A Cyber Forensics Lab shall be setup on the premises of National Law University (NLU) Delhi for facilitating this course.  Other law schools/ universities like  National Law School of India University (Bangalore), Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (Patiala), etc.  will also be involved in the programme in future. The law schools will provide the necessary faculty members, expertise and content for the virtual classes and development of e-content.  NLIU, BHOPAL will award the PG Diploma Certificate to the candidates who successfully complete the course, according to a PIB release.
