Board of Studies (BoS)

The Board of Studies (BoS) at the School of Forensic Sciences, JSPM University Pune, serves as an essential academic body responsible for maintaining and enhancing the quality of education in the field of forensic science and allied disciplines. The BoS plays a pivotal role in designing, reviewing, and updating the curriculum to ensure it remains contemporary, research-oriented, and aligned with industry standards and emerging trends.

The Board comprises a balanced mix of academic experts, senior professionals from forensic science laboratories, interdisciplinary faculty members, and student representatives. External subject experts and industry veterans bring valuable insights from the field, helping bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Internal faculty members contribute their academic and teaching expertise to maintain coherence across courses and programs. Interdisciplinary members from other schools enrich the discussions with broader social science and legal perspectives, while student representatives provide feedback based on academic experiences, ensuring learner-centric curriculum development.

Together, the Board of Studies ensures the academic integrity and relevance of the programs offered, promotes innovation in pedagogy and research, and supports the overall academic development of the School. The collective efforts of the BoS contribute significantly to shaping a future-ready forensic science education ecosystem at the university.
