ILS Pune is a private institute, founded in 1924. This page brings together what is on record for this course at ILS Pune — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most PGD programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means keeping systems safe: networks, cryptography, ethical hacking, secure coding and digital forensics. Typical first jobs: security analyst, penetration tester or SOC engineer.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask ILS Pune for the current semester-wise plan.
