And as we study forensic and crime I suggest if we have direct recruitments in government sectors. We organize conferences, paper submission, workshops on cyber world, campaign, projects and currently we organize batch wise teaching to police constables from department CYBER FORENSIC AND INFORMATION SECURITY. As we gonna have 40 cyber police stations in upcoming year.
