Greetings!

Investment basically refers to the process of utilizing the current resources in a manner by which potential for value appreciation is attempted by an investor. Deriving income, preservation of capital, capital appreciation, liquidity, safeguarding assets financial flexibility, etc. are the factors that induce investment apart from the tax benefits that comes incidentally. Securities refer to financial representation of ownership in a stock or publicly traded Corporation reflecting the related property rights, which can be sold, purchased or exchanged under various financial transactions. Though investing and securitizing financial interests are not a new concept to our economy, it has gained new impetus with the advent of globalization. To achieve a clarity over the changing faces of the market, a number of laws governing

investment and securities transactions are enacted and different controlling authorities have been established.

The importance of imparting knowledge of these laws and regulatory framework to create trained professionals in this area is the need of the hour. Unfortunately, there have been no serious attempts made by Universities and other educational institutions to develop a course curriculum in the field of Investment and Securities Laws. The Maharashtra National Law University (MNLU), Mumbai, one of the premier institutions of excellence in legal education in India and the National Institute of Securities Markets (NISM), one of the premier institutions of professional development and training patronage by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), have joined hands to take up the historic responsibility and the result is this unique LL.M. program in Investment and Securities Laws.

The first batch of our students will be completing the course soon and I am happy to say that the program got overwhelming response in the first year itself, despite the pandemic. This course has several special features like the collaboration of two premier institutions, location advantage of being in the financial capital, the enormous job opportunities in the ever-expanding profession, etc. While wishing all success to the students, I invite recruiters to take benefit of these advantages and help unfold their potential.

The LL.M. program in Investments and Securities Laws is an advanced program of legal study that is customized to the needs of the individual student and working legal professionals. Having committed to providing the highest quality of education in the field of securities markets, NISM has entered into a collaboration with India’s premier Law University, Maharashtra National Law University (MNLU), Mumbai for offering this program in Investment and Securities Laws. This specialized LL.M. program, designed primarily for the law students intending to work in the financial markets, offers full-time, intensive academic training in the legal regulation of securities and investments in India.

In line with NISM’s mission for academic excellence, the course offers a depth of background in a broad array of topics arising out of corporate law and securities regulation including the regulation of issuance of securities, secondary trading of securities, market regulation, enforcement issues, corporate finance, investment by a person resident outside India, investment advisers, derivatives, regulation of banking and financial institutions, competition law and insolvency laws. This course offers an introduction to the three most important securities laws: the Securities Contract (Regula-tion) Act of 1956, the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act of 1992 and the Depositories Act of 1996. The LL.M. in Investment and Securities Laws also explores the scope of more than 36 regula-tions framed by SEBI and its impact on structured growth of securities markets in India. The course also focuses on learning the tools in the deals and documents related to the securities market trans-actions, which would be helping in understanding the nature of disputes that arise in a financial market.

The students undergo classes with a joint team of expert faculties from NISM and MNLU. The course engages some of the nation’s leading advocates in the field of corporate law and securities laws, as well as officers from regulators, whose work is oriented more towards practice and the profession as a visiting faculty. The course also offers practical smart lab training to the students to make them aware of the various processes and use of the technology in the securities markets.

The ability to conduct legal research, regardless of area and type of practice, is essential for a good lawyer. A good research is intertwined with identifying, understanding, analysing and implementing the principles underlying the legislation. Following are some of the research papers published by the students of NISM in the past:

Today, throughout India, companies hire students with business skills rather than students with textual expertise only. Young Indians are given the opportunity to demonstrate their entrepreneurial skills because of the widespread need for an entrepreneurial generation in India, this idea is strongly supported and promoted by the Government of India who calls this generation the age of innovators. The E-Cell of the National Institute of Securities Markets is at the forefront of this business translation.

The NISM’s E-Cell is a student organization that aims to incubate the pioneering spirit of students who are destined to be the business leaders of tomorrow. The E-Cell focuses on helping students advance their entrepreneurial outlook by empowering students with valuable tools, such as providing them a platform to grow their business ideas while also broadening their perspectives through a variety of workshops, industry interactions, student activities that lead to a well-rounded entrepreneur with a risk appetite and awareness that is on par with business players across the globe.

Our mission is to create an environment that would illuminate ideas about entrepreneurship development and creative deduction, cultivate a business culture and reach out to a wider audience in both the academic community and the industry for the incubation of business ideas.

candidates would become eligible for the final offers if there are competing offers in parallel recruitment processes.

Recruiters are encouraged to notify the TPC of their desired dates for such talks at least a week in advance, either by e-mail or telephone contact.

Recruitment DayRecruiters are free to follow their own hiring procedures, which typically include group discussions, written assessments, and informal interviews.
