UGC NET/JRF (Law) - A Roadmap to Excellence in Academia

Introduction

I finished my law school, but soon realised that a career in litigation or landing myself in a corporate job were not my true callings.

I believe that there is more to law than a fixed law school curriculum, perhaps like medicine, the legal domain is multidimensional and dynamic.

Looking forward, I do wish to have a work life balance but not at the cost of not finding joy, satisfaction and passion in my work. So much so that never a day goes mundane.

I wish my career chart to be marked by personal growth and the same to be an ever evolving process.

Maybe aspiring for a tough competitive exam like UPSC or Judiciary or having some experience of the uncertainties and rigours at the Bar is not a bad idea, but is keeping all eggs in one basket the best option? I must think about some back up!

Do these thoughts revolve in your mind every once in a while? Well there is no doubt that the foundation of every professional endeavour must be based on growth. But then how does one grow together in law as well as life skills? Isn’t it an ever evolving process, one has to learn, re-learn and constantly keep learning. And what is the best way to ‘learn’? Well this one is easy, it is to teach! Though one may say that the art of teaching never comes easy.

Even after graduation, you must be having fond memories of your favourite law professor, ever thought why is that so! Well because this person not just taught you the concepts of law with utmost clarity but was empathetic, took interest and ensured that you develop an interest in the subject in order to derive the maximum benefit out of it. This one academic truly made you a scholar out of a law student.

Think about it. Do you often see yourself as that one person who has the potential of inspiring thousands of students towards legal education or contributing toward legal reforms through effective research? Do you want to lead a group of researchers on government funded projects and be quoted in the media for the same? Well if this is the case then pursuing academics is your calling. However, the first step towards defining this roadmap is to know about the UGC NET Examination.

It definitely helps to start early to develop the kind of knowledge to crack various exams, secure JRF, develop research and writing skills that it takes to publish path breaking articles, crack interviews for the best teaching jobs, write books and be funded to present papers

On behalf of the University Grants Commission (UGC), the National Eligibility Test (NET) is conducted for determining the eligibility for Assistant Professor only or Junior Research Fellowship and Assistant Professor both. Several Indian States also conduct a parallel State eligibility exam for the same purpose i.e. to chalk out grain from chaff when it comes to academic teaching and research. One may ask, ‘isn’t a Masters Degree/ an LLM sufficient if one wants to teach in a university or research under a centrally recognised institution?’ Well, there is a reason that approximately 10 lakh candidates appear in the UGC NET exam, but only the top 6% of the candidates are able to qualify In June 2020, total 19516 candidates appeared for UGC NET (Law) and 1171 candidates qualified for NET and 118 candidates got JRF and this competition is increasing every year.

Why is this exam required? Consider the following:

Career Opportunity after qualifying JRF

Enroll in Doctorate and grant for fellowship - After qualifying for JRF, a candidate can take direct enrolment in a doctorate All the Central Universities, State Universities and the NLUs specifically give admission preference to JRF holders in their Ph.D. programs. A few benefits of a Doctorate degree are-

Not only does your analytical skill take a boost after having a Doctorate degree, you are also taken on priority in all academic jobs, with the same.
You specialize in an area of your interest. Isn’t having a prefix of ‘Dr.’ in front of your name quite an exciting idea!
Work as an Assistant Professor - The additional benefit to JRF qualified candidates is that they can also work as an Assistant

Professor and are considered on priority for permanent positions.

Work as a Research Associate at Central and State Universities.

Some eminent Central Universities like the Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi only interviews the JRF qualified candidates for their Ph.D program in the legal discipline.
You are exempted from giving Ph.D. entrance examinations.
Under the JRF Scheme, candidates get assistance as they undertake advanced studies and research leading to the Mphil and Phd.
After the initial tenure of 2 years, a fellow’s work is assessed. If the work is satisfactory, a fellow gets an extension of three years and an enhanced assistance of Senior Research Fellowship.

Career Opportunity after qualifying for Assistant Professor

Work as an Assistant Professor - After qualifying for Assistant Professor you can opt for teaching as a full-time career.
PSUs also recruit UGC NET qualified - You can also find a good career opportunity as Law Officer in PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings), which offers job opportunities to UGC NET qualified candidates. (PSUs like ONGC, IOCL, BHEL, etc.)

Before moving ahead, let us briefly understand the demands of the syllabus:

What lies next? As mentioned above, this is a tough competitive exam. The number of Law Colleges offering a Masters Program has significantly increased in the recent past as more and more law students are looking for opportunities in the Government or private sector that provide for a more stable career option. A yearly escalation in the number of candidates appearing for this exam is thus observed.

