Computer forensics or cyber forensics in India is still at its infancy stage. This is so because there is a general lack of legal enablement of ICT systems in India. In the absence of adequate legal enablement of ICT systems in India, cyber forensics has also not developed much.Another reason for lack of cyber forensics in India is absence of adequate and qualitative techno legal cyber forensics institutions. There are very few institutions that provide cyber forensics educations and training in India. However, cyber forensics is techno legal in nature that must cater both technical and legal requirements of the learners.
India has a single techno legal cyber forensics research, training and educational institution. It is managed by Perry4Law Techno Legal Base (PTLB). The centre is providing techno legal cyber forensics education, trainings and course in India.
PTLB is providing its cyber forensics courses and other techno legal course and trainings through the use of e-learning and online education models. Registration for online education and trainings in the field of cyber forensics and other techno legal courses of PTLB can be done through its online platform.
The present course is a basic level course and highly specialised courses would also be provided in future. The same would be managed by Perry4Law Techno Legal ICT Training Centre (PTLITC).
Some of the topics covered by the basic level computer forensics course include basic introduction about applicable law, cyber law of India, digital evidencing in India, e-mail tracing, data recovery, etc. The students or professionals undergoing the basic level trainings and education from PTLB would be given preference for courses and trainings undertaken by PTLITC.

PTLITC is also in the process of providing highly specialised and domain specific techno legal trainings, courses and educations in the fields like cyber law, cyber security, cyber forensics, anti cyber terrorism, anti cyber warfare, human rights protection in cyberspace, lawful interceptions and self defence against unlawful interceptions, etc.
