| Program Description |
The 5-year integrated B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) degree is on offer for persons who have successfully completed 12 years of school education. To obtain the degree, students are required to accumulate 200 credits from a mix of mandatory and elective courses. Foundational courses in History, Political Science, Economics, Sociology and English have to be completed to fulfil the BA part of the degree. In addition, students are required to earn nine credits by choosing from a vibrant list of social science seminars offered by home and visiting faculty. All those law courses that the Bar Council of India (BCI) requires to be compulsorily pursued have been designated as mandatory. In addition, the University has designated Law and Poverty and Law of Intellectual Property as mandatory courses.
If the compulsory component of the program is driven by what the regulator or the university consider every student must learn; the elective part of the degree is totally informed by student choice. Students can create their own study regimen by choosing from a diverse bouquet of elective, seminar and clinic courses, which are offered by home and visiting faculty. Whilst the elective courses are largely driven by the subject expertise of the faculty, the seminar courses adopt participative methodologies and the clinical courses allow for more hands on learning.
Since its inception in 2012, the university has proactively pursued policies which strengthen the choice element of the choice based elective system. To that end the university has not restricted its scholastic invitations to mainstream academics but drawn from all sources of learning across disciplines and sectors. Thus, along with courses on Regulatory Governance or Comparative Constitutional Law or Justice in the Anthropocene; courses on Learning by Performance, Documentary as Evidence and Toolbox for Maximum lawyering have also been offered.
In order to ensure that student choice is not controlled by the schedule or traditional clustering, the University provides a comprehensive list of courses on offer in a semester and seeks their preferred combination before finalizing the schedule. This preliminary survey allows the final schedule to be informed by student preference and permits unusual combinations to be created. Whilst a prescription exists on the minimum number of credits, there is no upper limit. Provided there are no time clashes, students can pursue as many additional courses as they wish free of any additional fee. The system of additional credits allows each student to be evaluated on their strengths as the CGPA is calculated on the best 200 credits. The best of system operates at every stage of the degree.
Every mandatory course requires each student to undertake a certain percentage of research and writing through different kinds of assignments, which are to be submitted in a staggered manner through the semester. The assignments have been created to enable every kind of intelligence to flourish. A project bidding system allows students to choose the kind of research project they wish to undertake for each course.
