MG University B.Sc Cyber Forensic: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. BSc Cyber Forensics is a specialised programme focused on digital investigation, cyber law, ethical hacking, network security, biometric security, cryptography, and digital evidence recovery. Unlike BSc Computer Science, which covers general programming and software development, BSc Cyber Forensics is specifically designed for careers in cybersecurity, law enforcement cyber cells, and digital forensics. The programme includes dedicated security labs and covers topics like forensic analysis of compromised systems, mobile and wireless security, and legal aspects of cyber crime, which are not part of the standard BSc Computer Science curriculum.
