The Orientation & Contact Program for MBL 2009-10 is scheduled on 31-10-2009 to 2-11-2009 and thereafter from 06-03-2010 to 8-10-2010. Hope we receive the study material before the first such program.

Hello people,

I was a joinee at the MBL programme in the year 2003. However, I could not attempt any of the papers in all the years of admissibility for time constraints.

I saw this thread and felt I can be of help for any queries. I am from Bangalore and currently pursuing the Diploma in Intellectual Property Law from NLSIU.

Hi Ashutosh ...
yup industries are recognizing this course. But dont expect this course as a jumpstart to your career in the sense that its not an in demand qualification. It will help you in acquiring new skill sets and enhance your knowledge.

hi Akansha,

I am a CS n LLB from Mumbai with about 9 years of exp in Corporate Legal & Secretarial field. 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....

hi there ..
i recently joined the MBL dist learning program .. i was unable to attend the contact classes ..did anyone attend ?? can someone suggest how to go about it ?? I come from finance background ... Is it really that thought to get through this course ??

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.

Akanksha.

Hi Akansha, thanks for your very detailed reply to a query by a fellow member. It has useful information. 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.

Hi Shashikala, congratulations on your joining MBL. 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.

Thanks so much for all your replies .

You are welcome Ali

Akanksha.

hi Akanksha and others,

I wanted to check the feasibility and value of the new IPR program at IIT Kharagpur for B.Tech, MBAs. Is it worthwhile for a B.Tech or MBA to switch to the law profession and will it be fulfilling? your views solicited....
