WHY IICA & NALSAR

The Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs is a premiere institute established by Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). It primarily works on various issues relating to the Corporate Affairs including Companies Act, Insolvency and Bankruptcy Laws and Procedures, Business and Financial Laws, Valuation, ESG, MSMEs, Corporate Governance and Independent Directors. The Institute is involved in capacity building and offering the courses in Online and Offline mode since introduction of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code. It works closely with IBBI and MCA in relation to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy. It is the first institute allowed by IBBI to offer the prestigious Graduate Insolvency Programme (2 year course) and the Institute has successfully completed 4 batches of the GIP course and th moving towards offering the 5 batch of the course from June 2023. The Institute has achieved 100 percent placements to GIP students and leading the Insolvency field at forefront for sensitizing the private and public sectors since 2017. Its role in hosting orientation programmes for newly appointed Hon’ble Members of NCLT also helps IICA in gaining legal perspectives on the subject. Taking these initiatives forward, the IICA is one of the most ideally placed institution to collaborate with the one of the leading and best National Law Schools in the country i.e. NALSAR University of Law for a LL.M course in Insolvency and Bankruptcy Laws.

THE LL.M PROGRAMME

The L.L.M course offered by the National Academy of legal studies and Research (NALSAR  University) and Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) is first of its kind L.L.M Degree Programme in Insolvency and Bankruptcy Laws and procedure Law in India. India has a huge, emerging sector for helping distressed and bankrupt companies comes out of financial difficulty. But it faces a huge shortage of bankruptcy professionals who can oversee the process. As of 2023, the country had nearly 3000 insolvency professionals; however, the number of Insolvency Professional and Insolvency Associates are very less, considering the number of filing taking palace every day at NCLT. On average, one Insolvency Professional needs at least 20 associates to assist in big-ticket CIRP and Liquidation cases. Therefore, there is a serious need to produce good insolvency associates and eco systems at mass level for providing support to IPs, IPEs, Consultancies, law firms, ARCs and Academia. Therefore, the Master-level course / orientation in Insolvency and Bankruptcy law is need of the hour. There is a vacuum in this area in the legal education system in the country and this course seeks to fill up this vacuum.
