Q & A
Seeking a career in a bank
I recently read a query that you had answered about Law programmes. I have about nine years’ experience in the field of HR. After I read your answer, I thought I should pursue LL.B. by correspondence. Can I consider the programmes on offer at Annamalai University?

Annamalai University ( www.annamalaiuniversity.ac.in) has set benchmarks in the field of Distance Learning. The Directorate of Distance Education (DDE) of the University conducts Law programmes that are recognised by the corporate world.
The University conducts the following programmes:
LL.M. (three-year programme)
BAL (Bachelor of Academic Laws) (three years)
BBL (Bachelor of Business Law) (three years)
BGL (Bachelor of General Laws) (two years)
The University also offers Diploma and Post-Graduate Diploma programmes in various areas of Law, viz., Administrative, Taxation, Criminology and Forensic Science.

You can also contact the study centre located at 547/1, R.V. Road (near Vijaya College), Bangalore-560 004 (Ph: 26564926).
LL.B. is not offered as a Distance Learning programme in Annamalai University. It is a three-year regular programme as per the norms and statutes of the Bar Council of India. Hence, you should pursue any of the above-mentioned Bachelor programmes under the Distance Learning Programme (DLP).

The candidate must possess the required educational qualification as on the date of application.

Private sector banks also have been recruiting in a number of ways. The qualifications of B.Com and MBA in Finance, Banking, Marketing, and Actuarial Science will surely help. The qualifications of CA and ICWA will also help the learner prepare for the higher echelons of banking administration both in the nationalised and private sector banks. Hence, plan appropriately.

Environmental Science is the study of the interaction among the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment, with a focus on pollution and degradation of the environment related to human activities, and the impact on biodiversity and sustainability because of local and global developments.
It is an interdisciplinary field that draws upon not only its core scientific areas, but also from non-scientific studies such as economics, law and social sciences.
I completed Diploma in Civil Engineering in 1987. I am working in a private construction company in Bangalore. After some years the company stopped giving me promotions, on the grounds that I do not possess a graduation. Please suggest a course that will help me to achieve not only a qualification, but also get information and thereby satisfy the requirements of the company where I work in.
