Walking alongside Medics and Engg. Students

[size=4]HRD ministry is thinking of introducing a joint course of Engineering, Law and Medicals. The following degrees are to be included -

B. Tech LLB, and

MBBS B.Tech

This provision aims to create professional who are not only knowledgeable about their career paths but also the relevant fields.

This new idea is an absolutely fresh idea out of the ministry’s sleeves.

With the likes of Stanford Law School providing Electrical Engineering with a Law Degree, this will create a new revolution in the higher education system of India.

WHAT are your opinions over this?

Will this create tougher competition for specifically Law Aspirants?

So, this integrated course will be of ho many years?? Any idea???? I guess MBBS LLB will not be less than a course of 7 and half years and BTech LLB might be of 6 years… Though BTech LLb seems quite feasible but I doubt about MBBS LLB, two tough course would be really hard to cope with…

That is what I am thinking about Legally Fresh…

I do not have the actual data of the time period of these courses.

Because there has been no actual decision as such yet.

The HRD ministry is just thinking about it

Anyway, in what way is MBBS and LLB connected? Although, Btech,LLB sounds sensible since NLU-J already offers BSc(Tech),LLB.

I second the concern of legally fresh about the duration of the course and the also the relativity of course like MBBS LLB…

@srini

MBBS and LLB are connected.i know a guy who is doing research in AIIMS,he said whenever he does research in the morgue,there are legal guys who are ready with several legal obligations.so these guys have to have some knowledge of biology u know.

Remembered one joke cracked on me by my friend who is from a non-legal background… the idea is not so good for the clients… the joke was like… that the lawyer will only rob you but the doctor will not only rob but kills aswell… it would be a deadly cocktail i guess… lols… wat do u people says..

While in law school, we had a seminar course on “Medicine and the Law.”I’m not sure if it is still offered as an elective in law schools. Just to let you know, medical negligence is a very fertile area of practice, at least in the U.S. Personally, I have done extensive work for a lawyer who specializes in medical negligence cases where the injury is to the spinal cord and the left hemisphere of the brain!!

I have heard about it, and it seems pretty successful too..

I am just thinking about the news in various lights, judging the relative pros and cons.

*sigh*

All this drama even before i JOIN a law school!
