NEW DELHI, Aug. 2 NIIT, the computer education major, today said that it had formed an alliance with the US-based ITT Educational Services Inc. (ITT/ESI) to offer a four-year Bachelor's degree in IT with specialisation in information systems security (BS ISS). This academic alliance will allow NIIT's past, present and prospective students to transfer their completed DNIIT programme credits and secure direct admission into the third year of the four-year, US-accredited degree programme, BS ISS, NIIT said here at a press conference. "NIIT's vast experience in instructional design, IT content development and education delivery for global markets makes this an ideal alliance for us to take technical education outside the United States," said the ITT/ESI Chairman, Mr. Rene R. Champagne. The ISS Programme will emphasise application of the technologies used to secure computer systems. Core technical modules will include the study of computer security architecture, firewalls, user authentication methods and security techniques for both Windows and UNIX platforms. Other areas of instruction include risk management, intruder detection, hacker techniques, incident handling and recovery, system forensics investigation and the auditing of e-commerce systems and IT infrastructures. The programme will be delivered in India through NIIT's learning centres in the first and second years, followed by online delivery by ITT Technical Institute at select NIIT Centres in the third and fourth years. Fresh students enrolling into career programmes of NIIT can opt for a four-year ISS Programme.
