Abstract

Maritime law as a career option attracts several students to pursue higher education. However, despite a few Indian institutions offering postgraduate programmes in Maritime Law, students prefer to go abroad and study at well-established centres of maritime legal education. This article throws light upon such a trend and discusses the possibility of retaining the brightest Indian students and attracting students from abroad to study in India. For that purpose, it identifies the reasons for discontinuing maritime courses at various universities and the lessons to be learned from the experiences. Finally, based on a critical analysis of the current system, the article provides some suggestions to enhance the quality of maritime legal education in India.
