National Institute of Financial Management (NIFM) was set up in 1993 on the basis of a proposal made by

Ministry of Finance, which was approved by the Union Cabinet. The Union Cabinet envisaged that NIFM wouldbegin as a training institution for officers recruited by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) through the

annual Civil Service Examinations and allocated to the various services responsible for manning senior and top

management posts dealing with accounts and finance in the Government of India. NIFM was to develop as a

centre of excellence in the areas of Financial Management and related disciplines not only in India but also in

Asia.

In order to ensure that NIFM enjoys a greater degree of flexibility and autonomy than the departmental

academies that existed at that time for officers training, it was decided that the Institute would be a legal entity

known as Society. Such societies are legally independent entitle authorised to frame their own rules and

regulations. This structure makes available greater autonomy in both academic and administrative matters to

the Institute, facilitating quick decision making in response to changing perceptions of desired goals and

objectives.

Despite the legally autonomous character of the Institute, making the Finance Minister of Government of

India, the President of the Society, ensured a very close linkage with Government. For administrative

purposes, there is a Governing Board chaired by the Secretary (Expenditure). The Director appointed by the

Appointments Committee of the Cabinet is responsible for the administration and academic courses of the

Institute. It would thus be seen that the Institute has close links and direct access to Government of India.

The Institute recruits its faculty either by deputation from Civil

Services or by selection from the best in the academic field. The

Institute therefore has a distinct advantage of a mix of faculty

from academia as well as Government sector. The Institute

adheres to norms prescribed by the All India Council for Technical

Education with respect to faculty qualifications and strength.The Institute maintains a wide network of guest faculty who are

called upon to teach topics in which they specialise. There is also an

adjunct faculty arrangement to take advantage of the specialised

coverage of courses.

Message

The 3 months Certificate course in Cyber Security & Computer Forensics is a unique product designed in

collaboration with Gujrat Forensic Sciences University and in Academic Alliance with Microsoft (MSDNAA) for the

practitioners desiring to excel on the strength of knowledge and understanding of Cyber Security & Computer

Forensics. While the phenomenal growth and globalization of the digital information have brought new opportunities,

it has also brought new complexities, risks and challenges in terms of cyber threats. The need of the hour is to have

skilled manpower to tackle with hackers and crackers who have already violated the legal threshold and have

become the biggest threat to the digital community. One who has an edge in understanding the digital delicacy and

the products would not only take advantage of the opportunities but would also be able to understand the

technological delicacies. The premise of the programme rests on the motto of acquiring skills to better understand

the day to day problems of the industry and to generate skilled professionals for better handling of the cyber threat as

a whole.

The design, depth and the delivery of the programme would be ensured through regular monitoring of the

programme by a high level Academic Advisory Committee comprising of eminent academicians, practitioners and

civil servants. Similarly, the oversight of the programme is a continuous process and the Academic Advisory

Committee would regularly monitor the quality and the relevance of the programme. The vast network of academic

collaborations in conjunction with the dedicated pool of internal and external faculty would facilitate greater exposure

to the products and practices.

The participants will get a chance to interact with senior officials from the Ministry of IT, Cyber Crime investing

officials, faculty from Microsoft and Gujarat Forensic Sciences University, etc., who would be sharing their vast

knowledge in the subject area.

I would like to welcome the participants joining this prestigious programme of NIFM launched in collaboration with

Gujrat Forensic Sciences University & in Academic Alliance with Microsoft (MSDNAA) and assure them of the best

learning environment.
