The All India Forensic Science Entrance Test (AIFSET) is a national-level entrance examination for students seeking admission to forensic science programmes at participating universities. It is used for undergraduate programmes such as B.Sc. Forensic Science and postgraduate programmes such as M.Sc. Forensic Science and related courses.

For undergraduate admission, AIFSET is intended for students who have completed or are appearing in Class 12 with the required science subjects. For postgraduate admission, graduates with the required science or forensic science background can apply. The exact admission requirements can vary by participating university and programme.

AIFSET 2026 is conducted as an online, remotely proctored examination. Candidates can take the test using a mobile phone, laptop or desktop with an internet connection. The examination has a single paper with 100 multiple-choice questions, a duration of 60 minutes and a maximum of 100 marks. Each correct answer carries one mark and there is no negative marking.

After the examination, candidates can view their results online and use their AIFSET result or rank for the subsequent counselling and admission process at participating institutions, subject to the institution's eligibility and admission rules.

• For B.Sc. Forensic Science, candidates must have passed or be appearing in Class 12 or an equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry and Biology and/or Mathematics as the main subjects.
• For B.Sc. Forensic Science, the stated minimum aggregate is 50%.
• For M.Sc. Forensic Science, candidates must have completed or be in the final semester of a bachelor's degree in B.Sc. Forensic Science or a science graduate degree from a recognised university.
• For M.Sc. Forensic Science, the stated minimum aggregate is 50%.
• Candidates can attempt AIFSET a maximum of three times.
• Specific eligibility requirements may differ among participating universities and courses.

No fixed category-wise qualifying cut-off or reliable previous-year closing cut-off is stated in the available AIFSET 2026 information. Admission depends on the AIFSET result and the eligibility and selection rules of the participating university.

AIFSET results are declared online. Candidates can check their result using the login credentials created during registration. The result is provided digitally, and a hard copy of the scorecard is not sent by post or email.

The result and rank are used for the subsequent counselling and admission process at participating universities. Candidates should complete the admission steps and document verification required by the institution they choose. A specific validity period for an AIFSET score is not stated in the available official information, so no fixed validity period is given here.
