Sukriti Jaiswal is currently pursuing law from Government Law College, Mumbai and has already secured a job with one of the prestigious law firms, in the pre-placement drive of her college.
Apart from her corporate law career she is passionate about social causes and has volunteered with Pratham; a NGO working towards the education of underprivileged children.
She completed the NUJS Diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Laws in November 2015. She had a fruitful experience with the course and had many good things to talk about, so we decided to share it with you all. Over to Sukriti.
I joined the NUJS diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Laws while I was in the 3rd year of my law school. I was doing my internship at that time and I could not perform as per my expectations. There was a major gap in what I had learnt in college and the knowledge needed to put that into practice. I lacked practical knowledge about law in action. That is when I realized that I need to learn more about corporate laws, so that I can perform well in internships and also improve my job prospects.
Few of my friends had done the NUJS diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Laws, and I got to know about the course from them. I did an online search about the course and found the course structure and syllabus to be very impressive. I even spoke with a counsellor from iPleaders team and she explained the course and its benefits to me in detail. I liked the topics which were being covered in the course and decided to enroll for the diploma. I even liked the fact that iPleaders provide so many internship opportunities across the country to NUJS diploma students.
My expectations from the course were totally fulfilled. I’m more of an audio learner; I do not like to read a lot. So I liked the concept of webinars, where I could just listen and learn. Webinars by industry experts on different topics provided a lot of knowledge and were easy to comprehend.
The course is very comprehensive and covers business structure, labour laws, arbitration, etc. in detail. The modules on venture capital, startups, strategic investments and shareholder agreements are some which I found to be very helpful. The agreement drafting exercise was very helpful. It gave hands-on experience in drafting different agreements. Since the course was based on the new Companies Act, it was very practical. Unlike in college where we were still learning the old Act and then relating it to the new Companies Act. Here we were learning what was relevant in a practical sense.
The course has really helped me in my interviews. While preparing for the interviews, the only thing I referred was the course material from this diploma course. I have secured a job in the pre-placement drive and I strongly feel that the credit goes to the NUJS diploma course to a large extent.
I would recommend this course to law students. The NUJS Business Law Diploma can be very helpful to students who are in their third or fourth year of law school. Especially to those who are from Non-NLU colleges, as they don’t get to study much about the corporate law. This course would give them practical insight about corporate law and create a level playing field for the students from non-NLUs.
