Reinventing Legal Education

The Institute of Law has an unmatched array of courses and academic offerings. Students have an opportunity to pursue a broad curriculum using rich educational resources in a dynamic and creative learning environment of Justice Education. The curriculum is constantly revised according to the changing scholarly and professional developments. All our initiatives are living proof of our commitment to every student’s success in their career. Our graduates are individuals who have been exposed to state-of-the-art technologies, eminent personalities, and excellence in the academic and non-academic sphere and blended learning pedagogy which results in critical thinking and high employability.

The Institute nurtures inquisitive minds and sharpens their visions. Our students are exposed to robustly designed pedagogy on Justice Education which is a perfect blend of Law, Commerce, Humanities, and Social Sciences. A wide range of elective courses offered at the Institute helps students focus more on their specific interests. Focus on interdisciplinary research and training in research methodology, writing, and presentation encourage the students to expand the horizons of their knowledge and be alert to the newer developments in their field. During the five years that students spend on campus, they are nourished by critical learning pedagogy, mentored, and supported by faculty and staff so that they have the best experience possible to be successful in life.

The Institute of Law emphasises globalised exposure. We facilitate an international learning experience for the students through seminars, lectures, and conferences in which renowned academicians from around the world come to the Institute for sessions. We have a semester-long international teaching month and a student exchange programme with different universities across the globe.
