Posted by NUJS’S Online Course: “Real Estate Laws” from National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata
2017 could be very well the year of online education, as more and more students, professionals and executives turn to learn online. One major trend is online courses certified by well known Universities.
National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata, one of the top National Law Universities, launched a certificate course in Real Estate Laws.
Real estate is considered to be a symbol of wealth in India. While the industry reported slower growth in 2017 so far, it represents 9% of India’s GDP and is a key employment driving sector.
It is also known to be a sector where laws and regulations make up a key business factor.
With the introduction of a law for regulating real estate developers, and recent spate in failure of real estate companies to deliver properties as per agreement, the importance of lawyers and executives with regulatory experience and expertise is higher than ever.
Both clients and builders, and consequently law firms are courting legal minds who can get the job done and protect valuable interests.
In the light of growing importance of law and regulations as well as training of real estate executives and lawyers in new areas of law, launch of this course by NUJS to impart practical legal knowledge regarding real estate laws will be significant.
About NUJS:
NUJS Kolkata is one of the most known and reputed premier law institutions of India. NUJS Kolkata has been launching a slew of practical legal online courses like Certificate Course in Industrial and Labour Laws, Business and Administration Laws, Intellectual Laws and Cyber Laws, Banking, Insurance and Finance Services, etc.
About the Online Course on Real Estate Laws:
- The Certificate Course on Real Estate Laws is a comprehensive course covering the laws and regulations governing the real estate sector in India and what is the procedure of real estate transactions in our country.
- Real estate contributes about 9% to India’s GDP but this sector so far has been largely unregulated and non- supervised. With the enforcement of the Real Estate Act, 2016 rights, duties and obligations have been created for both the consumers and developers. This course teaches about the legal compliances required under the Real Estate Regulation Act, 2016, as well as all the other important legislations, local and national. It covers due diligence required on part of the consumers as well as developers and the important agreements that form part of the real estate transactions.
- This sector is also a major employer of lawyers and fresh graduates. However, law students and young lawyers rarely have access to the practical insights of the industry, making their absorption difficult. This makes this course very valuable to those who are looking for a job in a real estate law firm or companies.
- Even if you are looking at working independently with a few builder clients and build up your practice, this course will be of immense help. If you are planning to practice civil and commercial law, gaining expertise and credentials in Real Estate law is a great idea. Apart from big cities which have many law firms specialising in Real Estate Laws, in tier 2 and tier 3 cities the demand for real estate expertise is really high and supply of trained lawyers in this area is next to nil.
Learning Objectives of the Real Estate Law Course:
- The learning imparted under this course shall give you an edge over the regular law courses that focus on sections and case laws by including practical aspects and best practices of the real estate transactions. For instance, knowing sections from property act related to mortgage is hardly sufficient when you are called on to conduct a due diligence on a real estate company by a potential investor, which may have many mortgages in different places and you have to evaluate legal risks associated with them. Similarly, if you have to prepare a mortgage agreement for a bank, ability to draft and negotiate will become essential. Law schools are rarely able to teach these essential skills, a gap which this course is filling up.
- It helps you go beyond and equip with knowledge which otherwise is only attained through personal mentoring of a capable lawyer or working many years in jobs and therefore can help you to get noticed during your internships leading to a PPO, and definitely in job interviews.
Target Audience of the Real Estate Law Course:
- The certificate course is designed in manner to enable law students, young lawyers, real estate executives, builders, CAs, CSs, etc. to learn the ropes of real estate transactions.
