M.Tech in Information Security
10 courses and one graduate major project may be offered in M.Tech in Information Security Curriculum program, with the following break up:
  1. Minimum of three courses form Information Security
  2. Minimum of three courses from Computer Science & Communications
  3. Minimum of two courses from Management
  4. Electives from related streams: Electronics, Communications, Nano- technology etc.
Note: The above are broad guidelines as each Institute/University may follow a different pattern; there is flexibility in adapting the basic requirements into the structure of the respective Institute/University appropriately.

The following is the suggested broad list of courses (they are by no means exhaustive):

  2. Decision Support Systems and Methods
  3. Cyber laws and rights in today's digital age
  4. Computer Security Audit and Assurance
  5. Strategic Computing and Communication Technology
Courses from other streams

These courses may be the courses offered by the Departments in their respective areas i.e. Electronics Department offering M.Tech in information security could offer in electronics while the Communication Department could offer courses in communication etc. 

Major Graduate Project

The students should do a major project in information security.

Pre-requisite for M.Tech in Information Security

Bachelor's Degree in Electronics, Computers, Electrical Engineering, Communication Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent.
 
M.Tech in Computers with Specialisation in Information Security to be offered by IITs

lITs which are likely to be the Resource Centres under the Project, are at present offering M.Tech in Computer Science / Engineering, with enough number of students. These Institutes could offer specialisation in Information Security to 10 Computer Science / engineering students. These Computer Science / Engineering students who would specialize in Information Security would have to take up:

Three courses in Information Security and Major Graduate Project in Information security.

The three courses could be from the list mentioned above for M.Tech in Information security.

However, if desired, IITs could initiate a new course entitled "M. Tech in Information Security "
