3. Don’t bunk any orientation or hearings.

4. Build Network. Lot of professionals serving in Commission who can give you enormous insights about various intricacies of Competition Law.

5. Don’t be casual about project report, its not an one day affair.

My personal experience

The more knowledge you seek, the more you are bestowed upon.

Be sincere and put full efforts and you shall come out as a wiser person, and definitely more knowledgeable about Competition Law.

CCI is at walkable distance from Barakhamba Metro Station. Proximity to CP gives lot of hangout options.
