Education and Career Forum

Dear sir, I am currently in my final year of MSc Biotech. I want to pursue a PG diploma course in Intellectual property rights from NALSAR or NLSIU. I would like to know the career prospects & job opportunities after finishing PG diploma in the same. Is it beneficial to do a course in intellectual property rights? Also, NALSAR & NLSIU both offer only distance education for this course. Is it ok if I take up a distance education course rather than choosing an institution that would provide classroom teaching? Please reply asap. Thank you.

There is no problem in doing a correspondence course. It will not impact your career prospects. PG diploma in Intellectual property rights is a good option. Both the institutes well reputed for this course.

i have done b.tech biotechnology and i am very much interested in going for a career in intellectual property rights.will it be a good option?

It's certainly right decision and also the right time. IP is becoming a booming industry in India now and more Patent Analyst/Engineer are required. But before entering into this field, you should do little research on Intellectual Property Courses & reputed IP institutes. Post Graduate Diploma in IPR would be best option for you..

Thanks
