So you were criticising to begin with, as evident from your last comment. You keep contradicting yourself so many times that one wonders whether a forensic audit of your comments should be what NFSU should start with.
Two months was the admission phase. The courses have been discussed, planned and approved over almost a year. Why don't you get some actual information about something before commenting on it?
Yes, that's a good start. It also runs a BSc-LLB in Cybersecurity. but the influencers and trolls here in all their wisdom give it a lower preference. It shows the mindset of the current crop.
Because both BSc LLB (Forensic Science) and MSc (Forensic Science) were launched with a lead time of under two months. That's why. It showed desperation to garner some revenue.
No, you're singing the paeans of an institution before it has become even good, let alone great. If and when it becomes great, by all means recognise its brilliance. As of now, it has got sub standard faculty and no achievement to speak of.
Law firms in India may have shiny offices and glossy furniture, but their IT infrastructure sucks. This is a systemic problem. No one realizes the importance of good IT infrastructure till the shit hits the fan.
You have an amusing argument. You think good faculty arrive on Earth from another planet - that's how all great institutions developed. On one hand, we live in a society (of UG students) that ridicules PG (LLM) and Ph.D. students, but on the other hand, everyone wants good faculty. Be the change you want you want to see, then talk.
No one has criticized any university or institution. NUJS is mentioned in the context of realizing the importance of integrating forensic science with law. And I am not even going to discuss the exorbitant fee they charge. That's a different thread. Now coming back to NFSU. Its impact is already visible. NUJS (also NLIU, GNLU, MNLU) has MOUs (for capacity development) with NFSU, and CSFL Kolkata (good that you mentioned it) is under the Ministry of Home Affairs (the same ministry under which NFSU operates). As far as funding for NFSU is concerned, you already know about it. You will see how most of this is pivoted around NFSU (whether you like it or not).
So basically, whatever NFSU does is gold standard. That's the crux of your argument. It's an amazing argument that current students who are largely unproven will later become good faculty, hence the institution should be celebrated for its excellence right from now. So if there aren't good faculty now, then whom will these students learn from to be better?
NUJS has been offering the course for two years now. It has the support of the Central Forensic Lab based in Kolkata, and already hired a core group of forensic faculty, who are no better or worse than the ones NFSU has hired actually. Granted, the government has given funds to the latter, but that doesn't give it the monopoly to run such courses after all. It's interesting how you are ready to wait to see the students that NFSU produces over the years, but are quick to criticise other universities doing that.
People should be more careful. Gen Z associates constantly download pirated movies using office WiFi, without realising that these sites are filled with viruses and malware.
Faculty don't appear magically. It takes time to create that as these are relatively new disciplines in India. The process has started. NFSU has taken 80+ PhD students this year, most of whom will eventually take up faculty positions. ISRO scientists carried rockets on cycle carriers in the '70s (not in hi-tech vehicles). Today everyone knows what they are and have achieved. Things don't come on a platter. By your yardstick, ISRO should not have succeeded but they did. There are people in NFSU who know what needs to be done, and gaps to be addressed.
There are not too many professionals with that kind of experience and expertise existing in India. Students in India have a tendency to follow the beaten track, rather than look at emerging areas. NFSU is a three-year-old institution - you'll hear about its work in the coming time. But the biggest change that has happened in these three years is that there is greater awareness about the importance of forensics, and institutions are scrambling to catch up. A case example is NUJS hurriedly offering an MSc in Forensic Science this year.
Err...those disciplines and professionals existed even before NFSU, it's not as if some pathbreaking things have been done at NFSU since its inception.
This is where hiring actually half decent faculty to train the future group of lawyers comes. Please convey that to NFSU. At present, the Assam version (which is now getting funds) still has got only 3 hours of electricity in the labs, which means no DNA or related evidence can ever be stored or worked on there.
Oh no. Client data + documents and information? That’s a serious breach for a law firm. Hope they get back control of their server without damage to the clients.
