In order to produce new-age lawyers

advanced legal education to the youth

modern law professionals.
G l o b a l i z a t i o n a n d c h a n g i n g
dimensions of the Indian economy,
society and polity have thrown up new
challenges in law enforcement. With
crime rates shooting up high, civil
justice and cyber security systems are
under severe stress. Legal education
can thus develop the human
resources and idealism needed to
strengthen the legal system.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
For ensuring quality legal education in
India, a standard minimum curriculum
is prescribed to be taught in an
institution to be eligible for the grant of
a law degree. Periodic supervision of
law institutions is also done to evaluate
their teaching methodology and
curriculum so as to ensure that the
required standards of legal education
are being met with.
The doors of Supreme courts were
barred to Indian practitioners in
1840’s. It was not before 1920s that
quality legal education became easily
accessible in India. Ever since, legal
education has been traditionally
offered as a three year graduate
degree, after successful completion of
which, the LL.B (Bachelor of law) or
B.L (Bachelor of Law) degree is
conferred upon.
However, the structure was revised in
1987 to meet the demand of changing
times. An experiment was instituted
upon, in terms of establishing
specialized law universities. These
universities were solely devoted to
raise the academic standards of legal
education and thus the legal
profession in India.

CLASSES
MOOT COURT
HALL
(B.B.A. LL.B. 5-years integrated programme)
The sweeping changes in the global economic scenario have necessitated a strong demand for a breed of professionals with the potential knowledge of law
coupled with core essentials of management and business to enhance productivity. Our integrated Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Laws
degree programme caters to this demand.
In this programme, students will be exposed to subjects of Law as well as Business Administration along with additional practical exposure. However, during most
of the semesters, internship would be offered to the students at various law firms, NGOs, etc.
The corporate sector witnesses a number
of legal matters that require expert legal
representatives. The B.B.A. L.L.B. degree
offers its graduates the opportunity to
study the subjects of management along
with law. The purpose of this course is to
train individuals who are not only well-
versed with management but also know
Corporate Laws and Regulatory Affairs. An
individual gets exposed to the corporate
world along with the legal sector.
PROGRAMME PROSPECTS
A professional in law can be a solicitor,
barrister, and magistrate. But apart from
legal practice, our program will also open
the doors for alternative career paths
including public service, business, and
NGOs. One can practice as an in-house
lawyer for government or business firms as
well. The B.B.A. LL.B. degree develops
business administration knowledge and
advocacy skills that can be applied to
almost any profession.
International languages such as French
and English (BULATS by University of
Cambridge) will be additionally taught to
the students to prepare to become global
law professionals. Additionally, basic
accounting and computer skills will be
taught to further assist their proficiency as
modern law graduates.
The law school has a dedicated Moot
Court Hall specially designed like a
courtroom for conducting competitions
and debates. It would aid students in
perfecting their legal, analytical, research
and writing skills like that of elite attorneys.
Several mooting competitions are
conducted throughout the programme to
enhance the confidence of Students in
