# CNLU to launch cybersecurity, forensic course from Nov 21 2026-10-03T15:06:26+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Chanakya National Law University (CNLU), in collaboration with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), will launch a 60-hour Advanced Certificate Programme in Cybersecurity and Digital Forensics from 21 November to 20 December. The Cyber Crime and Security Unit, Bihar Police, is the law enforcement partner. The course will be conducted over five weekends with six hours of classes each day. The last date to apply is 17 November. The curriculum covers network security, ethical hacking, digital forensics, cyber laws and governance. It is open to students, IT professionals, police, prosecutors, judicial officers and government officials. Participants securing at least 50% marks will receive a joint CNLU-C-DAC certificate. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The course targets a gap between technical cybersecurity skills and legal-investigative knowledge, combining both in one programme. Police, prosecutors and judicial officers attending alongside IT professionals could improve how cyber cases are handled from complaint to conviction. The eight-module design includes hands-on tools such as Kali Linux and C-DAC’s own forensic software, which gives the course a practical edge. No programming prerequisite widens access but may limit depth for technical participants. Applications close 17 November, and the programme starts four days later. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Straightforward announcement of a new course, with facts and quotes only.
