Diploma in understanding the basics of Contract Law and Drafting

A contract is essentially an agreement that gives rise to obligations which are enforced or recognized by law. The general law of contract is based on the conception, which the parties have, by an agreement, created legal rights and obligations, which are purely personal in their nature and are only enforceable by action against the party in default. The law of contracts’ development can be seen as spanning several centuries, evolving constantly to keep pace with the economic, political and technological changes that have occurred over the course of time. Contracts are an essential part of the standard busines procedure. Therefore, it is imperative to know the laws governing it and the techniques of contract drafting.

The Diploma in understanding the basics of Contract Law and Drafting aims to highlight the essential ingredients of a contract and the key provisions governing contract formation in India, by means of video lectures by Mr. Rodney D Ryder, Managing Partner, Scriboard Advocates and Legal Consultants and Mr. Karthik Brahmandaberi, Brahmandaberi Group, in association with Enhelion.

In every walk of life, the process of evaluation takes place in one form or the other. If the evaluation process is eliminated from human life then perhaps the aim of life may be lost. Being in the same line, Enhelion is committed to evaluate the process of learning through its courses.

The enrollee will be evaluated based on two Project Assignments, which would test the analytical understanding of the topics covered in the video lecture.

The most intriguing aspect of the evaluation process is the time flexibility it affords. You can choose to undergo the evaluation process as and when you are ready for the same.

To be eligible to receive a certificate after successful completion of the course, one is required to secure an overall minimum of 40 percent in the Project Assignments.
