Can I do llb while working in private sector?
04-Jul-2024 (In Criminal Law)
Yes, it is possible to pursue an LLB (Bachelor of Laws) while working in the private sector, but there are important considerations. The Bar Council of India (BCI) does not recognize part-time LLB degrees for the purpose of practicing law. So, if your goal is to become a practicing lawyer, you must enroll in a full-time LLB program.
That said, some law colleges offer evening or weekend classes designed for working professionals, which can help balance your job and studies. Careful planning and time management are essential to successfully manage both commitments.
If you obtained an LLB degree from a government university in India while working a private company job without obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your employer, you may be in violation of the terms of your employment contract.
Many private companies in India require their employees to obtain a NOC before pursuing higher education or additional qualifications while still working with the company. This is done to ensure that the employee's education does not interfere with their work and to prevent conflicts of interest.
If you did not obtain a NOC from your employer and pursued your LLB degree while working, your employer may take action against you for violating the terms of your employment contract. This could include disciplinary action, termination of your employment, or legal action.
It is important to note that each employer may have different policies and procedures regarding pursuing higher education while working, so it is best to check with your employer before pursuing any further education or qualifications while still employed with them.
Under the RTI Act, you have the right to access information held by public authorities, including government universities and public sector companies. Private companies are not subject to the RTI Act, but you may be able to obtain some information from them through other means.
