Rationale
A good competition law, along with a sound competition policy, helps in fostering competition, economic efficiency, consumer welfare and freedom of doing business. India enacted its Competition Act in 2002 (amended in 2007, referred to here as CA02) to deal with competition issues in a more liberalized market economy. This law is a successor to the Monopolies & Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969. The Competition Commission of India (CCI), set up under the CA02, is fully operational now. The enforcement of competition law and its pervasive presence across the sectors and business functions is creating a high demand for competition professionals. Thus, the courses, specially designed to inculcate necessary knowledge and skills, among the participants to deal with the issues relating to anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominance & regulation of combinations (M&As), IPRs etc, would greatly enhance the career opportunities and provide early-mover advantage to the participants There is an urgent need to fill the gap between the current knowledge and the knowledge required while the CA02 is implemented. The Courses offered by the CUTS Institute for Regulation & Competition (CIRC) and National Law University(NLU), Delhi aim to fill this gap.
