Subject Matter Trainings & Workshops

The officers of CCI are from different background such as law, economics, finance, management or other disciplines. CCI conducts various in-house inter-disciplinary training/workshops focusing on particular streams such as Concepts of Basic Economics, Use of Basic Economics for Competition Law, Basic Legal/Financial Terminologies etc. in order to familiarise officers with the subject. CCI also conducts in-depth training focusing on specific areas like abuse of dominance, cartels, digital forensic, digital economy, big data, corporate governance and various other subjects which have relevancy with the competition law and policy. In addition to these trainings, CCI also organizes other trainings related to establishment, administration, management and IT. These trainings are conducted either in-house or in collaboration with professional training agencies/institutions like ICAI, ICSI, IICA etc. to enhance the professional competencies of the officers.

On the request of Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA), CCI conducts Attachment Programme for newly recruited Indian Corporate Law Services (ICLS) officer trainees.

Induction Training & Orientation Programme

A similar five-days residential programme at IICA was held in 2020 for newly recruited Experts/Young Professionals and Officers on deputation at CCI. However, owing to COVID restrictions, all programmes since March 2020 have been conducted virtually.

Induction Training Manual

For reference, during the induction training programme, an induction manual is distributed to the newly recruited Officers and Experts/Young Professionals.

The manual allows for the smooth induction of personnel in the system. This manual also provides basic knowledge regarding CCI as an organisation and its workings, and what an Officer will be doing in the institution. The manual will also help new Officers and Experts/Young Professionals settle in quickly in their new jobs. Links and references are included in the manual for a more complete understanding of the concepts and practices of competition authorities.
