The National Academy of Customs, Excise and Narcotics (NACEN) is the apex institute of Government of India for capacity building of civil servants in the field of indirect taxation, particularly the areas of customs, central excise, service tax and narcotics control administration. Located at Faridabad, near India's capital New Delhi, the Academy is operated under the aegis of the Central Board of Excise and Customs, Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance.
The Academy's flagship programme is the training of officers of the indirect taxation branch Indian Revenue Service, better known as IRS (Customs & Central Excise). These officer trainees, also known as direct recruits, are selected through the Civil Services Examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission.
Over the last two decades, NACEN along with its nine regional training institutes, has been conducting the professional training programme for officer trainees of the Indian Revenue Service (Customs & Central Excise). Starting in the last week of December each year, after the three-month long Foundation Course at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration, the professional training programme involves over eighteen months of class room and on-the job-training. Officer trainees are trained in the administration of customs, excise and service taxes through a combination of class room sessions and visits to departmental locations across the length and breadth of the country. In addition, sensitisation to the working of other stakeholders is built through short training modules with organisations such as Wildlife institute of India, Indian Coast Guard , Indian Navy, central Bureau of Narcotics, National Police Academy, National Industrial Security Academy, BSF, ITBP.