This brings us to highlight some of the common concerns shared by lawyers struggling to settle down while looking at the UGC NET exam as one of the strong contenders amongst various career options.

Common Concerns

This brings us to highlight some Some of the common concerns shared by lawyers struggling to settle down, while looking at the UGC NET exam as one of the strong contenders amongst various career options are.:

Lack of Job Security and pay cuts in recession / lockdown/ contracting economy.
Pressure to succeed.
The endless cycle of attempts and re-attempts.
Fear of losing time, if one fails to crack the exam.
Anxiety, stress and lack of motivation leads one to fall off the bandwagon.
Unable to identify the exact reason for failure.
Peer Pressure and High Competition.

Annually, several candidates fail to clear the exam on account of facing some difficulties

Some of the common challenges Faced by Budding Lawyers and Academics while appearing for and Cracking the UGC NET Exam are:

Common Challenges

Confusion as regards the selection of correct study material.
Lack of right mentorship and guidance.
Fear of vast syllabus.
Absence of guidance on General Paper.
Increasing competition.
Not practising papers within a limited time.
Falling off the bandwagon due to stress while preparing.
Not getting personalized advice and coaching.

Individual Challenges

Apart from the above-mentioned complexities, one has to face challenges at an individual level too, which often result in hurdles in achieving the goal.., These challenges are:

Peer Pressure.

Lack of an organised study cycle.
Not able to adopt a particular style of studying.
Not adopting scientific techniques of strategizing and retention.
Personal difficulties and mental blocks For Instance often a busy housewife does not have enough time for preparation, or a working professional is not able to manage work with studies.
Location disadvantage i.e the candidate is residing in a region from where The access to quality content becomes difficult.
High degree of competition and high failure rate leaves no scope for errors.
Difficulty in memorization of a vast syllabus: The trick here is to identify one's weak points and focus on areas that have a relatively higher weightage.
Uncertainty because of a change in format and non availability of past year papers: There have been significant changes in the examination pattern post 2017 and in 2020. Lack of an accurate source for Past Year Papers adds to one's already long list of worries while preparing for the exam. Recently, some new subjects were also added to the syllabus leading to an uncertainty regarding the level of questions that would be asked. Also, the inclusion of comprehension based questions in Paper-2 gets unpredictable for the students.
Lack of Practice as per the exam’s format: Time Management has a crucial role to play in cracking UGC Net along with JRF, for which a sufficiently targeted practice is the key.
Absence of progress indicators along your preparation journey. You can study for hours but still not know where you stand with respect to the rest of the competition. You need a measurable mechanism that tells you everyday how much of the preparation is complete and how much is left. You also need to know where you stand with respect to others who are preparing for the exam, else you risk losing focus and slowing down your preparation.
Absence of a systematic strategy for exam preparation and at the time of the examination. When you have limited time, how should you plan out your preparation? What aspects should you focus on? What can you leave out or focus least on during your preparation? How to find out your strengths and weaknesses? How to manage your time in the examination hall? Which questions to attempt first and which ones to attempt later? When should you take a calculated guess? These are some of the questions which need to be factored by you at the beginning of your preparation itself.
Preconceived notions about the exam or your strengths and weaknesses: You might think that you are really good at certain subjects and hence, do not require any effort to prepare for the same. However, such an idea without proper assessment (mocks and practice tests) often leads to a miscalculated attempt.
Technological and other difficulties in attempting a Lack of a mentor to motivate and guide you throughout. It is observed that the students often tend to lose focus and that happens mostly due to the preparation stress that a student undergoes. Everyone needs results nowadays but a very few tell you the way towards that. So, expert advice is always helpful whenever appearing for a competitive exam. A mentor can understand your mind set and help you accordingly on your path to success.
competitive exam online. We are slowly getting used to online classes on Zoom, Google Meet and MS Teams, but how exactly will an online exam environment work? A change in the medium of attempting exams (online vs. physical) requires some acclimatization to the new technology.

Other Factors

Besides, the unfortunate truth that needs to be addressed is as regards the current trend of Coaching institutes whereby:

There are not many Online as well as Brick and Mortar Coaching institutes dedicated to both the Papers of UGC NET (Law).
No flexibility in the timing of classes.
Not self-paced in terms of the subjects taught.
Only selected few good faculties to teach a couple of subjects well, thus not holistically providing quality content.
Mechanical motivation and guidance without considering individual differences.
Lack of focus on past year papers.
Lack of focus on a teaching methodology that is appropriate for the exam.

