    Introduction of the Education Industry

    3.1) Education Industry in India

    The Indian education industry is poised for growth. This sector is changing rapidly

    with more private players entering the field. The government is also taking many measures to

    improve the quality of education in India. This industry is going to achieve its peak as the

    idea of business via education catches up.

    Fifty percent of India's population is the youth. This means that the Indian education

    sector is huge with a population of 1.13 billion. India has around 367 universities, 18,000

    colleges, about half a million teachers, and 11 million pupils. The private education industry

    is estimated to be between 20,00025,000 crores. There are about 1,500 management

    institutes, 3,500 engineering institutes, and 1,200 medical colleges in the country.

    As of 2008, Indias post-secondary high schools offer only enough seats for 7% of

    Indias college-age population, 25% of teaching positions nationwide are vacant, and 57% of

    college professors lack either a masters or PhD degree. As of 2007, there is 1522 degree-

    granting engineering colleges in India with an annual student intake of 582,000, plus 1,244

    polytechnics with an annual intake of 265,000. However, these institutions face shortage of

    faculty and concerns have been raised over the quality of education.

    3.2) Educational institute: - There are main two types of educational institute, 1).

    Formal education institute and 2). Supplementary Industry or coaching Institute.

    Supplemental education industry/Coaching industry has been one of the fastest

    growing sectors in last decade. If you look into late 80s or early 90s, there were hardly 2-3

    prominent players in India but today this market is crowded with enough number of players.

    We may see the list of the leading coaching centre across India, Career Launcher, PT

    education, Endeavour, TIMES, Navigator, etc.

    From swanky offices to teachers earning salaries in lakhs and crores, this segment of

    education industry has got lot of potential going forward. Today, with increasing number of

    students appearing for each and every entrance examination the competition became tough to

    get admission in university of our choice; students need proper guidance and training to crack

    the State or national level entrance examination.

    A decade or two back the word coaching or tuition was an option for the weak

    students, but now it is as much a norm for any student esp. the aspirants of exams like IIT,

    AIEEE, CLAT, CAT, MAT, GCET, JEE etc.

    The education industry consists of schools, colleges, universities and

    various private institutions.

    The education sector can be broadly classified into three categories:

    Primary education: This includes the education offered from nursery to the twelfth

    grade by various public, private and religious schools.

    Higher education: This includes various state-run and private collages and

    universities. This also includes Med Schools, Law Schools and Business Schools.

    Vocational education: This includes industry/job oriented education, based on the

    apprenticeship method of learning.

    The education industry is not just restricted to these categories. It also includes

    ancillary education services, such as after school tutoring, charter schools, special oralternative education, educational content suppliers and professional development of

    administrators and teachers.

    3.3) History of the Education Industry

    Education has been practiced since time immemorial to instill social and cultural

    values. In the ancient times, the education system was verbal, carried out generally by the

    elders of the family. The writing system developed around 3500 BC, enabling the recordingand sharing of information. In most ancient societies, the state of literacy was bleak for

    centuries.

    The education industry was initially associated with law, trade and

    commerce, religion and civil administration. Formal education was available to only a small

    fraction of the population. The system developed in most countries after 1850 CE.

    The modern education industry consists of training by professionals and organized

    instructions with respect to systematic curricula and pedagogy.

    Education is the base for economic growth as well as social transformation for any

    country. Among all the key indicators of socio-economic development like economy's growth

    rate, literacy rate, birth rate, death rate and infant mortality rate (IMR), the literacy rate of the

    country is one of the most vital one as the rise and fall of others largely depend upon

    country's literacy rate. In India, high literacy rate leads to low birth rate as well as low IMR

    and it also increases life expectancy rate. So, the importance of education industry in India

    can be understood.

    The education system in India is much more improved these days and is one of the leading

    ones in the world. It is also one of the biggest contributors to the economic growth of the

    nation. Besides various government initiatives, the role of the private institutions in the

    development of education industry in India cannot be denied.

    The private education market in India is estimated to be worth $40 billion in 2008 and will

    increase to $68 billion by 2012. However, India continues to face challenges. Despite

    growing investment in education, 35% of the population is illiterate and only 15% of the

    students reach high school.

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    11/56

    objective. The goal-setting process forms the core of academic delivery in any CL program.

