​A weak case: Law has never been a hotter career, but education standards are slipping in the field

Hindustan Times  

Two months have passed since Mihir Dere, 21, got his law common entrance test results — and he still doesn’t know which law colleges he is eligible to apply to. “Law is one of the hottest careers at the moment, and application data shows that the demand for law programmes is increasing in Mumbai,” says Kishu Daswani, professor at Government Law College, Churchgate. “Laws on sexual harassment do not feature in the syllabus,” says Nilima Chandiramani, principal at Nari Gursahani Law College, Ulhasnagar and former dean of law at the University of Mumbai. This year, students who have scored zero in the CET will also appear on the merit list — there is no quality check in place yet,” says Daswani of Government Law College. “To fill the gap between what is taught and what industry demands, students should consider additional courses such as a short-term cyber law course online,” says advocate Shah.
