He completed the NUJS Diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Law and his law degree from Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University in 2014. Over here he talks about his experience with the NUJS diploma course, and how it helped his career. Over to Arpan:
I joined the NUJS Diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Law while I was in final year of my law school and was working with a Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO) firm.
I found this course while searching the internet for a course which would fill the gap between the theoretical knowledge provided in college and the practical knowledge needed in the corporate world. While deciding to join the course, I spoke to iPleaders team and went through all the sample reading materials provided and found it to be very useful. I found the diploma to be a great idea as it’s totally online. I was able to study for it conveniently at my own pace and time.
Before taking up the course, although I had theoretical knowledge, I had not really taken to drafting anything. The course has equipped me with drafting skills. During the course, I would repeatedly practice on the given drafting samples.
The course is very handy in my current role also; it is helping me in matters related to corporate law and litigation. It is also helping me draft deeds, wills, and agreements etc.
I found the modules on Contracts, FDI, Taxation and Incorporation to be extremely useful. I frequently interact with clients on FDI related matters and the module on FDI has helped me explain FDI to clients efficiently. I found taxation to be a difficult topic during my college; however, after going through the module provided in the diploma course, I now find it very easy.
I have mentioned this diploma in my CV as well as my LinkedIn profile. During my job interviews, I have been asked questions about this diploma. I not only explain the course, but I also recommend it to them. I’m very satisfied with the course and I really feel that it can benefit people from different walks of life, not just lawyers.
I would definitely recommend the NUJS diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Law to all types of working professionals, irrespective of the fields and industries they are working in.