    The faculty at CL works as facilitator rather than a teacher. They mentor, guide and assist

    learning. The central research and development team designs and validates each program

    with a pilot batch of students before the program is launched in CL.

    The study material is prepared and continually updated in-house at the Phi Lab applying

    Instructional Design theories. In a typical academic year, highly qualified subject experts put

    in over 30,000 hours of work, refer to over 1000 books and more than 70,000 pages of

    content and create distinct copyrighted content for the various programs of CL.

    Our expert mentors and faculty are qualified engineers, eminent professors, PhDs and

    management graduates from prestigious institutes such as IITs, IIMs, NITs and other top-

    notch universities. They continue to go through rigorous training, brainstorming and analysis

    sessions at our training school - the Inner Circle. They challenge themselves by taking

    various entrance examinations each year.

    Success Mantra

    At CL we believe that students succeed singularly because of their own efforts. CL only

    mentors its students and provides them with a learning environment to bring out the winner in

    them. The inputs from CL remaining the same for each student, success depends on the

    aspiration, tenacity and perseverance at the individual level.

    Core idea:

    Mentoring at CL

    Mentoring is a process integral to the existence of CL. Experienced mentors counsel the

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    12/56

    students at CL, help them set goals, review and track progress and guide them accordingly.

    The mentors at CL are reachable round the clock and are ever ready to help their students in

    every aspect.

    People at CL

    CL-ites are a group of young, like-minded individuals. What binds them together is a

    passion for education, sincerity of purpose and flair for innovation.

    Once a part of the CL family, you can expect to face a new challenge everyday and have

    complete freedom to make your own choice while pursuing this dream called education.

    2.2) Career Launcher build customer social responsibility: (CSR)

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    13/56

    Career Launcher advocates the belief that it is up to each one of us to come forward and

    shoulders our responsibility towards our environment. It endeavors to promote a culture of

    energy conservation among its employees.

    Communications and databases involved in HR processes and appraisals are strictly kept

    online, which results in considerable reduction in paper usage. Recently, when CL required

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    14/56

    new servers, it went for Sun Fire T2000s, which are considered the world's first eco-

    responsible servers.

    Last June, 8 students from NSIT, Delhi approached Career launcher with a not so common

    initiative, which was to support them for making a Solar Car, which would enable them to

    participate in a rally in South Africa. Although it was a very unusual proposal when

    compared with the regular college sponsorships Career Launcher involves in, it was found to

    be very much in tune with our core values. Thus, CL went ahead with the sponsorship, and

    was made proud by the team when it finished as Second Runners up in the World Solar

    Racing Competition, at Pretoria.

    Besides providing educational opportunities, Career Launcher desires to play its part in

    preserving our Earth's beauty and its gifts that we inherited from our ancestors, for our

    children.

    Career Launcher, in its quest to democratize quality education, found it only natural to extend

    its reach to the rural, underprivileged section of our society. The future of our nation depends

    greatly upon the education of today's children, and with a vast section of our society existing

    below the poverty line; it becomes imperative to take an initiative that effectivelydisseminates quality education at a reasonable cost.

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    15/56

    With its 'Bottom of Pyramid' schools, Career Launcher is looking to carry forward such an

    initiative. These schools especially address the educational needs of our underprivileged

    children, function with the dual objectives of maintaining standards of 'excellence' along with

    widespread 'access'.

    Career Launcher has initiated 10 Bop schools, in Andhra Pradesh, as its pilot project. Based

    on the learnings from these schools, Career Launcher will go on to establish an ever

    widening web of Bop schools all over our nation.

    n collaboration with Roshni Academy, Career Launcher Education Foundation organized an

    intensive two-week training program in June 2008 for 30 girls. At the end of the programme,

    half of the students were awarded a full university scholarship by Nurul Hasan Education

    Foundation.

    These underprivileged students got access to Career Launchers personality development

    training with special emphasis on English speaking, Computer Literacy, Communication and

    Public Speaking; advice on important topics such as health, nutrition, hygiene, and also

    access to key resources such as health clinics, legal clinics, digital equalizer centers and

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    16/56

    microfinance banks.

    Speaking about the initiative, Ms. Uma Narayanan, Program Director, CLEF, said We take

    pride in this cause to serve the society. Our efforts have been to train these students to help

    them become self dependent.

