Hi Guys, I am a 4th year law student, interested in corporate law. Someone suggested me to get a grip on the Companies Act before college ends. Can you guys please tell some important topics of the act from the job and interview POV?

Thanks Guys.

Read up imp provision s- buy-back , private placement, MOA, AOA, debentures and swaps, ESOP,comapnies rules etc. Also keep studying FEMA side-by-side for a good grip on CBT and FDI.

Thank You !!
