NLU (National Law University) JODHPUR -    UNIVERSITY PROFILE

The National Law University, established by National Law University Jodhpur, Act, 1999 (Act No. 22 of 1999), passed by the State of Rajasthan, is the fifth National University for Legal Education in the country following the institutions at Bangalore, Hyderabad, Bhopal and Calcutta. Keeping in mind the urgent need of multidisciplinary legal knowledge and application of the law in the context this University has designed multidisciplinary undergraduate programs. The Bar Council of India has already indicated in their standard syllabus practice that undergraduate law program must contain seven courses on social sciences, eleven compulsory legal subjects, four clinical courses, and at least five optional courses. Every student of all streams has to study these twenty-seven courses. It may be noted that NLU is one of the few law colleges in India which offers this varied combination of subjects. There shall be three streams of study, namely, Arts, Science and Management Studies, which shall be integrated with legal courses leading respectively to the award of B.A., LL.B., (Hons.), B.Sc., LL.B., (Hons.) and B.B.A., LL.B., (Hons.) over a period of five years. There shall be no conferment of intermediate degrees. The University takes these subjects as the base and designs courses suitable for three streams as at present. Students preferring arts stream have to take additional nine courses in social sciences. Students preferring science stream shall take nine science courses and students preferring management studies shall take nine courses on management sciences. This will determine the first component of the integrated degree B.A. or B.Sc. or B.B.A. In five years divided in ten semesters, students have to undergo a serious study and research on 65 courses to take either B.A., LL.B. (Hons.); B.Sc. LL.B. (Hons.) or B.B.A., LL.B. (Hons), as the case may be.
