Understanding net neutrality and its effects
Net neutrality and its application in India
None of our courses are recognised, accredited, or validated by any university, government or third party. We consider government regulatory standards as impediment to offering high quality courses we offer at an affordable cost, and hence offer informal, non recognised courses rather than collaborating with formal universities.
This course is offered as a skill development course by a private company. LawSikho is India’s leading online legal education provider and provides high quality legal courses that teaches you how to do practical legal work as required by the industry.
For any recruiter or client, what matters the most is whether you possess the relevant skills to match their needs and serve their interests. We will train your in rare and important skills that are highly in-demand and our initiative is one of a kind.
Experts review the syllabus and course content for all the courses. These experts are drawn from law firms and the industry at large. The course is conceptualised, co-ordinated and marketed by LawSikho, a venture that aims to make justice accessible to people from all walks of life through access to superior legal knowledge.
The legal industry knows and respects our work, and they know that anyone who finished our course and obtained certification has a certain level of knowledge and skills. If nothing else, you will be appreciated for the knowledge and skills you would acquire through our courses and would be able to demonstrate after due completion.
We recommend that you should have completed your higher secondary / Class 12 from a recognized board / University. In case of foreign nationals, you should have completed the equivalent of Higher Secondary in India in your respective country. You should also be comfortable with English language and using a computer. However, we have no formal pre-qualification requirements because we are not a university or college. Anyone who wants to learn are welcome to join our courses.
Students of LawSikho Diplomas will be provided hard copy materials within 30 days of your course commencement date.
However, online classes, videos, regulatory updates and periodic upgrades to the courses cannot be included in the hard copies. We will provide you with hard copy material for all important chapters. We keep adding many new chapters from time to time and there are restrictions on page numbers so all online material cannot be available in hard copy. We would keep adding new material online from time to time, so please do not expect all such material to be made available in hard copy also. You can use the hard copy materials for your reference, however, we recommend that you do not exclusively rely on hard copies for cracking the assessment test and the exercises. Please refer to the online library of materials from time to time.
Note: Hardcopy material is sent through Indian Speed Post (As more places are serviceable by post than courier), If your area is not serviceable and if you want to get hardcopy by courier send us a specific request, If this is not done and speed post bounces back then we need to levy the courier charge on you.
If an international student require hardcopy material, they need to share their correct address and we will let them know the cost of courier which they need to pay and then the hardcopy will be dispatched. This is the process because the cost of international courier is very high compared to domestic courier within India (for domestic courier we have no additional charges). Some international students provide us with an Indian address for couriering hard copy material. In those cases, we charge nothing extra for courier.