    The success of this pilot programme has strengthened Career Launchers resolve to involve in

    ever-greater endeavors focused towards nurturing tomorrow's leaders.

    Besides providing placement opportunities and employability enhancement skills for college

    students, as well as sales and customer service executives in BFSI and FMCG industries,

    Skill School also aims at reaching out to rural India through government and corporate

    partnership ventures. Its Livelihood Skills Programme and Government Partnerships wings

    are geared towards these objectives, and are actively involved in the process of creating

    opportunities while networking with potential employers. The goal is to touch as many lives

    as possible, and as soon as possible, which is the most effective strategy while addressing a

    country such as India, with millions of unemployed people.

    Currently, Career Launcher is operating such training institutes in Haryana, Punjab, Andhra

    Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Chattisgarh. In collaboration with the Rajasthan

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    17/56

    Government, under the Rajasthan Mission on Livelihood (RMoL) project, Career Launcher

    has established two training centers, at Bikaner and Jhunjhunu.

    On the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, a blood donation camp was

    organized at the Career Launcher Corporate Office in Okhla, New Delhi.

    The camp was conducted in association with the AIIMS Trauma centre. More than 50

    employees of Career Launcher donated blood on this occasion.

    Amongst the key donors were Satya - Chairman of Career Launcher, Gautam Puri - ViceChairman, and the Directors and other employees of the organization.

    This was the first of the 120+ blood donation camps that Career Launcher plans to organize

    at all the locations where it is present in India. This is an initiative towards "Building India"

    involving the youth of the nation. Career Launcher intends to make this an annual property

    towards its efforts in Building the Nation.

    Career Launcher is always eager to do its bit towards uplifting society and creating an

    environment that offers opportunities for all. It involves itself with several events that address

    the needs of our society and inspire our youth to come forward and help shoulder ourcollective responsibility.

    Last November, Career Launcher held an event called Confluence at The Capitol, Bangalore,

    which dealt with the following issues: current industrial scenario, competence building and

    trends in global and national economy. The event was a roaring success with panelists such as

    Capt Girish, Sr HR Manager at TCS, Preeti Prayag, HR Manager at Sun Microsystems and

    Prof Narahari, Head Placement at RVCE.

    Tycoons: Tycoons is a national level, personality-centric, on-campus event, which aims at

    providing a platform to the future youth leaders of our country. The idea is to provide our

    youth an opportunity to hone and showcase their leadership skills. The first Tycoons event

    took place in 2005, and its reception and popularity among the youth propelled its success

    and scope, year after year. Tycoons 2009 will cover 2000 colleges, spread over 110 cities and

    CHAPTER - 4

    Introduction of the Project

    1.1) LST (Low school tutorial)

    LST is a premier institution in the field of law entrances and legal education. The

    organization plays a critical role in developing legal education awareness through

    partnerships with top law schools. In 2004 LST joined hands with one of India's leading

    education corporate to expand its reach and capabilities even further. That corporate is Career

    Launcher, which was founded in 1992 by a group of IIM and IIT graduates. LST is now a

    division of Career Launcher and is present at more than 45 cities in the country servicing

    close to 3500 students every year. The rich experience of people, who have themselves been

    part of top law schools and have worked with leading industry organizations, has helped LST

    grow from a leading law training operation to a national leader, a pioneer in its field of

    education, and an incredibly successful business.

    In 2007 nearly 75% of all students entering the top law schools were LST alumni. In 2008,

    the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) was conducted for the first time and the resultsfor LST and LSTians turned out to be phenomenal. All India Rank 1 for the second

    consecutive year went to an LSTian. LSTians bagged 19 out of the top 20 and 92 out of the

    top 100 ranks. LST in partnership with NALSAR, NLIU and GNLU has been carrying out

    legal awareness workshops, spreading awareness about careers in law and law schools itself.

    That speaks volumes for the credibility of LST.

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    21/56

    LST today is a young and professional organization that has resources across the country and

    a smart, experienced team that works to support law aspirants and law students through a

    wide variety of products and offerings.

    1.2)History of LST

    The Conception

    It all began in Nagarbhavi, once a sleepy little suburb tucked away among some hillocks just

    outside Bangalore, now the hotbed of Indian legal education, and home to the National Law

    School of India University.