The theory and skills acquired through UGC NET Entrance Course would help a student claim freelance work easily vis-a-vis a student who has not acquired the same.
Working in a structured manner towards attaining the certification would help a candidate assess their standing both qualitatively as well as quantitatively with respect to course completion, thus taking them nearer to their goal of cracking the UGC NET Entrance Exam.
Attaining an NSDC certificate would further act as a motivating factor towards gaining expertise in relevant subjects.
The given certificate would count as relevant internship experience (however, not a substitute) in the job market.

FAQs

Who can enrol for the LawSikho Courses?

We recommend that you should have completed your Higher Secondary / Class XII from a recognized Board / University. In the 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 the 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 is welcome to join our courses.

Are hard copy study materials provided for reference, or are there only online classes?

Students of LawSikho will be provided hard copy materials, we will dispatch it within 45 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 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.

1. Indian Speed Post (Provides delivery ‘anywhere in India’ under contractual service)

2. Delhivery

3. Trackon Couriers Pvt Limited

If our service partners do not have a presence in your area and want to get the hard copy, you can send us a specific request.

LawSikho will not be responsible if the speed post bounces back or hard copy material is not delivered. We will levy the courier charge on you in such a scenario.

Please visit the respective course page to learn more about the hard copy study material policy of that course.

Will international students also be sent hard copy material?

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.

How do I figure out if the course covers a specific topic I want to study?

Would Live classes start from Module 1?

Please do not expect us to teach you like college courses. Those are not effective. Our focus is on giving you a realistic experience of doing legal work. Hence you will get different exercises and assignments every week and all relevant material to solve them. Please do not worry that you have not read other associated concepts. We are recreating the experience of working in a law firm or in-house legal department, and we found that this is the kind of training that works best. Live classes will relate to the week’s assignments. You can read the modules from module 1, but we advise you to follow the courses according to where the assignments take you. By the end of the year, you would have covered all the syllabus and retained everything.

If it feels complicated and challenging midway, do not worry. The course is designed like this. You need to stick to it, hold on for dear life and ride along as you ride a roller coaster. Our responsibility is that you are satisfied and get all the results that you were promised by the end. If you are not, you can hold us responsible. But please, please trust the course design and stick to it until the course gets over.

Are there any discounts available?

No, there are no discounts available. We do not believe in discounts and never give one. Prices have only increased over time and not decreased.

How is the course administered?

The course starts on the commencement date for your batch. You would get access to all the study materials on the online learning management system, which you can view on your computer or mobile phone (Android & iOS). The study materials cannot be downloaded or printed.

We will dispatch hard copy materials for reference within 45 (forty five) days. We cannot deliver videos and periodic updates in hard copy; hence hard copy materials are not recommended for studying to attempt exams. To stay updated with the latest developments, we strongly recommend that you learn from online materials.

Every week, you will be given exercises to perform, which we will discuss in a live online classroom.

What are the passing criteria?

The passing criteria for any course are 40% of the total marks and completion of weekly exercises, articles/assignments as mentioned in the course guidelines.

Please check the passing criteria section on the course page for more details.

What if a person fails to pass the course?

You can attempt the MCQ test only once.

If you fail in a course, you can request a re-examination once again. You can re-submit the required exercises and articles with a deduction of 3 marks.

How do I get my LawSikho certificate after completing the course?

Those who complete the course successfully will be awarded a LawSikho certificate. The certificate will reach you within 45 (thirty) days of course completion.

Please check the course guidelines for more details.

I am likely to have a busy schedule this year because of academics, co-curricular activities or enrollment in other courses like the CS course. Will this course be very demanding or time-consuming?

The course is designed keeping in mind the schedule of practising lawyers, working professionals, entrepreneurs and full-time students. The learnings are well spread out over a long period. There would be a specific learning objective every week, accompanied by assignments. It takes about 8-10 hours for a person of average intelligence to complete all course activities every week. You need to take this course one week at a time.

We do not guarantee that you will pass the course without putting in reasonable effort or attention. Still, the exact amount of time you would need to dedicate depends on your ability to grasp the material.

Is it possible for a person who doesn't know the law to study independently with the material given?

Yes, knowledge of the law is not a prerequisite for deriving value from the course. It is possible that what you learn in this course is entirely independent of any other course you have probably pursued or are pursuing. The course is designed keeping in mind that there will be many non-lawyers taking up this course. The only knowledge we assume is what one would expect to know after completing higher secondary school. All modules are reviewed from a high school graduate's perspective and ensured that they are effortless to understand.

