Academic Background
Graduate in any discipline. A science or technical background is preferred if you’re targeting the patent track.
No Hostel & No Scholarship
This is a day program with zero on-campus accommodation and no sanctioned scholarships. If you’re moving from out of town, factor in South Delhi rent and metro logistics from day one.
The verdict
Good fit
If you want to break into India’s IP ecosystem or pivot from a science/tech background into patent law, this diploma is a rare combo of elite brand (NIRF #2), niche curriculum, and pocket-friendly fees. Just be ready to hustle for housing and externships—there’s no hostel safety net.
