When I enrolled for the NUJS Diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and Business Laws, I already had an experience of around 10 years in the corporate legal field and was running a nonprofit ICSE & ISC board school along with my associates in Howrah. I got to know about this diploma course from the NUJS website. I came across the advertisement of the diploma course there and I liked what it offered. On further research, I found the course curriculum to be really up to date. I was so impressed by the course content and syllabus that I decided to enroll for this course, despite having almost a decade’s experience in the legal field.
The modules on Investment Laws like FDI, ECB etc. were very informative. The modules on drafting & due diligence and the chapters on Govt. tender was very useful and gave practical insight into the topics. The module on IT Acts was something I personally found very informative.
Although currently I’m not in a hardcore legal field, the learning from the course is still helping me in my current role. The day to day administration of my school which is a non-profit organisation requires compliance under Societies Registration Act, West Bengal and needs Payroll handling, TDS, EPF, ESI, Professional Tax and other Labour Laws related things. All these were covered very well in the diploma course.
In future, I plan to enroll for a management programme and thereafter join some MNC. I definitely feel the knowledge gained from this diploma course would help me in my future endeavors as well.
I have mentioned this Diploma course in my CV and my LinkedIn profile and have recommended the NUJS Diploma in Entrepreneurship Administration and business Laws to many of my friends and colleagues.
I would be happy to recommend this course to anyone. I feel the course content is very relevant to anyone working in a legal department and even for people from non-legal backgrounds. The course provides an extensive idea about how companies operate as it covers a wide variety of fields such as laws relating to H.R, Taxation, IPR, I.T. etc.
These days we have many Companies regularly applying for government tenders, they can benefit a lot from this course as it provides in-depth knowledge about points to be considered while applying for tenders, what clauses to include while entering into tender agreement etc. It also provides an exhaustive idea about how a company works, under the new regime of Companies Act, 2013 which would be beneficial for entrepreneurs, startups etc.
The course has been designed in an in-depth manner and if a person wants to learn the basics of Law, this course would be very helpful.
