Student Reviews - JGLS Alumni

Tongtong, China

LL.M. 2018-19,

JGLS program is full of diversity and inclusiveness. As an international student, I have received a lot of help from my teachers, faculty members and batch-mates. The most amazing thing about the program is that I came across many famous experts and listened to their sessions at close range. This experience has broadened my horizon. During the sessions, professors not only taught law, but also taught legal research, the use of advanced software, and writing skills. They also provide career counselling at various stages. These have benefited me for life.

Purbita Mitra, India

LL.M. 2016-17,

Pursuing the LL.M. program with JGLS has been a thoroughly enriching experience for me, which has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of Corporate and Finance laws from a global perspective. The well-structured curriculum focusing both on theoretical and analytical aspects of the subjects along with practical case studies, interactive sessions, and establishing insightful discussion with the distinguished teaching faculty was fundamental in ensuring my excellent academic performance. The program has not only built confidence in me for dealing with complex legal issues but also has opened up many career avenues before me.

Siddharth Malakar, India

LL.M. 2018-19,

The LL.M. program in Corporate and Financial Law and Policy with JGLS has been an enriching experience. The course is a perfect blend of academic discourses and practical exposure. The most distinctive feature of this course is its quality of faculty, with a majority of the faculty members have been practitioners and experts in their respective fields. This is showcased by the course structure and the quality of teaching, which ultimately prepares one for the real world. I recommend all prospective students who want to sharpen their academic skills while having a hold in corporate practice, to invest in the LL.M. program with JGLS.

Prateek Gupta, India

LL.M. 2016-17,

My experience for completing my LL.M. in Corporate Law with JGLS came with a lot of twists and turns, as I came from a traditional State University that taught only the theoretical aspect of the law. But during my time with JGLS, the most amazing thing was to learn about the practical aspects through assignments, the same assignments which are done by associates at a law firm. This experience bought a great boost to my career. The professors here are very helpful and taught us through various examples.
