Continuous UPSKILLING THE ROAD FROM LLM TO CS

A SECOND INNING, NO MATTER WHAT THE FIELD IS, ALWAYS THROWS DIFFERENT CHALLENGES. SOME EASY AND SOME DIFFICULT FROM THE FIRST INNING. IT TEACHES YOU PATIENCE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING IT COUNT THIS TIME.

After two years of work experience, as a law graduate from the DU 2004 batch, I realized that the LLB course was getting popular rapidly. Lawyers’ spouses, clerks, unsuccessful students of CA & CS were all pursuing it. The regular post-graduation 3-year course, suddenly sounded easy to pursue and complete as there was an abundance of colleges affiliated to various universities offering LLB.

Soon I realized that one needed a relevant professional degree to differentiate oneself from the crowd.

Once an unsuccessful aspirant of CA and CS, I always found these courses challenging. Since I couldn’t clear these, the CA and CS professionals fascinated me all this while. I continued to believe that they really achieved a big feat by qualifying for CA or CS and deep within I wanted to have that feeling.

I believe my fondness for the professional courses once again nudged me to start a second inning in academics. I registered myself for CS in 2013 when everything I needed to clear the course was available with me and nothing could be blamed on scarcity of resources like in college days when spending on tuitions was a luxury.
