Diploma in Insolvency and Bankruptcy: Law, Practice and Regulations (DIB) 2026-27 at NLU Delhi (Online)

The Centre for Transnational Commercial Law (CTCL) at National Law University Delhi invites applications for its flagship Diploma in Insolvency and Bankruptcy: Law, Practice and Regulations (DIB) for the 2026-2027 session, along with a set of associated Certificate Courses.

CTCL is the University's flagship research centre dedicated to commercial law, and engages in advisory and policy work with institutions including the IBBI and CII.
