As India accelerates its digital transformation, cybersecurity is no longer a niche skill; it's a national imperative.
In Education Times (The Times of India), Prof. Prakash Gopalan, President, NIIT University, highlights why the next generation of cybersecurity professionals will play a critical role in safeguarding the systems that power modern India, from digital payments and public services to critical infrastructure.
At NIIT University, we prepare students for that responsibility through industry-relevant learning, hands-on experience, and specialised training. The outcome? Around 95% of our cybersecurity graduates secured roles aligned with their specialisation in 2024–25, with organisations such as Ernst & Young, Cisco, Morgan Stanley, and PwC.
Building the talent that protects what India is building.