You only require knowledge of the English language and basic computer skills to understand the concepts.

Is there placement or internship assistance for candidates who enrol in the course?

An active placement assistance program is available to students, including CV-writing, career guidance, and sharing of relevant job and internship opportunities. Job and internship opportunities will be shared with students on the WhatsApp group from time to time. Students who complete the exercises and perform well in those exercises and classes can be recommended to law firms, lawyers chambers and companies for jobs and internships. However, we do not guarantee any job or internship.

We have also started a career clinic for the benefit of our students. Students can visit our office in Delhi or seek career-related insights over phone or video calls on pre-designated days. More than 2000 positions have been shared with our students to date, and hundreds have got placements and internships through us. Our students have been placed in various law firms and other organisations as full-time employees and have obtained multiple opportunities for internships under the programme. How many opportunities you get will depend on your efforts in the course, and if you do the course well, you will be able to find jobs on your own.

We will also provide you with a career development course free of cost if you need it. Just ask our customer support if and when you need it after participating in at least three months of classes.

We also help you enhance your CV by writing and publishing articles and giving you networking exercises and coaching to build your professional network. Creating your professional network can make excellent opportunities available to you that you cannot even imagine today.

For more details, please see the placement assistance guidelines given on the course page.

What is unique about LawSikho courses? Why should I not take up any other online law course provided by other websites or a University, especially if it is significantly cheaper?

How the courses are created, and its philosophy - We aim to create extraordinary lawyers and support the legal industry. You will find no other course which is as practical, provides as much personal attention to every student, or as many opportunities.

Syllabus, coverage and approach to issues - We do not spoon-feed you but give you experience what you will experience when you work at top law firms or big in-house legal departments. You will be prepared for the best and the worst. You will learn to deal with any legal issues, even those we didn’t teach you about, because that is how our course is designed.

Live Exercises - Pilots are put on simulators to practice flying before they are given an actual aircraft to fly. That is how our courses work as well. Even before you start dealing with real-life cases and matters, we train you to do such work through simulation exercises. This experience is invaluable for ambitious lawyers. Think of our courses like an online gym or a martial arts dojo for learning legal skills that will make you amazingly successful.

Personalized support - you can ask questions in the learning management system, interact with us on WhatsApp groups and even call us when you are struggling. We are here to work with you to make you succeed.

Placement assistance - Do you know any other course where you get this level of placement assistance? Law firms and companies love to hire our students because it is tough to find such highly-trained talent. Ask our graduate students! Also, we make you write articles, publish, and enhance your CV and network with many people. This provides you with next-level opportunities in your career.

Doubt-clearing weekly exercises - Doubts are cleared every week. If you can’t wait, post your doubts inside the module itself, our experts reply within one working day.

What will be the grading system?

Grading system: Students will be graded according to the following grading system:

Grade	Percentage
F (Fail)	<40
C+	41 to 59
B+	60 to 79
A+	80 to 100

What if I want to migrate from one course to another?

Migration from one course to another is possible. Students should email their migration request to our support team at [email protected] within ten days from the enrollment date.

We will not accept any requests after ten days.

What if I want to migrate from one batch to another batch?

Yes, you can migrate from one batch to another after paying a migration fee of INR 2000/- (or as per the prescribed fee pertaining at the time of migration) and the course fee difference between the admitted batch and transferee batch if any. If migrated, the work or assignments submitted earlier by you will not be considered.

What if I am unable to complete the course in time?

A student is given a total time of 07 months from his batch commencement date to submit the minimum number of required assignments. If they fail to do so, they can submit their pending assignments after the 14th month with an extension fee of Rs 2000/-

They will get a four months grace period to submit their pending assignments after paying the late fee. Those who want to submit the assignments after 15 months from their course commencement date will not be allowed to pay late fees. They will have to migrate to the future batch within 3 years from the enrollment date after paying the migration fee and following the migration rules.

The month and year may vary as per the type of course. We suggest you check the Migration Rules of your course on the course page.

Do you conduct exams after completing the course?

Exams are conducted during the course duration only, not after the completion of the course.

Is this course recognized by any third party or Government Authority?

LawSikho courses are offered by a private company as a solution to learn practical skills. There is no recognition, no accreditation and no affiliation from the government or any University or any third party unless specifically mentioned otherwise.

What if I can’t finish the weekly exercises?

Weekly exercises are very important to learn the practical aspects for which you joined the course. You get sufficient time to complete those. In case you can’t finish them within the due date, you get an extension to complete them with a deduction of a few marks.

