Foundation course on Indian Evidence Act, 1872

'Evidence' is derived from the Latin term ‘Evidere’ which means ‘to show clearly, to make plainly certain, to ascertain, to prove’. It includes all legal means, exclusive of mere arguments, which tend to prove or disprove any matter of fact, the truth of which is submitted to judicial investigation. The Indian Evidence Act, 1872 deals with admissibility of evidence in India. It enumerates which facts are relevant in the court of law, and how to prove such facts.

The Foundation course on the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 aims to provide an overview of the provisions of the Act, by means of video lectures.

According to the law firm and our policy, the course fees will not be refunded.

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 a Project Assignment, which would test the analytical understanding of the topics covered in the video lectures. 

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 Assignment.
