M.Tech. Banking Technology and Information Security

This four-semester course, is aimed at creating a pool of responsible and resourceful IT professionals for the Financial and Banking sector. It is designed to impart in-depth knowledge and expertise to the students through innovative learning, supported by high calibre research and technology leadership.

The programme derives its strength from the fact that the Banking industry is becoming increasingly dependent on Information Technology to retain its competitiveness and adapt to the ever-evolving business environment. This service industry has to rely on technology to face the challenges posed by the global village in the new economy.

Despite the large variety of the Information Security techniques and tools in existence today, they are not flexible and fast enough to be used straightaway for the next generation Information Technologies such as mobile banking, mobile personal communications, electronic commerce, and Internet Banking. Extensive research and development efforts are required for deployment of Information Security Products and services for the Banking Sector, and this programme is precisely aimed at creating professionals who can do it all.