    LST was conceived in the autumn of 1999 by a group of NLSIU students and alumni. Having

    gone through the rigorous and often confusing examination and admission process ourselves,

    we perceived the need for an organization that could provide a clear and comprehensive

    guide to the bewildering territory of law school examinations and admissions. This goal has

    evidently been reached, with hundreds of students admitted in the best law schools in India,

    including NLSIU, NALSAR and NUJS, despite the very limited number of seats available.

    The Founders

    The founding members of LST Team have each achieved professional success and worked

    with leading industry organizations. Sachin Malhan graduated from NLSIU in 2002, as did

    two other founding members, Badri Natarajan and Sameer Singh. Mamta Sundara, who

    graduated from the NLSIU in 1999, joined LST in its infancy to play a key role in its early

    years.

    Sachin worked on high profile corporate transactions and litigation with Amarchand

    Mangaldas, arguably India's finest corporate law firm, before leaving to direct all his energies

    at LST, which he established into one of the leading preparatory training organisations in the

    country and continues to be associated with intimately.

    Sameer, Badri and Mamta, while no longer involved in its management, still advise and guide

    LST. Badri completed an LL.M at the London School of Economics and works with leading

    international law firm Clifford Chance in London. Sameer played a vital role in the

    foundation and setting up of LST before leaving LST to avail of the prestigious Rhodes

    scholarship at Oxford University. Sameer currently works at the leading consulting firm

    Boston Consulting Group. Mamta Sundara presently works with British Telecom in

    Singapore after several years at leading Indian law firms.

    24/56

    Aside from the original founder group there are others whose contributions have shaped LST

    into the pioneering force that it is today. Padmini Menon, who anchored LST operations for

    the longest time, endearing herself to our first few batches, Bhavin Patel, NLSIU batch of

    2002, shaped LSTs legal reasoning delivery into an unparalleled learning experience; Maj

    Gen. Ram Naidu (retd.) and Sheila Sudheendra led the development of the second version of

    LSTs training material - content that received phenomenal feedback from students across the

    country and led to record-breaking results in the 2007 exams; Robin Louis, who was largely

    responsible for lawentrance.com becoming the force that it is today and Senthil Kumar, who

    has done more legal education awareness building than is humanly possible.

    How LST helps the Students?

    Career option after 12th standard:

    One of the Most Important Decision in the Life of a Young person is to choose an

    Educational Program that leads to a Career or Profession. It is a life long commitment for the

    young people to choose the Best Career Options after their 12th or choosing a Career option

    after graduation.

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    25/56

    For 12th standard in any Stream, What to do after 12th? This is the biggest question in 12th

    class/ HSC students mind today.

    LST helps those students who are interested in law and they want to make career in law as

    well.

    LST is the place to be for any law aspirants.

    LST give the student basic framework and foundation.

    Why study law?

    What do you love about the law, Andrew?

    I... many things... uh... uh... What I love the most about the law?

    Yeah.

    It's that every now and again--not often, but occasionally--you get to be a part of justice

    being done. That really is quite a thrill when that happens.(Dialogue from the court scene in the motion picture Philadelphia, 1993)

    Except for those fortunate ones with lawyers in the family, the rest of us grew up thinking of

    lawyers as black & white social outcasts chirping the occasional 'mee lord' in B-grade

    bollywood flicks. Most of us never even contemplated law as a career option when we made

    those vital decisions of picking careers. However over the last decade the popular perception

    of the law degree has changed dramatically. Law has become a strong and versatile career

    option inspired by world class law schools such as the National Law School in Bangalore andsubsequently NUJS in Kolkata, NALSAR in Hyderabad, NLU in Jodhpur and NLIU in

    Bhopal. The older institutions such as the legendary Government Law College in Bombay

    and the equally famous Faculty of Law in Delhi have responded positively and pruned their

    curriculum to face up to the challenge. The result - the five year law degree has all the

    ingredients to make it a excellent career option.

