About the University:

NALSAR University of Law was established by Act 34 of 1998 with the objective of
imparting comprehensive legal education while promoting cultural, legal and ethical
values so as to foster the Rule of Law. The University is committed to ensure highest
quality in imparting legal education and undertaking research on contemporary areas
in order to produce socially relevant lawyers. University also has the mandate to
promote legal awareness in the community for achieving social and economic justice
and to improve the ability of the public to objectively analyse contemporary issues of
collective concern, specifically by assessing their legal implications.

Shri Rabindranath Tagore had spoken of a realm where “the mind has not been
broken into fragments by narrow domestic walls”. Work and life coalesce in the
50-acre campus situated near Shameerpet, which is 20 kms away from the city.
University has a well-equipped Library which also provides remote access to a large
range of electronic resources, a state-of-the-art Internet Centre, Moot Court Hall,
Stadium, Football Field, Tennis Courts, a spacious Auditorium and a Health Centre,
the campus provides ample opportunities for the all-round development of students.

NALSAR is recognized under Sections 2(f) and 12B of the UGC Act, 1956. It has
been repeatedly acknowledged as one of the leading places for legal education in
the South Asian region, with its academic standards being comparable to the best
institutions of legal education in the world. In recognition of the same, the National
Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) awarded it ‘A++’ grade with a high
score of 3.52 out of 4.00 in Cycle II, which till date is the highest among the National
Law Universities (NLUs). NALSAR has also been graded as a 'Category-I University'
by the UGC under the Categorization of Universities (only) for Grant of Graded
Autonomy Regulations, 2018. It has been ranked as the third best institution for legal
education in India as per the NIRF Rankings published by the Ministry of Education,
Government of India, for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2023 respectively.

The University has evolved through an insistence on holistic ‘justice’ education which
exposes students to the different facets of legal systems and how they interact with
public policy, social institutions and markets. The academic programmes emphasize
interdisciplinary linkages that enable its faculty members, students and researchers
to both understand and critique the rationale behind legislations, executive acts and
judicial decisions while also developing the ability to propose constructive solutions
for addressing socio-economic problems. In 2012-2013, NALSAR became one of the
early adopters of a full-fledged ‘Choice Based Credit System’ (CBCS) that is
inconsonance with international norms allowing the students to design their own
customized course well within the broad framework of the programme. Among the
NLUs, NALSAR offers the broadest range of elective and seminar courses of varying
credits across its regular programmes. Since 2016-2017, The University has been
offering courses under the Global Initiative for Academic Networks (GIAN),
supported by the Government of India, by regularly inviting eminent academicians
and practitioners from other nations to teach students through shorter elective
courses.

NALSAR provides a platform for all-round development of the students and
encourages students to evolve as demonstrative leaders. The student groups are
encouraged not only to participate in various curricular and co-curricular activities but
also to organize a number of events which supplement their course work. In addition
to the elected committees that are part of the Student Bar Council (SBC), there are
several student-run groups such as the 'Public Policy Group’, ‘Lecture Series on
Constitutionalism’, ‘Nyaya Forum on Courtroom Lawyering’, 'NALSAR Legal Aid
Group', 'Savitribai Phule Intersectional Studies Circle' and the 'Technology Law
Forum' among other which are presently active.

In order to enhance the digital presence of the University, the ‘NALSAR University of
Law’ YouTube Channel has been disseminating legal knowledge to a wider
audience. It is regularly updated by uploading recordings of guest lectures as well as
sessions that are part of conferences, workshops, training programmes and some of
the visiting elective courses. As of now, there are more than 650 videos available on
this channel in the public domain and many more videos created by NALSAR are
hosted on different Learning Management Systems such as SWAYAM.

Course on Indian Constitution in Telugu (Online): NALSAR recently launched a

short-term course in Telugu on “Constitution of India”, to create awareness on the
basics of the Indian Constitution to wider public. The course is designed by NALSAR
for disseminating the Constitutional Law knowledge with Telugu as the medium of
instruction. This course focuses on providing a sound theoretical footing as well as
practical insights into the working of the Indian Constitution. In order to keep the
participants engaged, this course has many formats like walk the talk, panel
discussion, interview, case study etc. This course highlights the contributions of Bar
and Bench from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

NALSAR students also organize two Annual Moot Court Competitions (devoted to
Constitutional Law and Public International Law respectively), an annual Debating
Championship, a Quizzing Festival, a Literary Festival and a number of other inter-
institutional activities throughout the academic year. These competitions witness
participation from educational institutions located all over the country. Since its
inception, teams from NALSAR have participated in and won accolades in several
national and international moot competitions.

