Careers after B.Tech with Digital Forensics skills
Digital forensics is the systematic recovery, preservation and analysis of digital evidence from computers, networks and storage media. Chain of custody and reproducibility matter as much as technical skill. For B.Tech graduates, Digital Forensics skills translate into roles like Digital Forensics Analyst, Incident Response Analyst, Security Analyst, Cybercrime Investigation Support Specialist — and the portfolio that gets those interviews is built during the degree: coursework, lab projects, hackathons, internships, and a visible capstone. Here is how that maps out at Vivekananda School of Engineering & Technology (VSET) at VIPS-TC Pitampura.

How VSET teaches Digital Forensics
Digital forensics is the systematic recovery, preservation and analysis of digital evidence from computers, networks and storage media. Chain of custody and reproducibility matter as much as technical skill. At VSET this maps to documented coursework depth inside B.Tech CSE (Cyber Security).
- Forensics is taught as coursework in VSET's four-year B.Tech CSE (Cyber Security) track.
- It builds on operating systems and file system knowledge from the GGSIPU CSE core.
- Evidence handling, documentation and chain-of-custody discipline are taught explicitly.
- The subject connects directly to incident response, which is also covered in the track.