    Alumni of the top law schools, notably the National Law School in Bangalore, have excelled

    in diverse areas. They walk the corridors of the Supreme Court, the various High Courts, the

    top corporate law firms and business houses, agencies of the United Nations and the other

    stellar organizations. Alumni of these colleges even teach at leading law schools such as

    Oxford and Harvard. The reason why such a variety of jobs and further study options are

    available is the versatility of the five year law degree. Civil and criminal law are no longer

    the principal pillars of the five year law degree as students also study corporate and

    commercial law, mediation and negotiation, international law, intellectual property law,

    environmental law and human rights law, just to name a few disciplines. Consequently, the

    degree equips you, not just to be an accomplished lawyer but also a businessman, bureaucrat,

    diplomat, social activist or academician. Job applicants amongst the graduating batch at the

    National Law School this year were recruited at average annual salaries comparable to the top

    management schools. It goes without saying that financially the profession is hugely

    rewarding.

    What do Lawyers do?

    "No brilliance is required in law, just common sense and relatively cleans fingernails."

    John Mortimer

    While searching for the perfect quote to begin this explanation of what lawyers really do, I

    faced the same problem I'm sure a lot of other people must have faced down the ages: people

    simply do not have nice things to say about lawyers! While jokes, one-liners and snide-asides

    aimed at lawyers abound, not many people have taken the time to explain in simple words the

    work that lawyers perform on an everyday basis!

    Fortunately, you won't have to look much further than the quote above. At the most basic

    level, lawyers apply common sense to everyday and extraordinary situations alike. If you're

    smart, think well on your feet, and love proving your point, the law is for you!

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    29/56

    Whether it's an intricate issue of constitutional law that will help preserve our fundamental

    rights, or a matter involving a simple traffic violation, a lawyer is called upon to resolve

    conflicts between people through the application of simple, everyday, common sense.

    Lawyers do this in various places, and through different means. The most familiar image, of

    course, if of lawyers screaming their lungs out in courts of law, wearing what looks to some

    of us like a tacky black bathrobe more than anything else! Litigating lawyers, as these

    lawyers are called, represent their clients in court. Litigating lawyers are called upon to argue

    various kinds of issues, ranging from property matters to criminal matters, constitutional

    issues to matters of family law. Black and white and vociferous, these lawyers argue the law

    to make sure that their clients' interests are represented in the best possible manner before

    those that will decide matters of a whole lot of importance to a whole lot of people.

    Other lawyers work with corporate houses or in law firms that service corporate. Here,

    lawyers work mainly as facilitators, helping companies work smoothly, efficiently, and

    within the boundaries of the law. Lawyers help business work in the best possible manner,

    and are an extremely important part of any business transaction. Huge mergers, large stock

    market issues, and foreign investments are all very cool to talk about, but unless you have

    someone who understands how these things work, and can get them done in the best possible

    way, all you'll ever do is talk about them! Simply put, without lawyers, many corporate

    would find themselves struggling to understand how to actually put their ideas in place.

    Lawyers make it happen!

    Lawyers are sometimes also referred to as 'social engineers'. As you would know, our society,

    the way we live, and what we do everyday, are all loosely bound by a mesh of rules that we

    call 'laws'. It is the job of lawyers to understand these rules, and to help people live their lives

    most meaningfully. Many lawyers help people in distress, advocating areas that they are

    concerned about, such as child rights, women's issues, or the protection of refugees. If you

    really want to make a difference to people's lives, if you're actually concerned about

    something, and if you actually want to go out there and get something done right, this is the

    way to go for you!!!

    Aside from these, lawyers today work with people from every walk of life, interpreting laws,

    applying legal principles, and, above all, helping people tackle problems on every scale.

    Simply put, an ideal lawyer is a smart, intelligent person who applies common sense to

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    30/56

    common and uncommon problems alike, and helps people find their paths out of the

    wilderness.

    1.3) Career Options

    Corporate Counsel

    Several law students opt to work with the in-house legal department of a corporate after

    graduating from law school. Legal managers play a critical role in the functioning of a

    company, and are responsible for drafting, vetting, and in several cases, negotiating contracts

    for the company, ensuring and monitoring compliance with laws, and handling legal disputes

    that the company may be involved in. Corporate counsel are required to interact with severaldifferent functions in a company, understand business and operations needs, and serve these

    needs in a manner that is both suitable and legal. Exposure to some of the best legal minds in

    the country is a given, as corporate counsel 'brief' leading lawyers who appear for the

    company in courts and tribunals. GE Capital, ICICI Bank, ITC, IBM, Infosys, Satyam,

    Wipro, Dr. Reddy's, Biocon, Price water house Coopers, KPMG and HLL are some corporate

    giants that frequent law school campus recruitment programs.

