Exploring Distance Learning Options for Legal Education and HR Professionals

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me if there is any option for distance learning to pursue LLB in Labour Law, as I am an MBA in HR?

Looking forward to your valuable reply.

Poornima

Hi,

There isn't any course for distance LLB, and even if you get such a course from some institute, then the same is not valued. If you wish to pursue MLW, you can do the same from Mumbai or Madras University. You can try for a PG in Mercantile Law or Business Laws from NLS or ICFAI via correspondence or part-time. You may also go for a short-term law course of six months in any law institute in Mumbai, Bangalore, or Pune.

Thank you,
Octavious

Hi Octavius,

Thank you for the information. I would like to make it clear to you what I am actually looking forward to. I want to either do a Law course or a Psychology course. Which one would you suggest for me? Also, could you clarify whether MLW is a correspondence course or regular?

I would prefer to do either of these courses through correspondence only, so please suggest universities that offer these courses and advise on which one would be better.

Looking forward to your reply.

Amith R.

Hi,

MLW is a full-time course. The other course you mentioned can be done via correspondence. If you ask me, I would not be able to suggest which course to do, as I don't know what you aim to do. If you plan to enter into industrial HR, then MLW is best. But if you plan to go for OD and OB, then go for psychology as that's more important in OB and OD. However, if you plan to work in a factory setup or production side, then go for MLW. Kamraj and Annamalai are the ones who will give you a correspondence degree in psychology.

Thank you,
Octavious

Hi Octavious/Peer,

Thank you for the information. I have actually checked out the details about the Psychology course from the University of Madras and also from Karnataka Open University. Regarding the Law course, I have looked into the details from AIIMAS. Anyways, thanks again for your suggestion.

Hi Octavious,

I have been reading your emails and the guidelines you have been providing. Please help me draft a campus recruitment e-learning module for internal education for the HR team. I need guidance on the process, how we should execute it, and the necessary requisites. Can you assist with this?

I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you.

Hi,

I would consider myself happy if I could be of any help to you. Give me some time, and I will get back to you with relevant data. I need some proper research to be done before I say anything to you. I think I have some data; let me collect more, and I will send it to you as a personal email.

Thank you,
Octavious

Hi,

I am an MBA in HR from IGNOU and an LL.B from Rajasthan University. For your information, LL.B is a professional course and cannot be pursued through distance learning mode anywhere in India. You can do a Bachelor of General Law/Academic Law (BGL/BAL) from Madurai Kamaraj University or Annamalai University, but with that, you cannot practice in the court of law. Those interested in pursuing LL.B from any university will have to do it through regular or evening classes. Look for an evening law college in your city. Moreover, you can pursue a PG Diploma in Labour Law & Industrial Relations from Kota Open University and H.P. University.

Dear Ms. Poornima,

In Madurai Kamaraj University, a Diploma in Labour Laws and Administrative Law is available. It's a correspondence 1-year course. You can also check it out at Madras University.

Dear Ms. Poornima ji,

You'd better choose ANNAMALAI UNIVERSITY (Distance Learning). The advertisement is published in the leading newspapers.

Hello Poornima,

Symbiosis Institute provides a correspondence as well as a full-time course, and it is highly appreciated globally as their course is highly intensive.

For more details, you may log on to www.symlaw.com.

Friends, if you join the regular college for LLB and then submit a letter to the principal stating that you are working, most colleges allow this. Therefore, you can complete your course without daily attendance. However, it is important to attend practicals and prelims on time.

Hi, I am Gopal Batra, a postgraduate in commerce. I want to pursue a Distance Learning postgraduate degree or diploma course in Operations Research from a recognized Indian University. Are there any Indian universities providing this course? Also, is a postgraduate commerce degree considered an eligible qualification for the same?

Hi,

If you are keen to look for some free resources on law, I found this site that I think may be of use: [Online Legal Coach](http://www.onlinelegalcoach.com). Just sharing... Cheers.

Hi,

You can pursue a P.G. Diploma in Labour Law & Industrial Relations from Kota Open University. Admissions are currently open for the one-year course.

Hi guys,

If you are looking for distance learning, there are not many that I know of. If you are interested in law-related subjects, why don't you consider the LLB from the University of London (external)? I think you should be able to sit for the exams in your country and still pursue it on a part-time basis. One of my sites also provides free materials on LLB - please feel free to use them. Alternatively, see if the university can offer you something more specific to your needs.

Cheers

Hi Folks,

If anyone wants to do an L.L.B. (Regular - Classes not compulsory) course in a Karnataka-based university with a Bar Council-approved college, please contact 09884123715 or email hrsiva@hotmail.com. This is the last chance this year; from next year, no one above 30 years old can do the course.

With reference to your above quote, I seek guidance. I have completed my MBA in HR and wish to pursue a course in LAW. The options I have are LLB, Masters in Business Law, and CS. Please guide me on which of the above studies would add value to my professional career.

I am eagerly awaiting your reply at the earliest as admissions to the above courses are closing soon. You may email me at sunil.kotian@hmshost.com.

There are various universities and colleges offering Diploma/Master's Degree in Labour Law or Business Law. For a two-year distance learning MLL programme, the options include:

1. Symbiosis - MLL (part-time, 2 years)
2. XLRI - (part-time, 2 years through Reliance centres)
3. IGNOU
4. KOTA OPEN UNIV
5. National Law School, PUNE - Mas. in Business Law

For one-year distance learning Diploma courses:

1. Symb - Dip in Labour Law
2. AIIMAS - Dip in Labour Law

There may be a few more, but I found these relevant. However, since all these are distance learning courses, can anyone here in the forum tell me if there are any regular programs in law being offered by colleges where attendance is not a must.

Hi Poornima,

You can study in Bangalore/Andhra Pradesh; there are some regular colleges (Bar Council approved courses). However, it is not offered in distance mode. Attendance is not necessary, and you can attend exams to obtain your degree. After that, you can begin your practice.

Hi,

I am an IT professional and want to know about MBA courses suitable for me. I am looking for a part-time course in Mumbai; even distance learning would work for me. Could you also suggest if there is something similar for LLB? I am willing to do full-time for LLB if necessary. Additionally, please advise if there are any options for psychology. I am open to full-time studies in psychology as well if needed. I am based in Mumbai.

Please suggest or email me if possible at shankar2004nag@yahoo.co.in.

Thank you.

Hi,

I have completed B.Com., a PG Diploma in IR and PM, and have just finished my MBA in HR. I am interested in pursuing a one-year PG Diploma course. Currently, I work as an Administration and Operations Manager in a Textile Manufacturing and Export Organization. In total, I have around 25 years of experience in various positions such as Executive Secretary, Administration Executive, Administration Officer, and Administration Manager. Although I am not particularly keen on labor laws, if studying them can lead to good career growth, I am open to it. Can anybody suggest a few options to help me make a decision? I am looking for options in distance learning only.

Thank you.
