Attainment of programme outcomes and course outcomes are evaluated by the institution.
Response:
Programme outcomes (PO) are achieved through curriculum that offers a number of mandatory courses
as well as elective courses. Course Outcomes (CO) are well defined and are prepared for each course.
The level of attainment Cos is measured by both Internal and External examination and other set
parameters. The final course outcome attainment is calculated by making correlation between attainment
through External exam (80% weightage) and internal examination (20% weightage). The level of PO
attainment is measured by methods like direct tools, participation in extended activities like Lok Adalat
Court Visits Legal Aid Activities as well as Extracurricular and Co-curricular component. The details of
evaluation of Attainment of Programme outcomes and course outcomes of academic year 2021-22 are
mentioned in Content sheet below.
Following are the ways to evaluate the attainment of course outcomes:
I. Internal Assessment:

that cover the course material. These tests are designed to assess the students' knowledge, understanding,
and application of the course concepts. The questions are aligned with the course outcomes and covered a
range of topics to comprehensively evaluate the students' learning progress.

practical application of the course content. These activities include group discussions, presentations, case
studies, problem-solving exercises, and debates. The teacher assesses students based on their active
participation, critical thinking skills, and ability to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios.
3. Internship & Client Counselling Sessions: If the course involves an internship component, the
students' involvement and performance during client counselling sessions are evaluated. The evaluation
is focused on their ability to understand clients' needs, provide appropriate advice, demonstrate effective
communication skills, and apply legal or professional principles to practical situations. Feedback from
supervisors or mentors is considered in the evaluation process.
II. External Assessment:
External assessments are conducted by external examiner. These assessments include written exams,
journals, or viva voces that are designed to measure the students' overall understanding of the course
outcomes. The external assessments provide an unbiased evaluation of students' knowledge and skills in
relation to the course objectives. External examiner is appointed to conduct viva voce of students for
practical training papers i.e. Moot Court Training Paper, Professional Ethics and Contempt of Court
Laws Paper, Alternate Dispute Resolution System Paper and Drafting Pleading Conveyancing Paper.
To mention specifically, moot court exercises are incorporated into the evaluation process and they are
assessed based on their performance including their ability to construct strong arguments, case law
presentation, and skills to apply relevant laws and regulations.

Student representation and engagement in various administrative, co-curricular and extracurricular

activities play an important role in creating a vibrant culture and promoting overall student growth in the
institute. Students have many opportunities to get involved on a personal, educational, and community
level.

processes and to gain a greater understanding of how administrative decisions are made.
Through student representation and engagement in administrative activities, students can have a voice in
the development of policies, practices, and programs that shape their college
environment. Student representation on college boards, student councils, and other administrative bodies
provides unique learning opportunities for students to develop communication, problem solving, and
collaborative skills.

Co-curricular activities are typically college-sponsored events and activities where students have a
prospect to explore their interests and develop new skills. Co-curricular activities provides students with
an opportunity to work with their peers and faculties to achieve their common goals, such as organization
and production of college events, publication and management of student publications, and fundraising
for college programs and organizations. Co-curricular activities also create a context for students to
express themselves and develop greater self-awareness and empathy.
3. Extracurricular activities:
Extracurricular activities offer students a chance to explore their interests and hone skills outside the
classroom. They are often unstructured and student-led, providing students with the opportunity to take
the lead in creating, organizing and running activities in interests’ areas such as the arts, sports, and
Page 77/135 22-11-2023 09:54:50

political activism. Through extracurricular activities, students can develop new skills, build meaningful
relationships and gain insights into issues, problem solving and creative expression.
4. Student Mentor – Student Mentee system:
Understanding the importance and benefits of peer learning, institute appoints Student mentors / teaching
assistants to ease the teacher mentor mentee system. Student mentor makes it easy for teacher mentors to
reach to the last student of the class. They act as a catalyst where teaching learning process can be
simplified.
In sum up, student representation and engagement in various administrative, co-curricular and
extracurricular activities promote overall students’ growth, provide learning opportunities, and create a
vibrant college culture. Through their involvement, students are able to gain a deeper understanding of
their college environment, develop valuable skills, healthy relationships, and voice their opinions. Many