    Litigation

    A law firm is usually a partnership between lawyers who have come together to offer their

    expertise to clients under one name. These partners share the profits of the firm as well as the

    risks (liabilities), and engage other lawyers to work with them as associates. These associates

    can work at the firm for a period of time, and, provided they establish their competence at

    work, can even become partners at the firm and share in the profits and management of the

    firm. Law firms cater to the interests of companies and private individuals alike, though most

    of the large law firms deal exclusively with corporate houses, i.e. companies. Work at a law

    firm involves dealing with a wide variety of problems that may or may not be restricted to a

    particular area of the law (depending on the specialization and culture of the firm).

    The top Indian law firms offer salaries that can go as high as 6 lacs a year (with the

    occasional offer reaching as much as 10 lacs). Foreign law firms (with foreign postings) offer

    salaries that can go as high as 16 lacs.

    31/56

    Social Work

    Law schools often include several courses designed to address relevant social issues in their

    course curriculum, including gender concerns, caste-based discrimination, employment,

    working conditions, environmental protection and the marginalization of various peoples.

    Most law schools take this a step further: NLS, for example, deals with these matters in detail

    through the Centre for the Child and the Law (CCL), the Centre for Women and the Law

    (CWL), the Centre for Law and Economic Analysis and Research (CLEAR) and the Centre

    for Environmental Law Education Research and Advocacy (CEERA). These centers address

    such issues through various research projects and action plans. Students work with professors

    on the same projects and the Government often takes the assistance of these centers. The

    effect of such exposure is reflected in the fact that a sizeable number of law school students

    join Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that work with these issues. Graduates from

    law school are also offered opportunities to work with international organizations such as the

    United Nations and with international war and crime tribunals.

    Law and Business

    A graduate of a good law school takes away skills that are applicable in almost any walk of

    life. Skills such as good communication, problem solving, risk identification, and dispute

    resolution are priceless in the world of business. If you dig business management then there is

    a road ahead! There are three broad routes you could think of - one is gunning for a business

    management job immediately after law school; the second is making the shift from a legal job

    to a business management job; and the third is to go do an MBA. There are pros and cons

    with each choice. Let me list them out for your reading convenience.

    Academia

    Now, how many institutions can boast of training a student, right from the moment they step

    in? How many colleges have their students make 5-6 presentations every three months, and

    the fact that these are adjudicated by the best legal brains in the country, it entails for not just

    the best possible research but also forces them to push the envelope. And when the earnings

    for the same happen to be in dollars, who wouldnt want do it?

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    32/56

    In a National Law School, a law students develops a personality where he not just follows up

    whatever is given to him, in his zest for learning the rules governing the country, but also

    digs deep into all possibilities of a given situation, for example when a Union Budget is

    passed by the Parliament, he wont just go through it and feel okay about how the funds were

    allocated, rather he will form an opinion, a critical one at times and would not be afraid to air

    it, by sharing the same with some of the best Publishers, Web portals. Given the high

    knowledge content and the out of the box thinking pattern reflected in the article, the result is

    often that it gets published in the National journals needless to say there are obvious

    incentives attached to such articles.

    Research in a law school is not just confined to a specific field; today an average law student

    has to conduct studies and examine issues on diverse fields ranging from Intellectual Property

    Rights, Environment Law, Space Law, to International Arbitration.

    Academics, Pursuing teaching as career option comes good to those who have a desire and a

    passion for it, National law School Alumnus form the part of countries best faculties

    throughout the Top National Law Schools of the country.

    Media and Law

    If you're curious and good at communicating, this one's could be you. Working as a journalist

    is not only socially relevant (which means you can have tremendous job satisfaction), but

    also carries the promise of being monetarily rewarding.

    A legal education already equips you with comprehensive writing and researching skills,

    besides teaching you to be thorough with facts and figures. You have the option of reporting

    on legal issues for which you need no additional training, or on a host of other issues for

    which on the job learning is the best bet. The most attractive aspect about a career in

    journalism is that a liberal arts education is more than sufficient for this profession.

