My son is in class XI in commerce stream. He is interested in making career in Forensic accounting, investigation, security management. Recently I came across Rashtriya Raksha University (RRU) offering such courses (undergraduate/post graduate). Please advice: i) What are the career options/opportunity, in private & Govt. sector, after doing the above courses? ii) Whether RRU has any name in the market (in terms of placements also)? iii) Since RRU offers BA/M.Com/BBA degrees which seems to be non-professional, what are the professional degrees/specializations that can be added after doing these courses? iii) Are there any other reputed universities offering such courses, like one I know is National Forensic science university)?
Ans: Namaste