The effective leadership is visible in various institutional practices such as decentralization and
participative management
Response:
Dr. D. Y. Patil Law College, renowned for its commitment to excellence in legal education,
demonstrated its progressive and participative approach through the successful organization of a Virtual
National Mediation Competition.
This case study highlights how the institute emphasises on decentralization and participative
management which empowers students and fosters a thriving environment for learning and skill
development.
Decentralization is a management approach that distributes decision-making authority throughout an

organization, giving individuals at all levels the power to make choices. In the context of the Mediation
Competition, the institute exhibited decentralization by entrusting responsibility not only on Principal
and organising committee, but it included all teaching and non-teaching staff, student representatives and
technicians in decision making process, its execution and accomplishment of the competition.
Students were actively involved in the planning phase of the Mediation Competition.
Following committees were constituted for systematic organisation.

Moderation of the event Committee
Through regular meetings, they collaborated to create a comprehensive plan that ensured a seamless
execution of the event. To oversee the competition's smooth functioning, the institute appointed student
coordinators and teachers’ coordinators to lead each committee. These coordinators acted as liaisons
between institute and their respective teams, providing updates and addressing challenges. This not only
gave the faculties, students and technicians valuable leadership experience but also reinforced the
principle of decentralization by having multiple decision-making points.
Participative management involves encouraging employees and students to actively contribute to the
decision-making process, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility. In the Mediation
Competition, students were not just passive participants; they had a significant say in various aspects of
the event.
Students participated in the selection of judges for the competition. They collaborated with faculty
members to identify legal professionals and experts in mediation to serve as judges. Moreover, they
collectively established the competition rule book, brochure design and evaluation criteria, ensuring
transparency and fairness.
During the competition, students were given the opportunity to orient judges regarding rules of the
competition and procedure for filling score sheets on google sheets.
This experience allowed them to showcase their legal knowledge, leadership qualities, time management
abilities, interaction abilities, promptness and attentive skills. While framing mediation proposition with
help of teachers and while presenting mock mediation competition one day before the day of
competition, students also enhanced their critical thinking skills, and advocacy abilities. The participative
management approach ensured that students are felt valued, and their efforts were recognized.
The Mediation Competition exemplified the institute’s commitment to total involvement of all
stakeholders. From the planning stage to the final execution, students were actively engaged in every
aspect of the event. This participation instilled a sense of ownership and pride in their work and fostered
a supportive learning environment.

7.2 Best Practices

7.2.1
Describe two best practices successfully implemented by the Institution as per NAAC format
provided in the Manual.
Page 111/135 22-11-2023 09:54:51

Response:
BEST PRACTICE 1 - ????? ??????? ???? (Justice at Your Doorstep)
Title of the Practice:
????? ??????? ???? (Justice At Your Doorstep) – Legal Aid Services
2. Objectives of the Practice
a) To promote access to justice and legal awareness among marginalized and underprivileged
communities through legal aid activities such as legal aid camps, legal aid clinics, and participation in
Lok Adalat (people's courts).
b) To enhance the practical legal education of students by providing them with hands-on experience in
assisting those in need, fostering a sense of social responsibility, and instilling empathy and compassion
in future legal professionals.
c) To understand legal needs of people and address legal problems of people by giving appropriate legal
advice and taking other necessary steps.
d) To spread awareness about welfare legislations and schemes, and strengthen the community’s access
to the schemes
3. The Context
The contextual features that prompted the development of this best practice in the Indian higher
education setting include widespread socio-economic disparities, a large population of vulnerable
individuals facing legal issues without adequate support, and a need to bridge the gap between theoretical
legal education and practical application. By engaging students in legal aid activities, this practice seeks
to address the challenges faced by marginalized communities and empower law students to become
socially conscious legal practitioners.
The directive principles of state policy include Article 39 A which states about equal justice and free
legal aid. The State shall ensure that the operation of the legal system promotes justice, on a basis of
equal opportunity, and shall provide free legal aid, by suitable legislation or schemes or in any other way,
to ensure that opportunities for securing justice are not denied to any citizen by reason of economic or
other disabilities. Right to free legal aid is also an integral part of Right to Life. To achieve this goal the
practice has been initiated by the institution.
4. The Practice
The practice implemented by Dr. D Y Patil Law College involves the following components:
Legal Aid Committee: The primary objective of the Legal Aid Committee is to promote access
to justice for marginalized and underprivileged individuals in the community. This includes
providing free legal assistance and support to those who cannot afford legal representation. By
pursuing this objective, the Legal Aid Committee plays a crucial role in nurturing socially
Page 112/135 22-11-2023 09:54:51