Our Graduates have made a mark in career paths such as litigation, judicial services,
teaching, research, social advocacy, international organizations and transactional
lawyering among other fields. Commercial Law Firms, Corporate Houses, Public
Sector Undertakings (PSUs) and Government Agencies have been regularly coming
for the campus recruitments and many of them offer lucrative salaries to our
graduates. In the long-run, it is important for us to ensure that even though our
graduates pursue different lines of work, they do so with integrity, professionalism
and a commitment to social justice.

In the past, our graduates have been awarded several prestigious scholarships to
pursue higher studies such as the Rhodes Scholarships, Gates Cambridge
Scholarship, Commonwealth Scholarships, Felix Scholarship, Leiden Gold
Scholarship, Thomas Buergenthal Scholarship, the Inlaks Scholarship and the Hirani
Foundation Scholarship. Beginning from 2012-2013, around 43 students have
Page 2 of 15
secured the Aditya Birla scholarship that is awarded to incoming students and
supports the remainder of their tertiary education.

5-Year B.A., LL.B. (Hons.):

The 5-year integrated B.A., LL.B. (Hons.) programme is on offer for persons who
have successfully completed 12 years of school education. To complete it, students
are required to accumulate 200 credits through a combination of mandatory and
optional courses. Foundational courses in History, Political Science, Economics,
Sociology and English have to be completed within the first two years of study. In
addition, students are required to earn nine credits by choosing from a vibrant list of
social science seminars offered by full-time and visiting faculty members. All the law
courses that the Bar Council of India (BCI) requires to be compulsorily pursued have
been designated as mandatory courses. In addition to these, the University has
designated 'Law and Poverty' and 'Law of Intellectual Property' as mandatory
courses.

If the compulsory component of the programme is shaped by what the regulator and
the university consider every student must learn, the optional part of the programme
is totally driven by the choices of students. Students can design their own
customised coursework by choosing among a diverse basket of elective, seminar
and clinical courses. While the elective courses are largely based on the subject
expertise of the faculty, the seminar courses adopt participatory methods and the
clinical courses allow for more hands-on learning in areas that are connected to the
demands of legal practice.

Beginning with the academic year 2012-2013, the university has proactively pursued
policies which have enhanced the flexibility in a Choice Based Credit System
(CBCS). The University has not limited its scholastic invitations to mainstream
academics but has drawn from all sources of learning across disciplines and sectors.

In order to ensure that student choice is not hindered by scheduling decisions, the
University notifies a comprehensive list of courses to students before the start of
each semester and seeks their preferred combination before finalizing the schedule.
This preliminary survey allows the final schedule to be made after accounting for
student preferences and permits unconventional combinations to be created. While
there are a minimum number of credits that needs to be accumulated, there is no
upper limit on what each student might eventually gather through five years of
undergraduate study. The possibility of accumulating additional credits allows each
student to be evaluated on their strengths as the CGPA is calculated on the best 200
credits.

Every mandatory course requires each student to undertake a certain quantum 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.

Page 3 of 15
The range and depth of the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) that is being
offered at NALSAR is categorized under 5 specialized groups. All the Elective and
Seminar Courses are broadly part of these five groups. The five groups are namely:

1) Constitution and Public Policy

2) Corporate Laws
3) International Laws
4) Law and Technology
5) Social Science

At NALSAR, Social Science Seminar Courses are offered to students in their 2 nd and

study the Law.

One year LL.M. programme:

The LL.M. programme offered at NALSAR is an intensive program that combines

taught courses and sustained research work. The University confirms to the
guidelines laid down by the University Grants Commission (UGC) while prescribing
the credit requirements for each course. Students must complete three mandatory
courses (4 credits each), six optional courses (3 credits each) and a dissertation (6
credits) as part of the one-year LL.M. programme. NALSAR LL.M. programme leans
more in favour of students who wish to pursue a career in academics, it encourages
students to explore their interests in a range of areas instead of anchoring on any
one field too soon. We believe that no one can be a specialist without being a
generalist. Since universities look for generalists rather than specialists in their fresh
recruits, a very wide range of courses are offered to widen horizons and maximize
learning.

In the same spirit of exploration and exposure, the University does not require
postgraduate students to opt for specialization at the start of the program. Instead,
they have to work towards a specialisation over the course of the academic year. A
postgraduate student has to complete at least 18 credits of coursework in their
preferred area of specialization in order to obtain the same. Subject to the availability
of teaching expertise and the university rules on the minimum number of enrolments
required for transacting a course, the University has in the past offered optional
courses which could lead to specializations in the following areas:

(i) Corporate and Commercial Laws;

(ii) Criminal Law;
(iii) Environmental Law;
(iv) Family Law;
(v) Intellectual Property Rights;
(vi) International Trade and Business Laws;
(vii) Legal Pedagogy and Research and
(viii) Public Law and Legal Theory

Applicants for the LL.M. programme are advised to opt for NALSAR if they have an
interest in pursuing careers in teaching and research. NALSAR graduates are
coveted by law schools all over the country as the university’s program of teaching
assistantship provides live teaching opportunities. Students who are planning to
appear for the civil services and judicial services examinations have also found the
program to be useful alongside their own preparatory efforts. Applicants must note
that this program has not been designed to facilitate recruitment in commercial law
firms or business houses and such opportunities are pursued by students solely by
their own efforts.