    The skills one picks up at law school are more than sufficient for a journalist-what's more it's

    on the job learning that matters more. Indeed, employers do regularly conduct workshops for

    the rookies. As long as you're interested in an occupation that's socially relevant, and willing

    to pursue a career that is not strictly connected to the law, this is certainly a very exciting

    avenue to explore. As far as job satisfaction goes, if one speaks to lawyers who have taken up

    journalism, they say this is something that makes you feel alive, and the very fact that you're

  • 8/3/2019 Summer Internship Project on LST Final by Shreya Patel

    33/56

    doing a service to society is something which holds tremendous satisfaction. Whether or not

    you mind detaching yourself from the law remains an individual choice. What is clear though

    is that journalism offers both challenges and rewards, and is an intellectually stimulating

    experience.

    This article is specifically intended to be read by those career aspirants who wish

    complete their senior secondary education in school. The emerging Indian urban middle

    class has engaged into this decade old fire fighting race of pushing their wards towards B

    Tech colleges or towards medical courses. Just because thousands of private colleges

    have sprawled up along the highways offering engineering courses, it becomes easy for

    Students preference for the coaching institute is different as per the different students. As

    per the above data 34 students give first rank to the experience faculty, and 6 students

    gave 2nd rank to it. While brand name of the institute also plays a major role while

    students are selecting their coaching institute, 6 of the students gave 1 st rank to the brand

    of the institute.

    49/56

    Results of the past students are also the important factors for the students and so 23

    students give 2nd rank to it followed by the courseware selected by 20 students.

    Well, 14 students gave 5th rank to the fees structure and 26 students gave 5th rank to the

    reference of the past students. This analysis gives the idea about the students preference,

    which helps the institute to build a strategy for development of the LST program.

    Findings

    Today, education industry growing rapidly, there are many institutions and

    courses develop remarkably for the students. Today many new courses are

    provided by the different institutions like government as well as private

    institutions.

    Most of the students prefer traditional courses either by force of the parents or

    may due to lack knowledge of the other better career options available by the

    government and private institutions.

    Most of the students are not aware about the CLAT and they dont have any

    idea about the 5 year integrated course provide by the National Law

    University

    Those students are aware about the CLAT; among those students many of the

    students are aware about the LST program.

    51

    Recommendation

    SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATION:

    Law awareness among the students is very less, and so makes them aware about

    the law and also let them know about how to make a successful career in law.

    LST program makes students ready for law entrance exam, so when students

    come to know about the CLAT and about another option after 12th they will take

    interest in doing so.

    English medium students are taking much more interest in doing law and from therespondent some of them are also know about the CLAT and some also aware

    about the LST also. Whole talking about the Gujarati medium students they have

    less knowledge about the law entrance test and so company should segment the

    area for the making of the strategy.

    Company should more focus on their target area. Sometime it happens that

    students are aware about the law entrance test but they are not having proper

    guidance. So more and more focus on conducting the seminar in the school and

    make poster everywhere so they can get solution about their problem.

    Students from commerce background and from the English medium school are

    giving more response so company should more focus on that area.

    CONCLUSION

    Base on survey results some of the key finding has been identified and that has been

    justified. Base on survey result it was interpreted on pie charts and tabulated forms. Andthen some of the key criteria have been identified.

    Majority of the respondents are from any field are not aware of the 5 year legal program.

    Only few of the students who are from legal background are aware of the 5 year

    integrated law course.

    Many of the respondent coming from science background are interested in medical,

    pharmacy and from commerce background are interested in CA and MBA. But from

    commerce background students are also interested in law but they have no idea about 5

    year degree course offered by national law university.

    Since medium of school is also makes more importance because from the survey also

    observed that English medium students are more aware about the law entrance test, and

    also they give positive response about the Law.

    From the study of awareness about law, results shows that students who are really

    interested in law and they are aware about the law entrance test are aware about the LST.

    The study shows that those students are aware about the CLAT are from commerce

    background and are aware about the LST.

    Students preference about the career is more important. Students and parents arefollowing one another at the time of choosing a career option. Mostly parents take

    decision about their childs career. They suggest their child to select a best career for

    them.

    The most important point is making them aware about the entire field, and about all the

    pros and cons of the each field and let them to think about their interest in particular field.

    Students and parents are giving more response to direct communication. Direct contacts

    to the students by arranging seminars in the school are making them aware about the law

    and about its wide career scope.