conscious and responsible legal professionals while making a positive difference in the lives of
those in need of legal assistance. Committee conducted various activities for legal aid as well as
collaborated with District services authorities and other organizations.
Legal Aid Camps: The institute is organizing outreach programs in underserved areas to provide
legal assistance, education, and awareness to the local population. It aims to create legal
awareness at grassroot level. Student’s active participation in camps made them aware about the
socio-legal issues. Rally, Street play, skits these activities are done by students.
Legal Aid Clinic: The institute has established an on-campus legal aid clinic in collaboration
with Pune District Legal Services Authorities to offer free legal advice, consultation, and support
to the needy people. This is the first Legal Aid Clinic established in Pimpri Chinchwad
Corporation Area. The Practicing advocates are appointed to guide the needy people. These legal
services are provided by the Advocates who work pro bono, meaning “for the public good”, or
without charge. It is a good form of community-oriented education for students.
Participation in Lok Adalat: Engaging students in Lok Adalat sessions, which are alternative
dispute resolution forums that aim to expedite justice and resolve pending cases. Lok Adalats are
organized by the Pune District Court & Morwadi Court periodically. Students participated in the
activity enthusiastically and got practical knowledge through participation.
The uniqueness of this practice lies in its integration of legal aid activities within the academic
curriculum, combining practical legal training with community service. By directly involving students in
legal aid work, it nurtures a sense of social bindingness and ethical values while contributing to the
betterment of society.
Constraints and limitations faced during implementation may include inadequate funding, logistical
challenges in organizing legal aid camps, and potential resistance from traditional academic practices that
prioritize theoretical learning. Main hurdle for these activities is people hesitate to convey their real
issues.
Success of this best practice can be gauged through various measures, such as:
- Number of legal aid camps conducted to reach underserved communities.
- Cases resolved through the legal aid clinic and Lok Adalat participation.
- Positive feedback from beneficiaries and community members.
- Enhanced practical skills and social awareness amongst participating students.
- Appreciation by the village authorities where the legal aid camp was conducted.
- Appreciation by the Pune District Legal Services Authorities.
The results of this practice should indicate increased access to justice for marginalized groups,
empowered communities with improved legal awareness, and law students better prepared to serve as
empathetic and socially responsible legal professionals.

only benefited the marginal people, but it also created a sense of social responsibility amongst students as
a budding lawyer. Students were imbued with the importance of the noble profession of advocates
through these activities.
BEST PRACTICE 2
?????? ????????
MOOT COURT: RIGOROUS TRAINING FOR LAW STUDENTS
2. Objectives of the Practice:
Page 114/135 22-11-2023 09:54:51

The objectives of this best practice on Moot Court activities at Dr. D Y Patil Law College are as follows:
a) Enhance Legal Advocacy Skills: The practice aims to develop and refine the legal advocacy skills of
law students, including research, oral argumentation, and critical analysis, through participation in moot
court competitions.
b) Promote Practical Learning: By engaging students in simulated courtroom scenarios, the practice
seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical legal education and practical application, preparing them for
real-life legal practice.
c) Foster Confidence and Professionalism: The practice intends to install confidence, professionalism,
and poise in students, preparing them to present their arguments effectively before judges and peers.
d) Build Networking Opportunities: By participating in national and intercollegiate moot court

