Indian students. Any stream of student can opt for such course after their under graduation. This field can be merged with any field such as law, finance, crime and so on. This field is not that explored so there are various myths attached to it. The myths were cleared in various simple forms.

Case studies were discussed in the seminar hall. The session was very interactive. There was Q and A session which helped the students to find answer for their questions. The knowledge which was gained by the student was impeccable. The simplest of the language was used by Mr. Mebin which made every student understand such complex topic. The session was a great learning opportunity.