You will not get a LawSikho certificate if you fail to submit the required number of assignments and articles. These are mandatory requirements for obtaining the certificate and value of the course for which you enrolled.

Does the certificate have marks or grades mentioned?

The certificate will have the Grade on it. If students want to know their scores, they can write to us at [email protected]. We will provide their scores.

Is there any written exam at the end of the course?

Yes, you will have to attempt just one MCQ test at the end of the course for LawSikho certification.

What if I submit all assignments but miss the MCQ?

You must complete the required number of assignments and the MCQ test to complete the course successfully. They are mandatory requirements. You won’t get the LawSikho certificate if you fail to fulfil these requirements.

How is the course helpful if it is not recognized?

There are many certified courses in the market, including LLB, a qualifying criterion for becoming a lawyer. The problem is that even after doing them, people do not have the requisite advanced level practical skills needed to succeed. You can learn these things from our courses. Our students who are already working earn over Rs 1 lakh per month on average. That should give you an idea about what is so beneficial about our courses!

What is an online Live class?

An online Live class is a video conference-based class that you can attend from mobile, tablet and personal computer through an application. You can see the teacher and the teacher can see you. You can even share your screen with the teacher for comments if the teacher requests it, and the teacher can show you his or her screen. You can see other people attending the class also. There is usually a lot of discussion amongst the students and teachers in the class. It is very much like a live classroom except that you do not have to travel to access the class; you can access it on the go as long as you have internet and a device.

Can I get personal guidance in working on assignments that I find challenging?

We will point you out the relevant reading material and templates and precedences you need to solve an assignment. You can also freely discuss with other students in the course WhatsApp group. You can post queries in the learning management system as well while working on assignments. During the live sessions, you can ask questions to the expert and get your issue resolved. Sometimes it may be possible to schedule a call with evaluators and discuss with them, but this is at the discretion of the evaluator and at a time of his or her convenience. We cannot handle unlimited calls with every small question. You have to respect the time and availability of the evaluators also. For that, you already have the Learning Management System and the WhatsApp group, where you can post an unlimited number of doubts.

How is our training methodology unique and industry-proven? Is it endorsed by the legal industry in India or abroad?

Our training methodology is unique. While any outside authority does not endorse it, the success of our students speaks for itself. Our methodology is described in detail in the previous questions. The legal industry loves to hire our students who have gone through the entire training we provided. Major companies have been hiring us to train their legal teams and managerial executives with cutting edge legal courses. This is proof of our success.

Are there going to be classroom sessions?

Yes, in all our premium courses, there are live weekly classroom sessions. Apart from one session related to your course, sometimes you will be invited to attend extra free sessions on writing, networking or other relevant skills. However, the course is conducted through an online learning management system, enabling students to access study materials from anywhere in the world at their own time and convenience. Course materials will be accessible on the online learning management system, which you can assess on a laptop/desktop. You can also access the course on your phone by downloading the LawSikho app. We may upload some course materials around the time of your class about the relevant issue. Apart from this, you will have access to significant hard copy material as well.

Live sessions on exercises shared will be conducted online every week. Once or twice a month, you will also have a session on writing influential articles and networking skills. In total, students will have 5-6 live sessions every month. At times there could be extra sessions that are optional to attend.

Our experts' weekly online sessions will include feedback on the previous week's exercise and explain new concepts related to upcoming exercises.

What if I cannot attend the classroom sessions?

Attendance for sessions is not mandatory but crucial for learning to perform exercises that add value. Students who miss the session can watch the recorded versions of the sessions conducted on the Learning Management System (LMS) and the assignment portal (anything that is easier for you, it is uploaded on both platforms). We will add the recorded session to LMS within 48 working hours.

It is highly recommended that you complete weekly exercises. It is mandatory to submit 50% of subject exercises per course requirement and all writing assignments.

All study materials, including text, videos, drafting exercises, templates and regular tests, will be available only on the LMS and accessed using your login ID for the LMS. Students can also access the course through the state of the art mobile Apps, making learning convenient and accessible on a real-time basis.

Some courses require 100% of subject exercise submission. Please visit the course page to know the number of exercises and assignments to be submitted for a particular course.

I cannot find my question here. How do I proceed?

For any other help or clarification, or grievance, please write to us at [email protected].

Our student support team representative will write back to you with a personalized response within 24 working hours.

Don’t forget to mention your Enrollment Number, Course and Batch when you communicate with LawSikho.
