Feedbacks from our Summer Training Program Learners
Vignesh Thumuluri, 4th year, Damodaram Sanjivayya National Law University, Visakhapatnam (Corporate Vertical)
My overall experience of the Lawctopus Summer Training Program, was truly outstanding. The course was meticulously designed, offering a perfect blend of theoretical knowledge and practical insights. Each module was engaging and packed with valuable information that significantly deepened my understanding of corporate law. The assignments were challenging yet rewarding, and the instructors were knowledgeable and incredibly supportive. This program not only expanded my legal expertise but also ignited a greater passion for corporate law.
Tishaa Nag, 1st year, KIIT School of Law (Litigation Vertical)
My experience during this one month course was actually very insightful a I got to learn a lot of things. Given I am still at my beginning stages of as a law student so I was not exactly that well prepared in comparison to my peers, however this course has helped me in shaping myself for my future endeavors for the next 4 years by providing me a better idea and view of the law field.
Sanjukta Baral, 5th year, NERIM (Corporate Vertical)
I enjoyed learning and came to know about so many things that our college has never taught us, I have drafted a Sale Deed Agreement for the first time, written research papers, and drafted an MOA, Mergers & Acquisition. Every Saturday we had networking sessions on how to get an internship or Job, and how to make a CV. I would like to thank Tanuj Kalia sir, Mansi ma’am, Akansha ma’am, and other mentors who have taught us and guided us in every possible way.
Manraj Singh Chandpuri, Class 12 Graduate (Budding Lawyers Vertical)
The entire course was structured extremely well. Guidance of mentors and teachers such as Maansi Ma’am, Jaibatruka Sir and Aditya sir, really helped everyone in the course inorder to expand their wings with respect to entering into the Legal Community. I would recommend this course to everyone, as it really offers a lot. Kudos to Lawctopus for making such an amazing & professional course available at such a minimal cost, the cost was much more valuable.
Alfia Sarwar Ali, 4th year, Aligarh Muslim University (Budding Lawyers Vertical)
The course was very well structured and organized which made it easy for me, as a learner, to get the most out of. The various instructors were excellent in their respective courses and made sure that there were no questions left unanswered which really helped me. It was an amazing experience overall.
Ajay Singh, 4th year, SRM University (Litigation Vertical)
The summer training program was a well-planned and carried out course. It had all of the intricacies essential for litigation. It gave a one-stop solution in the future for understanding the practical aspects, whether civil or criminal.