competitions, students have the opportunity to network with legal professionals and peers from other
institutions, fostering career development prospects.
3. The Context:
In the context of legal education in India, moot court activities hold significant value. The Indian legal
system places high importance on oral advocacy skills, and moot court competitions provide a platform
for students to refine these skills. However, challenges arise in providing students with ample
opportunities to participate in such activities, including limited resources, scheduling conflicts, and
logistical constraints. Addressing these challenges is crucial to ensure a well-rounded legal education and
prepare students for the competitive legal profession. Moot court activities are not only to enhance the
knowledge of the participant but also make them familiar with the court room etiquettes.
4. The Practice
Moot court basically means a replica of a real court where legal proceedings and trials take place.
Students who are studying law act as professionals and take up all the responsibilities and duties
according to their role to see their ability to think creatively and answer the questions and show their
oratory, writing and persuasive skills.
This best practice of Moot Court involves a comprehensive approach to moot court activities, comprising
the following components:
Moot Court Committee: The institute has constituted Moot Court Committees i.e. Internal Moot
Court Committee as well as External Moot Court Committee. The committee initiated moot court
activities from the very first year of the course. The guiding sessions of experts were organized
for the students who wanted to participate in moot court competition.
Moot Court Orientation Programs: The institute has conducted a number of orientation programs
to encourage students for participating in various competitions as well as to enlighten students on
mooting skills which will be beneficial for them in their professional life.
Intra-Collegiate Moot Court Competition: Conducting Internal Moot Court competitions within
the college, allowing all students to participate and gain valuable experience. The purpose of this
competition was to provide them with an opportunity to practice their research and presentation
skills in the domestic moot court competition. This competition was aimed to boost the
Page 115/135 22-11-2023 09:54:51

confidence of the students in mooting skills.

Participation in intercollegiate Competitions: Encouraging students to participate in moot court
competitions organized by other colleges and institutions across the country. Students participated
in various National & International Moot Court Competition conducted by other institutions like
MKES College of Law Malad Mumbai, Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law Punjab, IMS
Unison University Dehradun, Shivaji University Kolhapur etc and many other institutions
situated in Pune.
National Moot Court Competitions: Organizing and participating in prestigious national-level
moot court competitions, exposing students to a high standard of competition and diverse legal
issues. Many colleges throughout India participated in the National Dr. D. Y. Patil Moot Court
Competition. Students of the institution worked as volunteers and had great experience about the
competition.
Uniqueness: Moot court exercise & internship is the part of law syllabus for the final year students. Our
institute has conducted Intra-Collegiate Moot Court Competitions from the first year of the law course.
The uniqueness of this practice lies in its commitment to providing students with multiple opportunities
to engage in moot court activities, both internally and externally. By participating in various
competitions, students encounter a wide range of legal issues and advocacy styles, enriching their
learning experience.
Constraints/Limitations: Constraints faced during the implementation of this practice may include
financial limitations to fund participation in external competitions, faculty availability to provide
mentorship, and potential conflicts with academic schedules.
5. Evidence of Success:
The evidence of success for this best practice can be measured through several indicators:
- Number of National and International Moot Court Competitions participated in, by the college.
- Performance of students in these competitions, including awards and recognition received.
- Feedback from judges and external institutions on the professionalism and preparation of Dr. D. Y.
Patil Law College.
- Alumni achievements in their legal careers, showcasing the impact of moot court activities on their
professional growth.
These results indicate the effectiveness of the practice in honing the legal advocacy skills of students and
preparing them for successful careers in the legal field. Most of the alumni are practicing in the court of
law.
6. Problems Encountered and Resources Required:
Problems encountered during the implementation of this practice may include:
Financial constraints to cover travel and registration expenses for external competitions.
Balancing academic schedules and extracurricular activities to ensure active student participation.

Resources required to implement the practice successfully include:
Adequate funding to support participation in national moot court competitions.

Experienced legal professionals or faculty members to provide mentorship and feedback.
Proper infrastructure and facilities to conduct internal moot court competitions and training
sessions.
By addressing these challenges and allocating the necessary resources, the college can continue to
enhance the moot court activities and provide a valuable practical learning experience to its students.