Two Year LL.M. (Insolvency and Bankruptcy Laws):

The two-year LL.M. Degree Programme in Insolvency and Bankruptcy Laws is

introduced by National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR
University) and Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) in the year 2023. The
programme is first of its kind in India. In India, there is a need of qualified
professionals who can help distressed and bankrupt companies to come out of
Page 6 of 15
financial difficulty. But it faces a huge shortage of bankruptcy professionals who can
oversee the process. The number of Insolvency Professionals and Insolvency
Associates are very less considering the number of filings taking place every day at
NCLT. Therefore, there is a serious need to produce good insolvency associates and
eco system for providing the support to IPs, IPEs, Consultancies, Law Firms, ARCs
and Academia. Therefore, the Master level course / orientation in Insolvency and
Bankruptcy Laws is the need of the hour. There is a vacuum in this area in the legal
educational system in the country and this course seeks to fill up this vacuum.

This specialized program is designed to equip students with comprehensive

knowledge and expertise in the dynamic field of insolvency and bankruptcy laws.
Through a carefully crafted curriculum, students will delve into theoretical concepts,
practical applications, and case studies relevant to the legal frameworks governing
insolvency and bankruptcy proceedings in India.

The students will study first year at NALSAR University of Law Campus in
Hyderabad and second year at IICA campus in New Delhi. Students spending their
first year here will benefit from the institution's rich history, esteemed faculty, and
comprehensive library resources. During the first year, students will lay a solid
foundation in Legal Concepts and Insolvency & Bankruptcy Laws through rigorous
coursework, seminars, guest lectures, and interactive discussions. They will engage
with complex legal concepts, case studies, and real-world scenarios under the
guidance of experienced faculty members. Additionally, students will have access to
NALSAR's extensive network of alumni, legal professionals, and industry experts,
fostering opportunities for mentorship, networking, and career development.

The second-year curriculum at IICA is designed to build upon the foundational

knowledge acquired in the first year, focusing on advanced topics, specialized
courses, and practical applications of Insolvency & Bankruptcy Laws. Students will
also have the chance to undertake research projects, internships with renowned
organizations, further enhancing their expertise and professional networks. The dual-
campus structure of the LL.M. program allows students to benefit from the distinct
academic environments, resources, and opportunities offered by both NALSAR
University of Law and IICA. The Programme fosters a holistic learning journey that
prepares students for successful careers in the field of Insolvency & Bankruptcy laws
while immersing them in the vibrant cultures and professional landscapes of
Hyderabad and New Delhi.

2 Year M.B.A. Programme:

a two-year M.B.A. (Master’s in Business Administration) programme in 2013 with the
aim of providing blended management education. The Course is approved by AICTE
and consists of four semesters across two years. The first year of the programme is
aimed at providing strong conceptual underpinnings and practical insights in various
areas of management. The second year of the programme offers specializations in
Business Laws, Corporate Governance, Finance, Human Resources, Innovation and
Sustainability, Marketing, Operations & Systems, and Business Analytics. The
Department of Management Studies (DoMS) provides advisory services to the
students so that they gain industry training through three internships, namely one
mandatory summer internship at the end of the second semester and two optional
internships at the end of first and third semester.

5-year BBA MBA programme (IPM):

The five-year Integrated Programme in Management (IPM) at NALSAR has been

uniquely designed for young ignited minds aspiring to pursue a career path in
Business Management. It is designed as a comprehensive management programme
for students after class XII. The students would be awarded Bachelor of Business
Administration (BBA) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) by NALSAR
after successful completion of five years of this programme. Located in a conducive
learning environment, NALSAR promises to offer the best of management education
blended with the law to produce legally aware managers with critical problem-solving
ability and skills to manage extremely dynamic business scenarios with the best-in-
class faculty. The IPM programme promises a constant dialogue with business
leaders, thought leaders, civil society actors and academicians for providing strong
bedrock for the future managers.

Consisting of ten semesters spread across five years, the first 3 years of the
programme are aimed at providing conceptual and practical insights in various areas
including Sociology, Psychology, Political Science, Statistics, Economics and Law
besides Management. The last 2 years are aimed at nurturing holistic transformation
of students into future business leaders and managers.
