I have been contemplating MBL from NLS since a few years but havent made up my mind as yet.... I had a few queries: 1. Do you think this course will give one more insights into the General Finance field, rather than just the Legal field? I feel i need to have some Finance exposure so that i can take higher responsibilities in Legal & Finance too..... 2. You mentioned that you were doing the Diploma in IPR from NLS. How good is this course? pls share more details....

Akansha Joined: 24 Sep 2009 Posts: 15	MBL n Dip in IPR from NLS Wed Nov 11, 2009 06:40 PM Hi Shikha, Firstly, let me take the opportunity to congratulate you on your achievements this far. It's really great to have come till here :) 1. Yes, it will give you insight into financial field as well, as the subjects include taxation, investment laws, trade laws, banking laws, IPR et al. However, if you are looking for core financial knowhow, you must opt for financial courses. This course is on laws involved in these subjects. Please note that it also depends on the student as to how much he reads and researches on different topics to make addition to his knowledge. I suggest that you go through the different modules on the website to get a better picture of its usage to you. 2. Yes, I am doing the IPR course from NLS. It's quite good. I have attended few contact classes as well. The crowd includes a lot of scientists and biotechnology students as the course comprises of biotechnology laws too. One thing is for sure. IPR at LL.B was just the fundamentals. Here, it is vast and comprehensive. Let me know what more you would like to know about it and I shall revert back. Hope this helps.

I am doing MBL (enrolled in 2009) and it has a module on IPR in the second year. But I suppose it will only touch certain areas of IPR and will not be as exhaustive as your course. Anyways, wish you all the best.

I too have enrolled this year and yes, did attend the contact classes at Bangalore. I would suggest you join some group on either yahoo or on orkut where you can follow the discussions by fellow students. That would help. Regarding pass %age, yes its pretty tough as its a masters degree and the standards set for passing are very high. Wish you luck in your endeavour.

Is it worthwhile for a B.Tech or MBA to switch to the law profession and will it be fulfilling? your views solicited....

Aliasgar Joined: 15 Sep 2009 Posts: 17	Help!!! Master of Business Laws from NLSIU Bangalore, India Fri Nov 27, 2009 11:38 AM Hi Nidhi I did attend the classes. As you might be knowing, now the question paper will be of 100 marks and the earlier procedure of submission of assignments, viva etc has been done away with. You will need to start with the study materials first and then refer to the other books suggested at the end of each module. You may refer to its website for more resourses. Its tough yes, but then the standards set for examination are also very high. All the best for your preps....

Aliasgar Joined: 15 Sep 2009 Posts: 17	MBL n Dip in IPR from NLS Fri Nov 27, 2009 11:44 AM Hi Shikha I am not too sure of what IIT K is offering in its IPR programme. Given its pedigree, I presume it will be good. Insofar as your question in regard to the utility of switching over to law is concerned, I would answer it in a slightly different manner. I would rather see a course in IPR or any other course in law (of the kind that NLSIU or IIT K offers) as an extention of your knowledge and qualification (& of course skills) rather than 'switching' over. Knowledge of 'law' will be useful and fulfilling for any professionals. In fact the courses are designed as such and are not to be seen as stand alone courses in the sense that an IPR certification or and MBL in itself would not take you very far career wise. Its an addendum, at best. Hope this helps

jsd Joined: 01 Dec 2009 Posts: 84	MBL n Dip in IPR from NLS Thu Dec 03, 2009 03:17 PM The law course in IIT is not intended to be a stepping stone for engineers to switch to law. Its more to 'round off' the legal knowledge of engineers who want to get into R & D - since most fresh engineer / MBAs usually have a very low awareness of law compared to CAs / CSs. incidentally, I also read there is some sort of dispute about the course before the bar council - as to whether a first law degree (like the one IIT offers) can be officially offered as a 'speciality' course in IPR.

anshusahij82 Joined: 16 Mar 2010 Posts: 2	Help!!! Master of Business Laws from NLSIU Bangalore, India Wed Mar 17, 2010 10:03 AM Hi, from what I concluded after having gone through the first year, is that instead of looking here and there for study material, finish the nls study material for mbl. But make sure that u r thru with these books cover to cover. Be particularly careful about contract laws. Most of the paper is problem based. U should have a clear idea of the law in india on an issue, as the book will give position both in England and in India. In contract atleast go through all the cases given in the book so u r familiar with the rational of the decisions. For all other subjects must read the study material of nls thoroughly. If that much study is proper, then u won't get foxed by the paper atleast. U'll be familiar with the issues asked. If possible make notes. In exam time they are very very helpful. U will not have time to read through the book again. Notes will also ensure u have a clearer idea of the subject. There may be a lot of annexures at the end of each module. If aim is only to answer the questions asked, the annexures need not be gone thru thoroughly. I did not see a single question from annexures. I did not score high in first year so feel free to draw ur own conclusuions after taking advise from others as well.
