H. Babra ICLS Law Student 2007ICLS Writing Workshop Equips Students
"I just wanted to say Thank You to you and your team for executing such a productive weekend. The get together on Friday allowed me to disperse all my concerns regarding the programme. I also had an opportunity to meet fellow class mates and Mr. Bajaj was very insightful. Saturday was very intensive and by the end of the writing session I felt confident in myself, as I learned the techniques only ICLS could have taught. I now know what the examiners are looking for and most of all I understand how to organize the vast information I have per subject. You were organized, enthusiastic and addressed relevant issues. I am looking forward to the March Seminar. Thank you once again."
