For Law Students/Law Graduates/Candidates Preparing For Competitive Exams (Law) / Legal Practitioners/Individuals wishing to learn the basic fundamentals of Contracts
What comes in your mind when you hear “Indian Contract Act, 1872”?
- A technical subject with numerous tricky concepts.
- A small act with complicated provisions.
- Illustrations being the intricate part of the subject, but lack of understanding as to which illustration is to be read with which sub- provision.
- Plethora of landmark cases to be read with each topic
- Interconnecting of various provisions remains to be a challenge
One stop solution to all the above dilemmas is to understand the tricky concepts in detail with the help of illustrations and case laws as well as practice questions at the same time to ensure that the concept becomes clear and concrete in one's mind.
Let’s consider the doubts and myths one has when he/she makes up their mind to attain clarity over Indian Contract Act, 1872:
- The Indian Contract Act is a compact and unchallenging subject.
- It only revolves around illustrations rather than conceptual notions.
- Only Sections till Section 25 are relevant, rest of the Sections can be left.
- There is no logical way to learn and understand the Indian Contract Act
- A theoretical understanding of the Indian Contract Act seldom has a role to play in practical applicability.
WHY IS LAWSIKHO LAUNCHING THIS AS A SEPARATE CRASH COURSE?
Indian Contract Act has been observed as a major setback in any kind of exam and also when it comes to the practical application of laws, it has been seen to be one of the most functional streams.
Good things come in small packages, same is the case with Indian Contract Act. The act comes with quite a few diverse and detailed concepts which are essential to be dealt with, while understanding not just the concepts of contracts, but also gaining a grip over other inter-related laws. For example, the concepts of agency and bailment which form paramount parts of the Act cannot be understood without getting to the bottom of fundamental concepts like essentials of formation of a valid contract, how an agreement is formed, when an offer and acceptance is communicated etc..
To get a grasp of each of these concepts, it becomes essential to have a clear idea of the bare act provisions as well as relevant and landmark case laws with interactive and lucid content.
A student might feel confident about the concepts of Indian Contract Act, but it's niti-grities make it delusional and deceptive when it comes to actually solving a question based on Indian Contract Act as it has such detailing which can make a person bewilder and can land him in the state of a puzzle because lack of a general expertise over the subject and the manner in which it is taught in most Law Schools and various other institutions is unfortunately not up to the mark for a student to feel confident in attaining clarity. Let us consider an example, A proposes, by letter, to sell something to B at a certain price. B accepts A’s proposal by a letter sent by post. When does the communication of the acceptance is complete as against B (acceptor)? It is not completed when the letter is posted but only when the letter is received by A (offeror). This is how the concepts become tricky and confusing, which should be understood with the help of relevant illustrations to gain clarity.
Explore a teaching methodology that has made the subject interesting, interactive and completely antithetical to the idea of rote memorization. How does this help? Well it is a means to achieving an end- the end here being thoroughness of the concepts pertaining to the Indian Contract Act

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 the 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: We will send hard copy material through our service partners. We have three service partners.

If international students require hard copy material, they need to share their correct address and we will let them know the cost of the courier which they need to pay and then the hard copy will be dispatched. This is the process because the cost of an international courier is very high compared to the 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 the courier.
