Established in 2014, Seacom Skills University is one of the first Skills centric university to be established in the country.

Speaking about the tie-up with Seacom Skills University, Debasish Biswas, Country Head, CIMA India, said, "Globally, there is a growing demand of professional skills that management accountants bring to organizations with the unique balance of accounting and business knowledge they have. We are happy to offer the CIMA qualification to students of Seacom Skills University to help their students develop analytical, application oriented, decision making skills, rather than just theoretical knowledge of business and finance.
